ASSESSMENT
Article 135.1.v) of the Statutes of the University of Murcia, Article 8.6 of the Student Assessment Regulations (REVA), and Instruction SG 18/2026 of the General Secretary of the University of Murcia interpreting these rules apply to the assessment process. This instruction is available at this link: https://sede.um.es/sede/documento/normativa/instruccion-del-secretario-general-sg-18-2026-sobre-la-interpretacion-y-aplicacion-del-art-135-1-v-estatutos-umu/24199.pdf. Students are also reminded that Article 22.1 of the Student Assessment Regulations (REVA) stipulates that "any student who engages in fraudulent conduct, including the improper attribution of identity or authorship, or is in possession of means or instruments that facilitate such conduct, will receive a grade of zero in the assessment process and, where appropriate, may face disciplinary action following the opening of a disciplinary file."
To pass the course, students must achieve a minimum of 5 out of 10 points, and must score at least 50% of the weight in each of the assessment indicators (SE1, SE2, and SE6).
If a student needs to use the rescheduled exam session (convocatoria de incidencias), the exam may be multiple-choice or short-answer, as determined by the coordinating professor of the group.
If a student, due to unforeseen circumstances covered by Article 8.6 of the REVA, cannot complete the continuous assessment, they may take a comprehensive assessment (prueba de evaluación global). The comprehensive assessment will consist of a theoretical-practical exam that ensures the acquisition of all learning outcomes (100%) [See details for each group below].
In the academic term in which this course is taught, there is no right to retake continuous assessment activities, except in the cases covered by Article 8.6 of the REVA. Students who—due to unforeseen circumstances—have not participated in the continuous assessment may opt for the comprehensive assessment through a theoretical-practical exam that ensures the acquisition of all learning outcomes. This exam will be divided into: (1) an objective test to assess the degree of acquisition of the theoretical content of the course (50%), and (2) one or more practical case studies to assess the degree of acquisition of the practical skills of the course.
Students who pass the course are reminded that "This right—the right to a retake—does not mandate a retake when the student has undergone continuous assessment and passed it, without prejudice to the faculty's authority to offer this option when deemed appropriate."
For students who have NOT passed the course, the continuous assessment grades (SE3 and SE6) will be kept for subsequent exam sessions until the course is taught again, unless a retake is requested. In the exam sessions following the one in which the course is taught, students may request to retake the assessment systems regardless of whether they passed them. The option to retake must be exercised by sending an email to the course instructor within 5 days following the publication of the exam call on the Virtual Classroom (AV). The SE3 assessment system will be retaken by submitting the "practical dossier" (groups 1, 3, 4, 5, 9, and Z) or "challenges" (group 2) through the "Tasks" tool within the deadlines specified in the call published on the course site (AV). The SE6 assessment system will be retaken through a critical reflection activity on the development of the course. [See details for each group below]
COURSE TIMELINE:
Students will have access to a timeline in the Virtual Classroom, which will be progressively updated.
ABOUT THE METHODOLOGY:
Teaching innovation resources and tools may be used in the course to improve student learning.
Additional material for the preparation of practical activities will be provided in detail. These practical activities are subject to the academic calendar.
This course is directly linked to Sustainable Development Goal 4: Quality Education.
SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS: Students with disabilities or special educational needs may contact the Diversity and Volunteer Care Service (ADYV - https://www.um.es/adyv) to receive guidance on making better use of their learning process and, where appropriate, for the adoption of equalization and improvement measures for inclusion, pursuant to Rectoral Resolution R-358/2016. The handling of information regarding these students is strictly confidential, in compliance with the Personal Data Protection Law (LOPD).
SPECIFICATIONS FOR GROUP 1
- Retaking continuous assessment: Students can retake the exam as well as the activity dossier. To retake the activity dossier, they must complete a series of parallel activities related to the content of the practical sessions.
- Retaking criterion SE6 will consist of a reflection activity on the various activities carried out in class, their contribution to student learning, and a personal assessment.
The comprehensive assessment contains theoretical-practical content. It is a mixed exam containing multiple-choice questions, short-answer questions, and a case study analysis.
NOTE: Students who decide to retake criteria they previously passed will keep the new grade obtained in the current exam session.
SPECIFICATIONS FOR GROUP 2:
Comprehensive Assessment (Group 2)
Pursuant to Instruction SG-18/2026 on the interpretation and application of Article 135.1.v) of the Statutes of the University of Murcia and the Student Assessment Regulations (REVA), students who opt for the comprehensive assessment modality will complete an assessment equivalent to the continuous assessment. This is aimed at verifying the acquisition of the same learning outcomes and competences planned for the course.
The comprehensive assessment will include activities equivalent to those developed during the continuous assessment and will consist of the following assessment systems:
- Individual written test (60%): assessment of the theoretical and practical contents of the course through objective-response questions, development questions, and analysis of educational situations.
- Individual Challenge-Based Learning (CBL/ABR) project (30%): the student will develop an individual project equivalent to the one completed during the continuous assessment. To do this, they will select one of the proposed challenges, ground the analysis in current scientific evidence, interpret the problem from the perspective of Educational Psychology, design justified educational proposals, and write an academic report. In place of the interview conducted during the continuous assessment, a practical case or documentary material will be provided to assess the same learning outcomes and competences.
- Individual reflection and analysis activity (10%): aimed at assessing the ability to integrate course content, justify decisions made, and reflect critically on the teaching and learning process. This activity replaces the continuous assessment based on participation and monitoring of the work developed during the semester.
The project and reflection activity will be graded using the same criteria and rubrics applied in the continuous assessment, adapted to the characteristics of the comprehensive assessment, ensuring equivalence in the level of demand and the evaluated learning outcomes.
Retaking Assessment Activities (Group 2)
Retakable assessment activities will be conducted through the same activities planned for the comprehensive assessment modality, ensuring the assessment of the same learning outcomes, competences, and assessment criteria established for the continuous assessment.
The grade obtained in the continuous assessment systems will be kept for subsequent exam sessions until the course is taught again, unless the student requests to retake it.
Students who have not participated in the continuous assessment, or who did participate but did not pass the course, may opt for the comprehensive assessment under the terms established in this syllabus and in accordance with Instruction SG-18/2026 and the Student Assessment Regulations of the University of Murcia.
