10. Assessment

General considerations.

A double evaluation system is established. On the one hand, the “continuous evaluation” and, on the other, the “global” system. The first requires attendance and compulsory (class attendance). The second focuses on the written test that will be carried out at the end of the semester (according to the official exam schedule) and will consist of the answer to the questions asked by the teacher based on the content worked on in class (lectures, exposed papers, discussion and debate documents, and reading book). It is designed for working students with part-time academic dedication and progressive acquisition of skills, which will be verified at the end. The book under evaluation in the “global” modality is the following: A. Schleicher (2018). World Class. How built a 21st-Century School System. OECD.

The continuous evaluation system is detailed in the following sections.

Punctuation system:

Written test (content: those explained by the teacher): 30% of the total.

Exposure and defense of group work: 20%

Group and oral presentation, in tutorials, of the reading book: 20%.

Participation in seminar sessions (in class and online text): 20%.

Other activities (interventions, practices, assistance, involvement, etc.): 10%.

Note: both in the “continuous assessment” and in the “global” modality, the minimum mark for the written test and the book interview must be greater than 2 points (out of 10), in both activities, otherwise , the final evaluation will be the one of suspense.

Exams (both modalities), according to the calendar prepared by the Center.

Assessment criteria.

1.   Group work. Cooperative (group) work requires responsibility, active participation, commitment and interdependence. Criteria: in the exposition knowledge domain, fluency in the explanation and ability to respond to the questions and doubts raised; In the elaboration and writing of the work, it is required to follow the logical structure (attract, form and retain), writing the content that implies elaboration and synthesis (not description), general conclusions and documentary support.

2.   Group and oral presentation of the reading book: conceptual understanding; reflective study; synthesis of the content studied; personal explanation with ease and mastery of knowledge.

3.   Online text. The evaluation of the responses will follow the following criteria: focus of the response; qualitative elaboration of academic information; concentrated and fluent writing; contribution or extrapolation of ideas and content.

4.   Written proof. Criteria: mastery of knowledge, creativity in contribution, professional language and academic reasoning.

5.   In the practical sessions of seminars or workshops the quality and richness of the interventions will be valued and not the quantity of the same.

6.   Tasks are the means (not the ends) of evaluation.

Assessment tools.

Contents of the written test

Online text. Deliveries

Group work presentation.

Reading the book.

Field practice (seminars).

Assessment recommendations.

Since the evaluation system is continuous, continuous academic effort is required in the preparation of the seminar sessions, the work to be presented and the daily involvement in the academic work.

Guidelines in the case of failing the subject.

In relation to the contents and assessment system for recovery (second call), the weighting and quantification system of the first will be followed. However, the content of the evaluation of the second call will be that set for the first in the non-attendance system (the global test that will be carried out only in writing).
