4. COURSE DESCRIPTION AND TEACHING METHODOLOGY

I understand that the teaching / learning process must always
be dynamic and open, which implies, therefore, a continuous
interaction between the teacher and the students from which both
benefit. True curricular planning is carried out in classroom
practice, where the program adapts, contextualizes and makes it
more flexible to the reality of the students. Therefore, the
project of the subject should not be understood as something
finished, closed and valid by itself, but rather it is constituted
as a proposal that acquires its reason for being in its concrete
teaching application, where educational, didactic, scientific,
academic, personal, ethical and social skills of the teacher and
students. On paper, schematism prevails over the complexity of the
real teaching / learning process, which is difficult to reduce to
logical categories, models or taxonomies.

At university, as a teacher, I face students who have already
developed capacities in the cognitive, ethical, personal, social
and even professional fields and, therefore, with a degree of
autonomy and decision-making capacity that is very different from
the rest of the world. non-university education levels. Therefore,
a good part of the teaching or curricular planning decisions I move
to the classroom, the course and the specific group of students
with whom I work. University teachers are faced with active
subjects with a predisposition, knowledge and previous experiences
on the contents, teaching and learning strategies and with a
metacognitive capacity to assume self-assessment and
self-regulation quotas. Therefore, moving part of the planning and
design of each subject to the classroom allows me a teaching that
is more focused on the student body, more open and participatory,
more adjusted to their interests, desires and needs and, therefore,
more appropriate to the demands of specific students.

Spanish American literature classes are divided into two
fundamental types, although in practice they are always
interrelated: theoretical and practical, these are more
participatory for the student. It is advisable that even the former
are largely based on different texts that demand the attention of
the student and whose comments suppose a starting point or point of
reference, with which the student accesses a comprehensive,
historical, critical, linguistic and textual vision of the Spanish
literature.

If the theoretical classes provide the conceptual information
of the topics and the methodological aspects for the approach to
the texts, the practical classes deepen these, getting the student
to access the critical analysis of Spanish-American literature on
their own.

In practical classes, exhibitions and seminars and specialized
tutorials, I have as basic objectives to achieve that the student
acquires relevant skills and procedures (oral and written
communication, decision-making, active application of knowledge,
inference of conclusions, learning by discovery, planning and
realization of research, selection of procedures, text review, data
recording, autonomous and group work, presentation of results in
the classroom) and learn to use the various philological and
textual analysis methods, exercising them.

Students with special educational needs should contact the Student Attention Service (Servicio de Atención y Ayudas al Estudiante) in order to receive the appropriate academic support

5. ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY

The active participation of the student in class will be
taken into account.
