3. CONTENT DESCRIPTION

I. Fundamentals of scientific activity and research in Social Education.

II. Phases, processes and designs of social research.

III. Approaches and research designs in Social Education.

IV. Preparation, management and dissemination and evaluation of research reports in Social Education.

4. COURSE DESCRIPTION AND TEACHING METHODOLOGY

The methodology followed is participatory and collaborative, with interventions both teachers and students and seeking at all times the acquisition of learning in a reflective, innovative and inquiring in the sources of information and in the contexts of Social Education.

The theoretical classes combine the exposition of the contents by the teacher with the reflection and comments of the same by the students, as well as the realization of activities related to these contents in the theoretical classes.

The practical classes contemplate the development of research projects in Social Education, documentation, review of documentary databases, realization of research projects, resolution of cases, data analysis, etc. Performing in some cases in the classroom and in other cases in computer rooms.

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

Evaluation of the Theoretical-Practical Content (70%):

The theoretical and practical contents of the subject will be evaluated by carrying out a knowledge test (exam on the official calendar date) of the 4 content blocks of the subject. The test will consist of a question of development, a question of practical application (problems, assumptions, etc.) and a set of questions of closed answer type test. The exam will have a value of 70% (weighted) of the total value of the subject.

Evaluation of the Practices and Research Work: 25% (weighted)

The attendance, participation and correct execution of the Practices-Seminars, will have up to 5% of the total value of the subject. To overcome the subject it is precious to attend and perform the internship.

The realization of a work or research project in Social Education with an empirical approach and respecting the rules for carrying out these reports and public defense in class, will have a value of up to 25% of the subject.

The PATIE-ERASMUS students will have to contact the teacher at the beginning of the semester to configure and adapt their training process.

7. VIRTUAL / CLASSROOM TEACHING SCENARIO

Following the indications of the Faculty of Humanities and Educational Sciences of the UJA, "Degrees whose number of students and classrooms assigned for teaching do not allow the theory and practice teaching activity to be carried out in person and simultaneously for the entire group, weeks of semi-attendance and weeks of non-attendance would alternate. In the weeks of semi-attendance, classroom theory and / or practice may be taught, with the necessary group divisions so that the students in the classroom do not exceed, in any case, the capacity allowed by health measures. In the weeks of non-attendance all teaching would be taught by virtual means synchronously or asynchronously. "

Given that the number of students enrolled in this subject exceeds 75-80 students, a multimodal or mixed teaching scenario cannot be developed, neither in the theoretical part nor in the practical part of the subject, since the safety distance would not be ensured in no case (theory classrooms) and much less in computer science classrooms (classrooms for the practices of this subject).

Only a mixed or multimodal scenario would be possible in the event that one of the 4 classrooms of the University of Jaén were assigned for theory, which allow teaching for groups of 44 people (E1, E2, E3 and E4) respecting the distance of security of at least 1.5 meters, and in no case in the computer rooms.

Therefore, for this subject of this degree, a multi-modal or mixed teaching scenario would not be possible.

Only in the event that this degree were assigned to one of the classrooms that allow the safe distance to be preserved for a group of more than 40 students, only in that case, would multimodal or mixed teaching be taught. For this, the organization would be as follows (a model is proposed for the first two weeks, which would be repeated in odd and even weeks, respectively):

Week 1.

Semipresencial subgroup 1 (40 students), also group of Practices 1 (Practices 1).

No face-to-face subgroup 2 (40 students), also no face-to-face in practice group 2.

Week 2

Semipresencial subgroup 2 (40 students), also group of Practices 2 (Practices 2).

No attendance subgroup 1 (40 students), also no attendance in practice group 1.

In the following weeks this sequence will be alternated. Always respecting the criteria established by the Faculty of Humanities and Educational Sciences, and provided that the safety distance between students is ensured.

The rest of the organizational and curricular questions of the Teaching Guide would follow in this scenario the indications reflected in the "no face-to-face" scenario.

8. VIRTUAL TEACHING SCENARIO

Brief description of changes in content and skills.
The contents that would be partially affected would be those that are developed in a section of ("Procedures for the analysis of the results"), of the II Block of Contents Phases, Processes and Designs of Social Research. Only in part, not in its entirety, having to adapt the development of aspects related to practices in the computer room and the analysis of research results.
The basic competences and general competences in the teaching guides will not be altered, since all of them will be developed through the online classes, the practical tasks developed and during the group work that the students carry out, as well as with the autonomous work. by the student.
Only the full development of specific competence No. 11 (CE11) will be affected: "Knowing how to use socio-pedagogical procedures and techniques for intervention, mediation and analysis of personal, family and social reality", since some of the practices planned in the computer room with the support of programs for data analysis, it has not been possible to carry them out, as a result of the situation that forces students to be at home. For the development of this competition, it was planned to carry out practices on data analysis with programs to calculate it, which have been replaced by "pencil and paper" exercises and video tutorials available on different thematic channels, as well as the activities carried out by the teacher through video-classes with the resource "Google Meet" that is available at the University of Jaén. Throughout the remaining 3 courses of the Degree, students will be able to acquire this competence without problem, in various subjects as well as in the completion of the Final Degree Project.

Changes in teaching methodology
It will not be necessary a methodological change in teaching (neither in theory nor in practices), in the development of the theoretical sessions or in the practices, only in the inclusion of resources specified in the corresponding section, both for the theoretical and practical development of the subject.
The tutorials are carried out virtually through various virtual tools recommended by the institution on the PLATEA platform and on Google Meet to respond to the situation caused by COVID-19.

Changes in training activities
The activities contemplated in the original teaching guide were:
A01 - Exhibition classes in large group
MA01 - Master classes, introductory activities, conferences, etc.
A02 - Classes in practice groups
MA02 - Practical activities, seminars, debates, laboratories, solving exercises, exhibitions, etc.
There will be no substantial modification in the expository classes, only an adaptation of the resource used for its development (video conference through the Google Meet resource for the UJA), video conference instead of the classroom class.
In the practices, the usual procedure, group work, resolution of exercises and presentations have been continued. Only the practical classes in the computer room have been affected by the analysis of data with specific programs for its calculation, supplemented by other resources that have been described.
The virtual teaching platform PLATEA and Google Meet will be used for synchronous activities and email, forums and virtual tutoring, individual and group, for asynchronous activities.
The proportion and weight of the practices in the evaluation system, the weight of the practical work is increased up to 40%, 50% to the examination of the contents and 10% for the attendance and participation, following the indications received from the institution (exam content with a maximum recommended value of 50%).

Changes in the evaluation system
The evaluation system of the subject will only be modified in the proportion assigned to each of the parts of the subject (exam 50%, practical work 40%, attendance and participation 10%). The same evaluation criteria are maintained, the learning results that are requested of the students and the evaluation instruments are the same (practical group work and examination of theoretical and practical knowledge of the subject.

The supervision of the process of elaboration of group work dynamized by a formative evaluation (continuous) with feedback from the teaching staff and preparation-presentation of the work of initiation to group research: it will have 40% of the total value, the weight of the examination of the subject You will have 50% through a synchronous online examination of objective questions and practical application of the content; and attendance and active participation up to 10%.
Only the type of exam will be modified, taking place in electronic format "online" through an examination of theoretical and practical objective questions, prepared and through the resources of the virtual teaching platform "PLATEA" of the UJA or google virtual teaching resources only for the RIUJA network community (Google forms [google forms]).
These changes will affect both the students of the Social Education Degree, as well as the ERASMUS or international mobility students who take the PATIE Program in this area.
As specified in the other aspects of the evaluation (criteria, instruments, etc.), they are not modified from the aspects contemplated in the original Guide, except for the indicated aspects of the weight or proportion that have been modified.

Temporalization
The established times, the distribution and sequencing of the contents of the Guide are maintained in the development of the subject.
Only, some dates of the realization of some practices have been modified since they could not be done in person.
In the same way, the exhibition of practical work in groups, can be done, but not in person but in a virtual way "online", being necessary to deliver the work in electronic format instead of "paper" as established.

All the dates and deadlines established for the delivery of the practical work are maintained, as well as for the official examinations of the subject.

Resources and infrastructure
For the correct development of the subject, it has been necessary to use various resources not covered in the original Guide to the subject, the vast majority of which are technological, since what has been promoted is the use of technology within the reach of teachers (video -tutorials, large group teaching with video-conferencing with Google Meet, Video conferencing tutoring, documentation in electronic format, etc.).
In addition, all the other teaching resources that were contemplated in the subject have been used and that this teacher usually uses on a regular basis (use of the ILIAS Platform, ILIAS Chat, Subject Forum on the ILIAS platform, Slides, Groups of Practices, Academic Activities Directed with sending by the platform, links, etc.).
It has also been necessary to inform students of the usefulness of books, electronic resources and magazines in electronic format that are available to them at the UJA Library (BUJA), as well as access to the Databases subscribed by the UJA . In addition, these aspects mentioned are specific contents of this matter, paying greater attention and space given the special circumstances.
