Faculty of Education and Psychology

Students

To define it briefly, the practicum of any of the FEP courses involves the following important steps:

  • The Faculty makes students aware of the placements available at centres for the following year.This announcement is usually made between April and May.
  • Each student has the chance to select the placement or placements most suited to them and their needs from those available.At this point, each course has its own methods to assign placements, which are always structured and known by everyone before being applied.The aim is to assign a placement to each student before the end of the academic year, so that everybody knows where they will be doing their placement before the summer of the year in which the placements are carried out.
  • An academic tutor is assigned to the each student’s practicum by the Course Coordinator.In some cases this assignment can be made before the end of the academic year, and in others it is carried out during the first weeks of the practicum.
  • From then on, and following the timing of each course, practical exercises begin.At these points a team is formed by the student, their academic tutor and their professional tutor who, according to the corresponding practicum plan, can set out the particular aspects of each student’s practical exercise.It is understood, therefore, that each student’s practicum is unique and can be maximised as far as the team mentioned allows. 

Criteria for opening new places for curricular placements at the request of students from bachelor's and master’s degrees of the FEP

Recommendations for recording audio and images as part of the FEP courses and particularly practical class work, the bachelor's thesis and the master's thesis
Approved at the 2/2018 session of 10 May 2018

In accordance with the academic secretary's office and the FEP dean's office, and in response to requests for audio and image recording in the context of academic work, especially internship placements, and bachelor's and master's degree theses, we inform you that:

  1. Audiovisual material cannot be included in academic work such as bachelor's and master's degree theses and internship reports without the explicit authorisation of the person being recorded, and in the case of minors, without the consent of the child or teenager's father, mother or legal guardian and the consent of the educational centre or organisation where the work is being undertaken.Schools, social services, health centres and other public or private organisations and services are required to request this authorisation from parents or legal guardians on each occasion.In accordance with Law 14/2010, of 27 May, on the rights and opportunities of children and adolescents, only parents or guardians have the right to authorise recordings of children.Furthermore, in the case of children in care, authorisation from the DGAIA (General Directorate for the Care of Children and Adolescents of the Regional Government) is required.
  2. In accordance with Organic Law 15/1999, of 13 December, on the protection of personal data, it must be guaranteed, with the authorisation of parents or guardians, that the dissemination and/or purpose of the material recorded with people (adults or minors) will be for academic purposes only, and will never be exhibited for any other purpose.
  3. In the event that the relevant authorisations are in place, if the student is thinking of making the recording, they must guarantee that the recorded material is exclusively for academic purposes and cannot, under any circumstances, be exhibited or disseminated outside the framework of the specific subject or by any means other than the one authorised.The student will be held responsible should this happen. 

In short, great care must be taken with the recording of images or audio, and when it is the student who is doing so, it will be their sole responsibility to obtain the necessary permissions, and to ensure that the subsequent diffusion and storage of the recording(s) is in line with requirements.

Agreement on the application of the regulations governing external academic internships with regard to exemption from the external placement component of the curriculum for bachelor's and master’s degree studies at the UdG to FEP bachelor's and masters degree programmes

Approved by the Governing Committee at the Faculty of Education and Psychology, session number:1/2017, 27 April 2017

Annex

Article 10 on Recognition of professional and work experience in the regulations governing external academic internships as part of bachelor's and master’s degree studies at the UdG

Approved by the Governing Council in ordinary session no.8/12, of 20 December 2012.

Recognition of accredited work and professional experience, provided it is related to the competences inherent to the degree, can mean that the student is exempt from undertaking the placement stay, but not from enrolling on the subject, the tutoring and the assessment.In accordance with the procedures established in Article 1 of these regulations, students will need to pass the required assessment activities, usually the internship report.

Students who consider that their work or professional activity has equipped them with the competencies established in the external placements subject of the curriculum must request to be exempt from the external stay, for which they will attach the documentation accrediting their relationship with the institution (contract of employment, administrative appointment, inclusion in the census, or other) and a report in which the tasks they undertook, the functions they developed, the hours they worked and the period of time are specified.

The regulations of each teaching centre must establish the characteristics of the professional experience, the minimum acceptable duration, and the mechanisms of accreditation.

The person responsible for the external placements must determine if the accredited experience is sufficient to be exempt from the external stay.If it is, the student must enrol on the external placements or practicum subject and they will be assigned a tutor and later deliver the placement report, under the conditions established by the assigned academic tutor, which will be evaluated and marked.

Students who enrol on the subject and later request exemption from the external stay which is not granted, can cancel the enrolment for the purpose of calculation of calls without the right to recover the corresponding cost of enrolment.
