Educational methodologies

Training activities, teaching methodologies and evaluation systems

Here you will find the various types of training activities, teaching methodologies and evaluation systems that apply to the various subjects taught in the Faculty of Arts.

1.Theoretical classes (masterclasses, participatory, face-to-face etc.) 
Presentation, on the part of the teacher, of the theoretical contents typical of the subject, while propitiating a participative attitude in the students and not just receptive.

2.Practical classes (activities, exercises or practical works, etc.) 
Work with reduced groups of students which, based on the theoretical information given, carry out exercises or other activities linked to the practical development of the studies or of their professional openings.

3.Reading and commenting on texts (articles, books, book chapters etc.)
 Work by students with different textual modalities with the objectives of analysing, understanding and appraising their contents, as well as exercising their oral and written expression skills.

4.Production of written works (report, essay, memory, project, etc.) 
Production on the part of students of written work in several formats based on research, reading and analysis of the relevant documentation.

5.Participation in debates, seminars, etc.
Debates and discussions, in small or large groups that are conducive to participation, the formulation of constructive questions and critical judgement, as well as addressing new problems that are connected. 

6.Viewing/listening of materials 
Viewing and/or listening to audiovisual or sound materials, and subsequent analysis and comment.

7.Field trips, visits, fieldwork
Visits to companies, institutions, territories or heritage spaces linked to the content of the subject.

8.Participation in events of academic interest (lectures, conferences, screenings etc.) 
Participation in academic events, as well as others that, even though they do not take place in formal learning settings, would be of academic interest all the same. 

9.Personalised tutorials 
Personalised attention for students where the tutor guides them in the educational process, at the same time prompting self-reflection and the improvement of their personal and learning development.

10.Education and personal study activities
Independent learning of the student based on the theoretical contents given and skills exercised, in on-site classes as well as in the placement periods, as well as the use of materials, complementary information and bibliographical references facilitated to them or recommended to them during their education. 

11.Placements (in companies, institutions, etc.) 
Application of the knowledge and skills acquired in classes in a professional environment.

1.Formal presentations (masterclass, theoretical lesson, lecture, etc)
Presentation where the teacher presents the theoretical contents of the subject using the teaching resources needed in each case.

2.Dynamic presentations (resolution of exercises in the classroom, comment of texts, case studies etc.) 
Analysis, debate and troubleshooting, cases or exercises related with the contents of the subject. 

3.Group work (seminars, debates, discussion forums, etc.) 
Training activities carried out by students in small groups and evaluated according to the results of the collective work. 

4.Inverted classroom 
Proposed by the teacher and using Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) or other resources (e.g.,readings or previous consultations), the student finds information and documents about subjects, questions or problems that will later be treated in an on-site class.

5.Integrated tasks 
Methodologies that, in spite of incorporating elements that in a more traditional praxis would be used in an atomised way, aim to attain totality in education, collaborative work, personalised attention and ongoing assessment.Good examples would be problem-based learning or the teaching portfolio.

6.Work by projects 
 Active learning where a project or a task is proposed to the student to develop based on situations or problems of the real or professional world, requiring the student to carry out not just a search for information and a systematisation of the information obtained, but also an analysis of the project or of the task to be carried out. 

1.Written tests 
Test where the student demonstrates, through the answers to the questions posed, the knowledge and the skills that they have acquired during their education.These questions can be of different types: open questions of relation or creation, concrete and specific questions, or questions of a test type. 

2.Oral presentations 
Oral presentation and defence, on the part of the student, of a work to be evaluated by one or a set of examiners.The student will be able to use the explanatory resources that are pertinent to their presentation. 

3.Academic works 
Completion, on the part of the student, of a written piece of research in a pre-established format where the objectives, the methodology used and the results attained are presented, at the same time demonstrating their research ability, that is, their ability to gather information and to reflect pertinently on the subject of the research.

4.Resolution of exercises, placements, problems, case studies, etc. 
Exercises, placements, problems or cases to be resolved where the student, through their answers, has to demonstrate in a practical way that they have the theoretical knowledge and skills typical of the subject.

5.Participation in class 
Appraisal of the active participation of the student in class activities that require this, for example, through questions, comments or pertinent critical judgements.

6.Self-assessment 
Appraisal, which may be individual or shared (co-evaluation), where students themselves assess their work and the results obtained in carrying out a certain educational activity.
