Student Assessment
Description
Student evaluation is structured around two levels: a) study of bibliography and writing of short reports b) gradual composition of field assignment that records and analyzes the characteristics of the educational settings that are related to the assignment and visited by the students to this end. In this view, courses follow the procedure of continuous assessment which includes two phases: Phase A: a) Written assignments and reports to improve the skills needed for the course as well as to provide experience in regard with intervention matters in the educational setting b) Presentation and commentary on a representative sample taken from these assignments Phase B: Final (summative) assignment in which students: • compile findings and conclusions from written assignments and reports of Phase A • make proposals to redesign space and the educational procedure which is related to the educational setting of the school that they previously visited and studied.
Student Assessment methods
  • Written Exam with Multiple Choice Questions (Formative, Summative)
  • Written Assignment (Formative, Summative)
