TFG Guide

The bachelor's thesis (TFG) is a compulsory 12-credit module that involves the student undertaking a project that allows the, to apply, integrate and develop the knowledge, capabilities, competencies and skills required on the Bachelor’s Degree in Social Education.The TFG is aimed at evaluating the skills associated with the degree and concludes with the public defence, and evaluation and grading of the work.

The objective of the bachelor's thesis is to produce a scientific article on a specific issue related to social education and the areas of work of social educators.The work must show that the student has analysed documentation on the chosen topic, established
work objectives/hypotheses, designed and applied an analysis or data collection methodology, analysed the results obtained and made specific evidence-based contributions.In addition to the preparation of the written work and its oral defence, in order to pass the bachelor’s thesis (TFG), students must attend the compulsory training sessions and group tutorials provided to ensure the quality and monitoring of the work.

The work can be developed from one of the following proposals, the feasibility of which will depend on the chosen subject, and the criteria set by the tutor.These can be:

• The preparation of a needs analysis for a group or community, which will serve as basis for a project that the service needs to undertake.
• Research with a methodology that includes collecting, analysing and interpreting data.

In order to enrol on the bachelor's thesis, it is necessary to have previously passed all the compulsory credits required in the first three years of the degree, and to be enrolled in all the subjects pending completion.

Under no circumstances will any form of recognition or compensation be applicable to the bachelor's thesis (TFG), nor may it be undertaken as a one-off assessment.

The bachelor's thesis (TFG) for the Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology at the UdG involves the student completing a project that involves the integration and development of the knowledge, capabilities, competencies and skills worked on throughout the degree programme.The work can be research-based or have a professional focus.Some of the types of bachelor's thesis envisaged are the design and/or application of an intervention proposal, the production of psycho-educational or intervention material, the conducting of empirical research, a systematic review of the literature, or a proposal for the improvement of a project or service.

The bachelor's thesis counts for 12 ECTS credits and is undertaken on an annual basis.It involves a total student workload of 300 hours, partly carried out independently and partly through tutorials/seminars.Some of the tutorials are carried out with a group of students and a team of tutors, and others with an
individual tutor.

The bachelor’s thesis is generally to be done individually, but in exceptional circumstances it can be undertaken by a group (of maximum 2/3 people) when authorised by the programme coordinator.

Due to the nature of the subject as a compendium, under no circumstances will any form of recognition or compensation be applicable to the bachelor's thesis, nor may it be undertaken as a one-off assessment.

Students are offered the opportunity to participate in research seminars, with face-to-face group sessions on bibliographic management tools, research designs and methods, data analysis and interpretation, as well as individual support sessions, in order to help them complete their bachelor's thesis.

The Bachelor’s thesis concludes with a public defence, and the evaluation and grading of the written work.

The bachelor's degree for Pedagogy thesis is a compulsory module, worth 18 ECTS credits, which is carried out in the second semester of the fourth year.It is specifically oriented to assess the attainment of the course’s objectives and the professional and transferable skills imparted by the degree.It requires the student to produce a coherent, challenging, and original piece of work.

There are four types of bachelor’s thesis

• Works of theoretical exploration (a bachelor's thesis based fundamentally on bibliographic research on a specific subject.It is a work of comparative and analytical synthesis).
• Research projects (these are bachelors’ theses where a significant part is centred on fieldwork in order to collect and subsequently analyse data related to the object of study).
• Intervention or evaluation projects (these are bachelors' theses that as the name indicates, are primarily aimed at producing a specific proposal for intervention or evaluation in the field of education). 
• Bachelor's theses in professional contexts (these are projects set by an organisation, entity or association, and in most cases address a real-life issue).

Students will present and orally defend their work before a three-person committee.

While working on their thesis, students will receive both individual and group advice from a tutor, and in the case of bachelor's theses in professional contexts, also from a professional from the organisation that has commissioned the project.

The Bachelor's Thesis (TFG) is like a course focused on independent learning, where the emphasis is on the students’ capacities to carry out study work/original and rigorous exploration and undergo a viva before a committee/tribunal of teachers.

This work seeks to ensure the application, integration and development of the knowledge, capacities, competences and skills required in the Degree and professional practice.While working on their thesis, students will apply the theoretical and practical knowledge acquired over the course of their Bachelor's Degree in Social Work.In the course of their work, students will receive individual and group guidance, and advice from faculty members who will act as their thesis supervisors.

The bachelor’s thesis is carried out during the last semester of the Bachelor's Degree, accounts for 12 ECTS credits, and represents a workload of 300 hours.As stated in the degree report, in order to enrol for the bachelor's thesis it is necessary to have passed all the credits corresponding to the basic and compulsory subjects taken in the first two academic years.

There are four types of bachelor's thesis

• Theoretical studies.
• Research.
• Project development.
• Evaluation and systematisation of experiences.

For all types of thesis, it is considered essential that the subject responds to concerns specific to Social Work, and that in the conclusions an effort is made to apply the learning and knowledge acquired.Conclusions will, in part, need to include guidelines for the improvement of professional practice, institutional or organisational mechanisms, social policies, etc.

As a general rule, the bachelor's thesis is an individual project.However, with justification, a thesis may be undertaken in groups of a maximum of two people, with the prior authorisation of the committee.

Students will be advised by a tutor both individually and as part of a group.Apart from the group and individual tutorials that students will have with their tutor throughout the semester, a number of sessions are also offered to all students enrolled for a bachelor's thesis to discuss matters related to the process of designing and undertaking research.
