Description


The Final Degree Project (TFG) is a compulsory subject of 10 ECTS that consists of the elaboration, presentation and defense of a research work in the field of CAFE. The purpose of the TFG is to assess the skills acquired during the Degree and to consolidate the scientific methodology as a tool for the production of knowledge applied to the development and improvement of quality in professional practice. The student will have the direction and supervision of a director during the period that includes the subject. The student must present the TFG and make the defense publicly.

Learning outcomes


1. Apply the scientific method to the various fields of physical activity and sports sciences: methodological design, records, databases and statistical analysis.

2. Understand substantial problems in the sciences of physical activity and sport and propose hypotheses to design the empirical strategy for their theoretical demonstration, which would lead to the best resolution of the problems identified.

3. Incorporate new technologies for obtaining records and processing information and images into physical activity and sport: formulate projects that integrate the various operations.

4. Use specific English terminology related to technology, information and statistics applied to physical activity and sport: data tables, graphs, diagrams, procedures, protocols…

Working methodology


This is a part-time subject. This means that there is a% part of the subject that is done in person, in the classroom, with different activities individually or in groups of students and a% of the subject that is worked autonomously, outside of the classroom.

The methodology in part-time subjects requires the responsibility of the student, and their good time management.

The methodology of the subject will be carried out combining face-to-face classroom time, with autonomous work time, with the support of the virtual learning environment. The percentage of time the student spends is distributed as follows:

 

Activities

ECTS

Face-to-face sessions in the classroom (theory presentation, seminars, personalized tutorials)

Theoretical exhibitions with audiovisual support, application of practice to theory, presentations by students

 2

Self-employment

 

Personal study, problem solving, information searches (bibliography, webography), guided works (questionnaires, wikis, debates, forums ...)

 8

 

Both in the face-to-face sessions and in the autonomous work, the student will work individually and in work groups.

Each ECTS is equivalent to 25 hours of student dedication, considering the time invested in the total of the activities related to the face-to-face time and the time of autonomous work, that the professor of the subject guides, as well as the reading times, information search, connection to the Virtual Classroom, elaboration of works.

Contents


The contents of the subject are subject, both to the topic chosen by the student and to the type of work chosen. In any case, there will be transversal and common contents to all the TFG that will be presented in seminars. These sessions, face-to-face and / or semi-face-to-face, will include various topics related to the different phases of the TFG subject, such as the following: 

  • Operation and regulations of the TFG.
  • Information sources; Bibliographic research; Bibliographic reference managers.
  • Methodological bases for the realization of the TFG.
  • Written and oral communication of the TFG.

Learning activities


The activities of the subject follow the system of continuous evaluation, that is to say, that throughout the term the professor raises several activities, that the students must solve and deliver. The work of each one of the activities allows to value to the student, the follow-up that does to the asignatura and the elements of improvement, from the comments and notes that the professor will do of the activities.

The proposed activities are individual. The teacher gives the instructions so that the students can elaborate and deliver them. All the activities that are proposed are designed so that students have a practical perspective on the topics that are developed throughout the terms.

Evaluation system


The evaluation of the Final Degree Project is based on the assessment of the skills acquired by the students. It is a procedure of continuous and formative qualification. The basic and general competencies will be assessed, as well as the specific and transversal ones. The following table relates each evaluation activity to its weighting:

 

Evaluation activity

Weighting

Seminars (TFG Commission)

Tutorials  (Director of TFG)

10%

Initial TFG (Director of TFG)

35%

Defense of TFG (TFG Court)

25%

(The evaluator is in parentheses)

 

Minimum criteria NECESSARY to be able to average between the evaluation activities:

(The evaluator is in parentheses)

 

Only if these criteria are met will it be possible to make a weighted average between all grades. If the final grade of the TFG assigned by the tutor does not reach 5 out of 10, the student will not be able to pass the stage of the Court. The subject Final Degree Project is approved with a 5 out of 10.

 

Recovery

If the student does not pass the minimum criteria necessary to average the assessment activities, as set out in the previous paragraph, he / she will be suspended in the subject. If the mark of the Final Report assigned by the tutor does not reach 5 out of 10, the student will not be able to pass to the phase of the Court. On the other hand, it will only be possible to recover if the Final Report and / or the Defense of the TFG has been suspended, in which case only the part not passed will have to be recovered. If the qualification is Not presented, it will not be possible to opt for recovery, according to the Academic regulations for undergraduate studies from Pompeu Fabra University.
