Assessment system and criteria

Without prejudice to any other requirements that may be specified in the relevant course syllabus, as a general rule, failure to attend more than 70 per cent of the course’s teaching activities—which require the student’s physical or virtual presence—will result in the loss of the right to continuous assessment during the standard examination period. In this case, the examination to be held during the official period set by the University will be the sole assessment criterion, with the weighting specified in the course syllabus.

----

The final mark will be calculated as the average of the marks for each sport. In order to calculate this average, students must pass all sports with a minimum pass mark.

For each sport, the general assessment criteria will be as follows:

• CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT:

To be eligible for this type of assessment, attendance at practical classes must be at least 70 per cent, on the understanding that attendance is compulsory and essential for the best possible learning of the course content.

o Final knowledge tests (50%)

o Practical activities (30%)

o Portfolio (20%)

If a student fails any of the modules in the ordinary assessment period, they will sit the supplementary assessment for the failed modules

• NON-CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT:

All students who do not meet the attendance requirement or who opt for this type of assessment will sit a final examination in both the ordinary and supplementary examination periods, if necessary, with the following weightings:

o Theoretical component: 60%

o Practical component: 40%

It is essential to achieve at least 5 out of 10 in the practical component in order for it to be averaged with the theoretical component.

Assessment system and criteria

Without prejudice to any other requirements that may be specified in the relevant course syllabus, as a general rule, failure to attend more than 70 per cent of the course’s teaching activities—which require the student’s physical or virtual presence—will result in the loss of the right to continuous assessment during the standard examination period. In this case, the examination to be held during the official period set by the University will be the sole assessment criterion, with the weighting specified in the course syllabus.

----

Assessment system and criteria

The assessment criteria will be weighted according to the teaching and learning methodology used and the teaching workload for each component, in accordance with the following criteria:    

5%_ Class attendance

15%_ Seminar activities (TRAB)

40%_ Assessment of ‘practical’ concepts

40%_ Assessment of ‘theoretical’ concepts (sessions)

The final mark for the module will be the sum of the components, weighted accordingly, with a score of 5 out of a possible 10 considered a pass. Each and every practical and theoretical component (including class attendance and seminars) must be passed separately in order to be eligible for the final mark to be calculated; otherwise, the mark published will be the lowest of the marks obtained.

  a. Attendance. Overall attendance will be taken into account (lectures (sessions), workshops and seminars (TRAB)).

95–100 per cent _ 0.5 marks

90–95 per cent _ 0.4 marks

80–90 per cent _ 0.3 points

70–80 per cent _ 0.2 marks

60–70 per cent _ 0.1 marks

below 60% _ 0 marks and the module is therefore failed

b. Seminars (TRAB). Assessment will be based on assignments and presentations on topics proposed by the lecturer relating to the subject matter taught, aimed at broadening students’ knowledge of the course; primarily focusing on new technologies that reinforce the content covered in the lectures (Sessions). All students are required to present one or more of the assignments allocated to their group. They are obliged to present the required work in public; on occasion, the lecturer may require the presentation to be ‘uploaded’ to the portal prior to the presentation so that fellow students can study it and formulate their questions following the presentation. The TRABs are assessed at the end of the academic year, with 5% of the mark allocated to the completion of the required projects, 5% to the presentation of these projects, and 5% to responses to any questions or discussions that arise.

The TRAB will be assessed at the end of the academic year, with a final mark awarded based on the criteria explained above.

  c. Lectures (theoretical content)

Throughout the two semesters, a series of continuous assessment tests will be held on the subject matter covered up to that point.

In order for continuous assessment to be taken into account and for material to be covered through assessments or even by semester, the arithmetic mean of all continuous assessment tests (to calculate the mean, the mark for each test must be 5 or above) must be 6 or above.

If, at the end of the semester, the arithmetic mean of the continuous assessment tests is below 6, the student must sit an examination covering the entire syllabus taught during that semester in the February and/or June examination sessions.

These February and ordinary examination sessions cover the entire syllabus taught during the semester, and a pass is achieved with a numerical mark of 5 or above.

In order to be eligible for exemption from the syllabus in the first semester—either through continuous assessment by achieving an arithmetic mean of 6 or above (the average is calculated from 5 upwards), or by achieving a mark of 5 or above in the January examination—the following condition must be met: The student must have an attendance rate for the theoretical part (sessions) of 70 per cent or higher; otherwise, regardless of the marks obtained in the qualifying assessments or in the January exam, the student will fail the first semester and will be required to sit the entire module in the official ordinary examination session in May–June.

The same criteria for continuous assessment tests (same characteristics) apply during the second semester;

If, at any point during the course, a student’s attendance rate for the sessions falls below 70 per cent, none of the assessments carried out during the first semester’s continuous assessment, the final exam for the entire first semester, the second semester’s continuous assessment, or the final exam for the second semester will be taken into account. Consequently, the final mark will depend solely and exclusively on the mark obtained in the official May–June examination session for the entire module (first and second semesters).

In the case of the May–June ordinary examination session, the student must sit the examinations for both semesters separately and pass each with a mark of 5 or higher; in which case an arithmetic mean of the two marks is calculated; if one is a fail, the student does not pass the module and is awarded the lower weighted mark for the relevant part.

The official exam for the theoretical part (sessions) consists of 60 questions; regardless of their attendance rate for the course, students are entitled to sit the exam, which is passed with a numerical mark of 5 or above.

For continuous assessment tests and all multiple-choice tests, there will be a test with four options, one of which is correct; incorrect answers will result in a deduction of 0.33%.

Continuous assessment tests consist of 30 multiple-choice questions with the characteristics described above, whilst end-of-semester exams – both the standard and supplementary official sittings – consist of 60 multiple-choice questions with the same characteristics.

     d. Workshops (practical content)

Each semester, there will be two continuous assessment tests, each accounting for 10 per cent of the total mark.

In order to be eligible for the continuous assessment of practical content for each semester, students must provide evidence, using the method determined by the lecturer, that they have not been absent without valid reason from any practical session; failing this, they are not entitled to sit the continuous assessment tests and will be examined at the end of the semester. The attendance criteria for practical sessions to be taken into account are therefore as follows

In the practical component, it is not possible to pass the module solely through continuous assessment. The final exam covering all the material taught during the semester accounts for 80%.  

In all practical examinations, students must answer all the questions; if a student fails to answer any of the questions set in any of the examination sessions, it is deemed that the student is unable to deal with that clinical situation; the same applies if they obtain a score of zero for any of the questions, which is treated as an unanswered question. In such cases, the exam cannot be passed based on the marks from the remaining questions. A question scored as zero or left unanswered means that the practical exam has not been passed. This applies to all types and sittings of the practical component of the module.

Attendance at practical sessions is compulsory for 100 per cent of the sessions, and students must bring the necessary equipment – a goniometer and a tape measure – as well as white medical pyjamas and white clogs.

    *QUARTERLY AND FINAL THEORETICAL EXAMS:

 Assessment of both practical and theoretical concepts will take place via separate examinations at the end of each semester.

 Students will be required to sit the ordinary June examination session for any theoretical and/or practical components not passed during the academic year.

 Failure to pass any theoretical and/or practical component in the ordinary June examination session will result in a fail for the ENTIRE theoretical and/or practical component of the module.

For the July examination session, any theory and/or practical mark of 5 or above will be retained, and students will only be required to sit examinations on all the theoretical and/or practical content not passed in the ordinary June examination session.

Therefore, the final mark is based on a variety of elements, corresponding to all your activities and work. It is an absolute requirement to pass all the components of the module with a mark of at least 5 in order for the final average to be calculated, in both the ordinary and supplementary examination sessions.

Objectives

The objectives of the Anatomy module are as follows:

To understand the general elements that make up the macroscopic and microscopic anatomy of the human body.

To understand the factors that influence human growth and development throughout the lifespan.

To understand the general principles and theories of biology, physics and chemistry as they apply to human biology.

To establish the general theoretical foundations of human morphology and its implications for other subjects within the degree programme.

(These objectives are fundamental for future learning in subjects such as exercise physiology, sports training, sports nutrition and the assessment of physical and sporting performance.)

Description of the course content

The module will be delivered through the following learning activities, designed to enable students to acquire the required competences and achieve the intended learning outcomes:

- Lectures: These will be delivered in person or online, covering concepts related to the fundamentals of human motor function, including biological, mechanical and scientific aspects.

-Practical laboratory sessions: Conducted in small groups, with the aim of enabling students to develop the ability to work independently in problem-solving and decision-making.

-Seminars: Face-to-face sessions.

-Tutorials: Individual and group tutorials will be offered.

-Independent study: This includes self-study, e-learning (interactive via the virtual campus), literature reviews, report writing and the completion of individual and group practical work, amongst other activities.

-Assessment tests: Oral, written and practical tests will be held.

Learning activities

The teaching activities designed to enable students to acquire the intended competences during this module and to achieve the expected learning outcomes will be:

- Lectures on concepts relating to the fundamentals of human motor function: biological, mechanical, behavioural, social and scientific. (45 hours)

- Individual and group tutorials (7 hours)

- Practical sessions in laboratories or sports facilities, in small groups, enabling students to gradually develop the ability to work independently in problem-solving and decision-making. (15 hours)

- Seminars, workshops, etc. (7 hours)

- Students’ independent work, including study, e-learning (interactive distance learning via the virtual campus), literature reviews, report writing and practical work, both individually and in groups, etc. (70 hours)

- Oral, written and practical assessments (5 hours).

Assessment system and criteria

Assessment system and criteria

General attendance rule: Attendance at classes is compulsory. Unexcused absences exceeding 30 per cent per term will result in exclusion from continuous assessment. In this case, the examination held during the officially designated period will be the sole criterion for assessment.

CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT: To be eligible for continuous assessment, students must meet the attendance requirement. It will be assessed as follows:

Final assessments (60% of the final mark):

Tests will be held throughout the course (multiple-choice, short-answer questions, essay questions and/or oral examinations) to assess theoretical concepts. The type of examination will be specified prior to the examination session.

Incorrect answers in multiple-choice tests will be marked down by a factor of 1/3.

To pass these assessments, students must answer 50 per cent of the exam questions correctly, achieving a mark of 5.0.

During the term, there will be a compulsory assessment to pass the module. To pass the module, students must achieve a mark of 6 or above.

Practical activities (30% of the final mark).

Portfolio: (10%) of the final mark.

Attendance at practical classes is compulsory. More than 30 per cent of absences per term without valid reason will result in a fail for this part of the module.

The lecturer will assess the practical component on a continuous basis, taking into account attendance, student participation, assessments and the submission of assigned work. This will account for 50 per cent of the final practical mark.

At the end of each term, there will be an assessment of the practical content (multiple-choice, short-answer questions, essay questions and/or oral examinations), which will account for the remaining 50 per cent of the overall practical mark. Students must achieve a pass mark of 50% to be considered to have passed the practical component (grade of 5).

If, at the end of the term, the practical course mark is below 5, the student must sit an examination covering the entire practical course content for that term during the February examination period.

If the practical component is not passed, regardless of whether the theory has been passed or not, the published mark will be ‘NP’.

NON-CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT:

The final mark will consist of 60 per cent of the theory mark and 40 per cent of the practicals mark.

Students must meet all assessment criteria and achieve an overall mark of over 5 in each part of the module to be considered to have passed. If any part of the module is not passed, these percentages will not apply, and the mark recorded will be the lowest mark obtained.

Continuous assessment may contribute a maximum of 1 additional mark.

Addendum

Upon completing the Anatomy module, students will have acquired the following competences, which are essential to their degree programme:

General Competencies of the Degree Programme (Related to the module):

Aims

The aim of this module is to study the fundamentals, characteristics and potential of

human movement, to develop an awareness of one’s own abilities, and to learn the

ways to improve and refine them through systematic physical exercise or

gymnastic exercise.

The general objectives of the module are set out below.

- To understand the characteristics of structured physical exercise, the criteria for its classification,

specific terminology and graphical representation.

- To analyse, understand and compare the various historical milestones that have driven the need

for the systematisation of physical exercise.

- To study the mechanical aspects of body movement, analysing it from the perspectives of

the joints and muscles.

- To understand the application of exercise with the aim of developing psychophysical qualities.

- To develop ingenuity and imagination so that students, using any type of equipment, are

able to devise exercises, whilst also understanding the effects they produce.

Description of the course content

The module consists of two distinct yet complementary parts:

The first section covers the study of physical exercise and its characteristics, criteria for its

classification, specific terminology and graphical representation.

The second section focuses on understanding the mechanical aspects of movement, analysing it from the

perspectives of the joints and muscles.

The third section explains the fundamentals of physical exercise in relation to physical fitness, so that the

student can identify exercises to develop the four basic physical abilities, recognising

the effects of proper training during a session, including carrying out the correct

warm-up and cool-down.

Training Activities

The training activities designed to enable students to acquire the intended competences during this module and to achieve the expected outcomes of the work undertaken will be:

- Lectures on concepts relating to the fundamentals of human motor function: biological, mechanical, behavioural, social and scientific (15 hours).

- Individual and group tutorials (5 hours).

- Practical classes in laboratories or sports facilities, in small groups, enabling students to gradually develop the ability to work independently in problem-solving and decision-making (30 hours).

- Students’ independent work, including study, e-learning (interactive distance learning via the virtual campus), literature reviews, report writing and practical work carried out both individually and in groups, etc. (53 hours).

- Oral, written and practical assessment tests (5 hours).

Assessment system and criteria

The assessment process will be carried out taking into account the various learning outcomes. To this end,

the following assessment activities, which will enable us to determine the extent to which each of the

competencies listed.

Given the nature of the subject, which is eminently practical, and the way it is taught

, continuous assessment is the most appropriate method for evaluating the learning process

experienced by each student. Physical activities will be set on a daily basis, designed

educational in nature and requiring the student’s active participation.

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA FOR STUDENTS UNDER CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT:

▪ Assessments that follow the learning process and capture the skills

the student acquires.

▪ Assessment of reports on various practical case studies set for resolution by applying the

knowledge acquired in the various subjects.

▪ Submission of practical assignments and reports on their progress, as well as the student’s performance in

the laboratory whilst carrying out the practicals.

▪ Practical examinations covering the full range of practical training activities

carried out.

▪ Written examinations covering the full range of learning activities carried out in the classroom.

For students on the Continuous Assessment scheme, the weighting of tasks according to the above percentages

is as follows:

▪ 50% FINAL KNOWLEDGE ASSESSMENTS: theoretical knowledge tests (C.O). Multiple-choice exam

(30–40 questions) covering theoretical and practical content. There is no cut-off exam; it takes place on the

official ordinary examination session. Pass mark: 4 marks or above.

▪ 30% PRACTICAL ACTIVITIES:

or 20% of the mark: practical test and assessment sheet. Exam taken prior to the ordinary examination period. If a

fail, that part can be resat in the ordinary or extraordinary examination session. It is even possible to sit

to improve your mark. (5% is for the worksheet (SEQUENCE OF 5 ‘EIGHTS’). It must be handed in before the exam; failure to do so

means the practical must be completed on the day of the ordinary examination session).

o 10% group stretching routine (5% for the group stretching routine and 5% for the individual stretching worksheet

)

▪ 20% PORTFOLIO: Live performance marks. Submission of exercises set during practical sessions, group presentations

, transcription exercises, analyses, Kahoot quizzes completed in theory classes…

▪ Attendance at 70% of theoretical and practical classes.

Students who have achieved a pass in continuous assessment but have not passed the theory exam may

sit only that exam in the supplementary sitting; the marks relating to the

practical component will continue to be recorded as part of their continuous assessment until the supplementary sitting

of the same academic year.

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA FOR STUDENTS WHO DO NOT OPT FOR CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT:

Students who choose to opt out of continuous assessment (those who do not attend classes

, have more than 3 absences and lose their daily marks), in the ordinary January sitting and/or the

extraordinary examination session in July, their mark will be determined by the final theoretical and practical examination

for that examination period.

100 per cent of the final mark is based on a theoretical and practical examination, with the following breakdown:

It will be essential to achieve at least 5 out of 10 in the practical section in order to average this with the

theoretical part.

• Theoretical part: 60% theoretical test

• Practical part: 40%, comprising: - -

30% mark: Figure-of-eight sequence (4 figure-of-eights recorded on video, identical to the continuous assessment sequence

+ 1 individual figure-eight that does not repeat movements from the previous ones and that contains different

arm and leg patterns throughout the exercise). The student must take the exam in

appropriate attire: comfortable sportswear that allows the movements to be clearly seen, not

.

10% of the mark: Transcription of the five ‘oches’ onto a worksheet.

The publication and review of marks will be announced on the day of the exam and published under ‘notices’ on the

course portal. To avoid any issues regarding potential appeals against practical marks, the

exams will be video-recorded; if any student does not wish to be recorded, they must indicate this before the exam

and, in the event of a marks appeal, they will have to accept the lecturer’s subjective assessment.

In the event of injury, a medical certificate must be submitted to justify non-participation in the

practical part of the session. A student who is injured is not exempt from attending classes, except in exceptional cases where

express medical advice

Assessment system and criteria

Without prejudice to any other requirements that may be specified in the relevant course syllabus, as a general rule, failure to attend more than 70 per cent of the course’s teaching activities—which require the student’s physical or virtual presence—will result in the loss of the right to continuous assessment during the standard examination period. In this case, the examination to be held during the official period set by the University will be the sole assessment criterion, with the weighting specified in the course syllabus.

----

The assessment criteria will be weighted according to the teaching and learning methodology used and the teaching workload of each component, in accordance with the following criteria. The final mark in the REGULAR EXAMINATION PERIOD will be based on a range of elements corresponding to all the activities carried out by the student, provided that the student has passed both the theory and practical components independently, that is, they have achieved at least 5 out of 10 in each of these parts. Otherwise, the mark will be the lowest mark obtained. Once this condition for assessment has been met, the following criteria will be applied:

1. ASSESSMENT OF THEORETICAL CONCEPTS (75%): The assessment of theoretical concepts will be carried out as follows:

60 per cent of the mark for this section corresponds to the assessment of theoretical concepts, which will take the form of an examination on the date agreed by the Vice-Chancellor’s Office for the ordinary examination session. The questions in this examination will cover material taught both in lectures and in laboratory sessions and assignments.

One eliminatory test will be held during the semester. If the mark for this test is 6 or above, that entire section of the syllabus will be excluded from the exam in the ordinary examination period, provided that the specified mark is achieved and attendance exceeds 70 per cent.

The remaining 15 per cent corresponds to the online assessments to be held during the term.

Overall, the assessment of theoretical concepts accounts for 75% of the course mark

2. ASSESSMENT OF PRACTICAL CONCEPTS (10%): Attendance at practical classes is compulsory. Absences (whether excused or unexcused) exceeding 20% will result in a fail for this part of the course. Practical work will be assessed on a continuous basis by the lecturer, taking into account attendance, student participation and the submission of the workbook set by the lecturer. Where attendance is less than 80%, the assessment of practical work will consist of an oral practical examination before an examination board.

The practical mark accounts for 10% of the overall mark for the module

3. SEMINAR ACTIVITIES AND SOLVING CASES AND/OR TESTS SET ON THE COURSE PORTAL OR IN CLASS (15%)

The lecturer will set in-class activities to reinforce learning. Part of these activities involves completing the workbook ‘Fundamentals of the Anatomy of the Musculoskeletal System’. Assessment will be based on: completion of the proposed activities, completion of the test for each block, and completion of the additional activities set. In addition to this assessment, this material will be covered in the theory examinations.

The mark obtained in this section will account for 15% of the overall mark for the module

4. CLASS ATTENDANCE:

- Attendance at lectures and/or seminars, as well as participation in them, may increase a student’s mark by up to one mark, provided that the module has been passed and attendance is over 70 per cent.

SUPPLEMENTARY EXAMINATION SESSION

Students who have not achieved a mark of 5 out of 10 in the ordinary assessment period must sit the corresponding examination in the extraordinary assessment period, which consists of an exam assessing all the content covered in the lectures, seminars and practical sessions; the mark obtained by the student will be the mark for the exam taken.

- Practical classes (facilities, laboratory, etc.) (30 hours).

- Individual and group tutorials (5 hours).

- Assessment (6 hours).

Assessment system and criteria

Continuous assessment

This assessment will be divided into three sections.

• Final knowledge assessments (50 per cent):

- Theoretical examination

• Practical activities (30 per cent):

-Practical assessment

• Portfolio (20%):

-Practical placement diary

In order to calculate the average mark and obtain a final grade, it is essential to achieve a mark of 5 out of 10 in the final assessments. The module will be deemed passed when the total of all marks, taking into account the above criteria, is 5 or higher.

To be eligible for this assessment, students must have attended 70 per cent of all classes.

Non-continuous (final) assessment

This assessment will be marked on the basis of a theoretical and practical examination, with the following percentage breakdown by section.

• Theoretical section (60%)

• Practical section (40%)

It is essential to achieve a mark of 5 out of 10 in the practical section in order for this to be averaged with the theoretical section. The module will be considered passed when the sum of all marks, taking into account the above considerations, is 5 or higher.

Addendum

The public health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has led to the adoption of exceptional safety measures which, whilst aimed at preventing the spread of the virus, have inevitably affected the way in which teachers and students interact in the context of face-to-face teaching. This has had an impact on the standard teaching timetable, which, whilst these measures remain in force, may be subject to change, particularly affecting teaching and assessment methods.

In accordance with the provisions approved by the competent authority and in line with the agreements adopted by the governing bodies of the University and its faculties, the following sets out the extent to which teaching activities and the assessment systems and criteria for the module may be affected whilst the exceptional safety measures referred to in the previous paragraph remain in force.

Teaching activities

All teaching hours for face-to-face teaching activities will be delivered in full; however, the number of hours delivered physically in the classroom will be reduced by 40 per cent. These hours will be delivered synchronously via the virtual classroom. Classes delivered virtually will be recorded. These recordings will remain available on the course’s virtual campus to enrolled students throughout the academic year, so that they can be viewed an unlimited number of times.

Should the exceptional circumstances give rise to measures restricting individual movement, the proportion of teaching hours delivered virtually will be increased. If this becomes necessary, provision has been made for 100 per cent of the weekly teaching hours to be delivered virtually.

Assessment systems and criteria

With regard to individual or group assignments for which a public oral presentation has been planned, such presentations will take place via the University’s virtual learning platform.

Exams will be held in person in the physical classrooms designated for this purpose during the period set out in the University’s academic calendar. Only in the event that the authorities adopt mandatory measures restricting individual movement will exams be held remotely.

The amendments and provisions set out in this section are provisional and may be subject to change as determined by the academic authorities or where circumstances so require.

Objectives

The aim of this module is to equip students of Physical Activity and Sport Sciences with the knowledge and skills required to programme, analyse, design, plan, deliver and evaluate outdoor activities from a professional perspective.

Graduates in Physical Activity and Sport Sciences must be able to tackle professional challenges in a comprehensive manner within the sporting and recreational sectors, contributing to their working environment the necessary tools, resources and knowledge required to develop physical education and sports programmes, as well as specific programmes for physical and technical training in various sporting disciplines; and, in the case of mountain and outdoor activities, to act as a guide for individuals and groups on mountain trails and in mountain environments.

The general objectives set for this course are as follows:

- To analyse the opportunities offered by the natural environment for physical and sporting activities and for professional development.

- To foster cooperation amongst students and to assess the educational and social aspects involved in these activities.

- To understand and design outdoor activities that have a low environmental impact, thereby contributing to the conservation and improvement of the environment.

- To respect the environment and value it as a resource-rich setting for sporting and recreational activities.

As for the specific objectives of the module, we highlight the following:

1. To plan and evaluate sports education activities in natural and mountain environments.

2. To coach and oversee the physical preparation of athletes at basic, intermediate and advanced levels in those mountain sports disciplines in which the student has specific technical training and specialisation.

3. To manage and coordinate leisure and sports tourism programmes, provided they take place in contact with nature or in the natural environment.

4. To act as a guide for individuals and groups along trails and through natural areas, where the level of risk is low and controlled.

Prerequisites

We are all aware of the changes taking place in our society, with new fields of activity being explored. This is primarily due to our new outlook on life, one that continues to take root as time goes on.

Alfonso X el Sabio University has successfully embraced this evolution and incorporated it into its Physical Activity and Sport Sciences curriculum. We are, of course, referring to the concepts of sport, recreation and health.

Physical and Sporting Activity in the Natural Environment (AFDMN) provides the perfect framework for delivering a more comprehensive education to our students; it is a fundamental resource in teaching processes and, increasingly, a growing career option.

The day-to-day running of this module is no different from the standard procedures for other modules within the curriculum of the Faculty of Physical Activity and Sport Sciences, therefore the requirements for undertaking and completing the course content are the same as those required for the rest of the degree programme.

Activities in the Natural Environment also require a degree of adaptability to changing circumstances (weather, transport, etc.) and situations that may be unfamiliar to some students, such as spending the night outdoors, travelling through woodland and scrubland, along footpaths and in mountainous areas&#59; as well as the use of technical equipment that is often new to them and which will be essential for the smooth running of the course and for making the most of the teaching content.

As with any physical activity, it is advisable to maintain a level of physical fitness appropriate to the characteristics described, enabling students to undertake the practical component in the great outdoors without any difficulty.

Given the specific nature of the basic technical equipment used in the Activities and Sports related to the Natural Environment and in this course, Alfonso X University provides much of the necessary shared equipment, as well as all the support staff required for these practical sessions. Similarly, each student will provide the individual technical and specific equipment necessary to ensure complete safety during their training (clothing, footwear, rucksack, torch, overnight kit, etc.).

Competencies

1) C.E.48. To understand and analyse the different forms of motor skills, as well as their application to the physical and sporting context.

2) C.E.49. To gain as many motor experiences as possible, relating to motor skills and patterns.

3) C.E.50. Understand the fundamentals of physical fitness, physical abilities and their development, with a focus on both the health sector and the school setting.

4) C.E.51. To understand and apply the theoretical and practical foundations of aerobics as a music-supported fitness discipline, with a view to its potential use as a tool and method of work in the fields of education or health.

5) C.E.52. To understand the theoretical foundations of play, its application in educational and recreational settings, and its potential use as a resource for the development of physical fitness in general.

6) C.E.53. To experience, understand and develop bodily expression, using the body as a means of expression and communication with others.

Learning outcomes

The elements that can be used to assess competences in

in terms of learning outcomes will include, amongst others, the following:

- Demonstrating sufficient knowledge of the various content blocks

content covered by answering theoretical questions.

- Carrying out assignments that apply the concepts covered in class.

Applying, through practical scenarios, what is

is covered in class at a theoretical level.

- Reproduce the technical models developed in class, with a

execution.

- Design learning situations based on the context and the

characteristics of the target group.

In this module, particular emphasis will be placed on the process of continuous assessment, in which we expect the student to take the lead, and for their work, attitude and participation to be the investment that yields the expected and satisfactory results.

The extensive practical content and the high number of hours devoted to hands-on experience and the experiential development of the subject matter will require a commitment from both students and teaching staff, which must result in the achievement of the set objectives in an active and meaningful way, in a manner that is enduring and useful for the subsequent professional development of our students.

The assessment of these processes is described in percentage and numerical terms in the previous sections, but the educational value of the teaching-learning process will be reflected in each of the steps or procedures we undertake within each content block or teaching unit.

Description of the content

The content is organised into nine topics, following a plan and a temporal and spatial sequence which we shall endeavour to adhere to at all times. It may be necessary to make some adjustments to accommodate the dates of practical placements scheduled outside the University. Such dates or changes will always be notified well in advance.

Topic 1. – New spaces and sporting activities. Hiking

Topic 2. – Mountain orienteering and the sport of orienteering

Topic 3. – Risk management in mountain activities

Topic 4. – Climbing and abseiling. Essential equipment

Topic 5. – Designing Activities in the Natural Environment

Topic 6. – Landscape interpretation

Topic 7. – Games and Challenge and Adventure Activities

Topic 8. – Clothing, footwear and equipment

Topic 9. - First Aid in the Mountains

The content will be adapted to suit the group’s needs and the progression of the teaching and learning process.

Training activities

The training activities designed to enable students to acquire the intended competences during this module and to achieve the expected outcomes of the work undertaken will be:

1) Lectures on concepts relating to the fundamentals of human motor skills: sports, games, dance, physical expression, etc. (15 hours).

2) Practical sessions in laboratories or sports facilities, in small groups, enabling students to gradually develop the ability to work independently in problem-solving and decision-making (30 hours).

3) Individual and group tutorials (5 hours).

4) Students’ independent work, including study, e-learning (interactive distance learning via the virtual campus), literature reviews, report writing and practical work carried out both individually and in groups, etc. (53 hours).

5) Oral, written and practical assessments (5 hours).

Details of the training activities:

The teaching activities and pedagogical methods will be varied, aiming to adapt as closely as possible to the characteristics of the students and the group; they will foster the ability to learn independently and to work in teams, whilst promoting creativity and dynamism.

We will encourage an active methodology that involves all students, reinforcing meaningful learning. Working groups will be established to improve organisation and to differentiate the role of each student. Personalised attention and group cohesion should foster a positive atmosphere in the classroom and throughout the programme.

To facilitate following the classroom presentations, where possible, the theoretical content will be covered using an outline from a bibliographic source accessible to all and provided in the supporting documentation; however, it is recommended that students prepare and study their own notes.

Should any student be unable to undertake a practical component of the module due to any issue, they are expected to contact the lecturer as soon as possible and provide a valid reason.

Assessment system and criteria

Without prejudice to any other requirements that may be set out in the relevant course syllabus, as a general rule, failure to attend more than 70 per cent of the course’s teaching activities requiring the student’s physical presence will result in the loss of the right to continuous assessment during the standard examination period. In this case, the examination to be held during the official period set by the University will be the sole assessment criterion, with the weighting specified in the course syllabus.

Assessment is regarded as a tool for monitoring the educational process, affecting students, lecturers and the teaching-learning process alike.

Students may opt for the Continuous Assessment system, which is structured in three blocks, in line with the general organisation of the degree programme, allowing the module to be studied progressively. This approach combines theoretical study with the monitoring of practical work and individual assignments. The final mark will be allocated according to the following percentages:

1. Final knowledge assessments (50%)

A written examination will be held at the end of the teaching period to assess the theoretical foundations required for the analysis and development of physical activities in the natural environment. A minimum mark of 5 out of 10 must be obtained in order for this to be included in the overall average with the other sections.

• Final theory exam on the core content of the module.

2. Practical activities (30%)

This section covers the practical evidence of students’ learning.

Active participation in face-to-face practical sessions in a natural environment (Sierra de Guadarrama), with continuous assessment through individual and group practical exercises related to the content covered. On the final day of activities, a practical test will be held in which students must demonstrate mastery of techniques such as navigation (map, compass, GPS), climbing, rope progression, first aid, group guiding, knots and appropriate clothing.

Attendance at the face-to-face practical sessions is compulsory. Only absences justified on duly documented medical grounds will be accepted. In such cases, the lecturer may require students to complete a substitute assignment.

3. Portfolio (20%)

The portfolio will showcase the student’s independent work and their use of ICT in relation to the course. Creativity, originality and the ability to apply the course content in a digital format will be assessed.

• Group production of an audiovisual project (video or other digital format) related to physical activities in the natural environment.

• The project must include a technical specification listing the authors, content, tools used, music, design and bibliography.

• The deadline for submission is before the final exam.

Attendance requirement: Failure to attend more than 30% of the teaching activities requiring physical presence will result in the loss of the right to continuous assessment. In this case, the student must opt for non-continuous assessment.

Non-continuous (final) assessment

Students who do not undertake continuous assessment must sit a final theoretical and practical examination, which will account for 100 per cent of the mark. This examination will take place during the official examination period set by the University.

• Theoretical section (60%): Written assessment of the course’s theoretical content.

• Practical component (40%): Demonstration of the practical skills acquired.

It is essential to achieve at least 5 out of 10 in the practical component in order for it to be averaged with the theoretical component.

Objectives

The objectives of the Physiology module are as follows:

To understand the general elements that constitute human physiological functions, at both the cellular and systemic levels.

To analyse the factors that influence human physiological responses and adaptations throughout the lifespan.

To understand the general principles and theories of biology, physics and chemistry as they apply to the functioning of the human body.

To establish the general theoretical foundations of physiological processes and their relevance to other subjects within the degree programme.

These objectives are fundamental to laying the foundations for future learning in subjects related to exercise physiology, sports training, sports nutrition and the assessment of physical and sporting performance.

Learning activities

The module will be delivered through the following teaching activities, which aim to enable students to acquire the required competences and achieve the expected learning outcomes:

- Lectures (45 hours):

Lectures (face-to-face or online) will be delivered to address concepts related to the fundamentals of human motor function: biological, mechanical and scientific.

These lectures will cover the physiological responses and adaptations the body undergoes in response to acute physical exercise and chronic training.

Cardiovascular, respiratory, haematological, endocrine and neuromuscular responses and adaptations will be studied.

The body’s specific responses and adaptations to exercise will also be analysed in relation to gender, level of biological maturity, environmental conditions and the presence or absence of medical conditions.

The various parameters related to physical performance and the quantification of physical abilities will be addressed.

-Seminars (7 hours):

Face-to-face seminars will be held to explore the theoretical and practical content in greater depth.

-Laboratory sessions (15 hours):

Practical laboratory sessions will be held in small groups, enabling students to develop autonomy in problem-solving and decision-making.

Students will undertake assignments applying the concepts covered in class and will apply theory to real-life situations through practical case studies.

-Independent study (70 hours):

This includes independent study, interactive e-learning on the virtual campus, literature reviews, report writing, and individual and group practical work.

Students will be encouraged to explore any topic independently through research and personal work, as well as the appropriate use of ICT.

- Various types of assessment (5 hours).

Assessment system and criteria

General attendance rule: Attendance at classes is compulsory. Unexcused absences exceeding 30 per cent per term will result in exclusion from continuous assessment. In this case, the examination held during the officially designated period will be the sole criterion for assessment.

CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT: To be eligible for continuous assessment, students must meet the attendance requirement. It will be assessed as follows:

Final assessments (60% of the final mark):

Tests will be held throughout the course (multiple-choice, short-answer questions, essay questions and/or oral examinations) to assess theoretical concepts. The type of examination will be specified prior to the examination session.

Incorrect answers in multiple-choice tests will be marked down by a factor of 1/3.

To pass these assessments, students must answer 50 per cent of the exam questions correctly, achieving a mark of 5.0.

Two eliminatory assessments will be held during the term. To pass the module, students must achieve a mark of 6 or above.

Practical activities (30% of the final mark).

Portfolio: (10%) of the final mark.

Attendance at practical classes is compulsory. More than 30 per cent of unexcused absences per term will result in a fail for this part of the module.

The lecturer will assess the practical component on a continuous basis, taking into account attendance, student participation, assessments and the submission of assigned work. This will account for 50 per cent of the final practical mark.

At the end of each term, there will be an assessment of the practical content (multiple-choice, short-answer questions, essay questions and/or oral examinations), which will account for the remaining 50 per cent of the overall practical mark. Students must achieve a pass mark of 50% to be considered to have passed the practical component (grade of 5).

If, at the end of the term, the practical course mark is below 5, the student must sit an examination covering the entire practical course material for that term during the February examination period.

If the practicals are not passed, regardless of whether the theory has been passed or not, the published mark will be ‘NP’.

FINAL GRADE (GENERAL CRITERIA):

The final mark will consist of 60 per cent of the theory mark and 40 per cent of the practicals mark.

Students must meet all assessment criteria and achieve an overall mark of more than 5 in each part of the module to be considered to have passed. If any part of the module is not passed, these percentages will not apply, and the mark recorded will be the lowest mark obtained.

Continuous assessment may contribute a maximum of 1 additional mark.

Addendum

Upon completion of the Human Physiology module, students will have acquired the following competences:

To know and understand the physiological responses and adaptations that the body undergoes when subjected to sessions of acute physical exercise and periods of chronic training.

To study the cardiovascular, respiratory, haematological, endocrine and neuromuscular responses and adaptations.

To study the body’s specific responses and adaptations to exercise in relation to gender, degree of biological maturity, environmental conditions and the presence or absence of pathology.

To understand the various parameters related to physical performance and the quantification of physical abilities.

To recognise and understand the physiological and biomechanical factors that influence the practice of physical activity and sport.

To understand the effects of physical exercise on the structure and function of the human body.

To acquire basic scientific knowledge applied to physical activity and sport in their various forms.

Assessment system and criteria

Without prejudice to any other requirements that may be specified in the relevant course syllabus, as a general rule, failure to attend more than 70 per cent of the course’s teaching activities—which require the student’s physical or virtual presence—will result in the loss of the right to continuous assessment during the standard examination period. In this case, the examination to be held during the official period set by the University will be the sole assessment criterion, with the corresponding weighting as specified in the course syllabus.

----

The assessment of this module will take into account the following components and their corresponding marks:

• Final exam on concepts covered in ‘lecture sessions’, 70%

• Assessment of ‘practical’ concepts, 15%

• Multiple-choice tests on the content of the lectures (self-assessments), 5%

• Activities in seminar sessions, 10%: (quiz, 5%; oral presentations and/or project presentations, 5%)

The final mark for the module will be calculated by adding together the weighted percentages, with a score of 5 out of a possible 10 points being considered a pass, provided that at least the ‘practical’ component and the ‘lecture sessions’ component are both passed independently. Should any of these components fail, the mark will be that of the failed component (no averages will be calculated across the components).

PRACTICAL SECTION:

Attendance at practical laboratory sessions is COMPULSORY. Failure to attend any of the practical sessions will result in a ‘NOT PRESENTED’ mark in the ordinary assessment period, regardless of the marks achieved in the other assessed components of the module.

Assessment of ‘practical’ concepts will take place via an exam at the end of the practical sessions. Completion of the Practical Workbook during the practical sessions will be assessed. Furthermore, the ‘portfolio’ will consist of the LB assignments uploaded to the virtual campus for each session; these will be marked on a scale of 5 to 10, with a minimum of 5 points required to pass.

THEORETICAL PART:

The assessment of ‘lecture sessions’ will take the form of an exam at the end of the term. This exam, held during the main examination period, will consist of multiple-choice questions covering theoretical aspects and/or problems. One assessment test will be held during the term. If a mark of 5 or above is achieved in this test, the content covered in that section will not need to be studied for the final exam; consequently, these students will only be required to sit the final exam on the material taught from the time of the assessment until the end of the term. If the student does not pass the module, they must sit the final exam covering all the content taught during the term.

In those parts of the course involving oral presentations or the submission of assignments, the following aspects will be assessed (provided the work is submitted on time):

• Explanation of concepts.

• References consulted.

• Quality and presentation methods.

• Adherence to the time limit and/or length of the written assignment.

• Compliance with the specific requirements for the assignment or presentation: original content, participation of group members, etc.

In the EXTRAORDINARY EXAMINATION SESSION, students must also have passed both the practical and theoretical components. As in the Ordinary Examination Session, the relevant weightings will apply in the Extraordinary Examination Session provided that a mark of 5 out of 10 or higher has been achieved in both parts.

Assessment system and criteria

Without prejudice to any other requirements that may be specified in the relevant course syllabus, as a general rule, failure to attend more than 70 per cent of the course’s teaching activities—which require the student’s physical or virtual presence—will result in the loss of the right to continuous assessment during the standard examination period. In this case, the examination to be held during the official period set by the University will be the sole assessment criterion, with the weighting specified in the course syllabus.

----

To pass the module, students must:

1-Have completed the practical work set out in the seminars.

2-Achieve a mark higher than 5 in each part of the module.

3- Achieve a mark of five or above by adding together the percentages set out below:

- Continuous assessment:

Students may pass the module in blocks (2 exams accounting for 60% of the final mark).

The remaining 30 per cent may be obtained through activities carried out in the seminars and in the exercises set by the lecturer, together with 10 per cent from the UAX SKILL SCHOOL. This assessment takes into account the following competences: C1, C2, C4, C5, C6, C7, C8, C9, C10, C11, C12, C13, C14.

(If a student fails the first module, they will have to sit an exam covering both parts in the second module).

EXAMINATION FORMAT

- The exams will consist of random multiple-choice questions with answer options; correct answers are worth 1 mark, whilst incorrect answers result in a deduction of 1/3 of a mark.

- Seminars: these will consist of written exercises on the topics covered, psychodramas, group dynamics, debates and individual exercises.

* Each instance of non-attendance will result in the deduction of the applicable percentage.

Students who do not pass the module through continuous assessment will have the following official examination sessions:

- Ordinary June sitting:

Assessment of the entire syllabus via a multiple-choice exam; correct answers are worth 1 point and incorrect answers result in a deduction of 1/3 of a point.

This exam will cover the entire syllabus for the course.

- July resit:

This will be a multiple-choice exam; correct answers are worth 1 mark and incorrect answers result in a deduction of 1/3 of a mark.

This exam will account for 100 per cent of the course mark.
