According to ministerial order CIN 2134/2008, which regulates university degrees that allow professionals to practice nursing.
The acquisition of the following competences, contained in the USC Bachelor's Degree in Nursing report (2aEd.) is considered to be considered. And taking into account how they prioritize in the ANECA White Paper.
Basic
CB2: Let students know how to apply knowledge to their work professionally and possess the skills that are usually shown when defending and making arguments and solving problems within a study area.
General
CG1: be able, in the field of Nursing, to provide technical and professional health assistance appropriate to the health needs of the people they serve, in accordance with the state of development of current scientific knowledge and with the quality and safety levels established in the applicable legal and ethical standards.
CG3: know and apply the theoretical and methodological foundations and principles of Nursing.
CG17: conduct nursing care based on comprehensive health care, which involves multi-professional cooperation, process integration and community care.
Transversal
CT01: analytical and synthesis capability.
CT02: ability to organize and plan.
CT05: Troubleshooting applying critical thinking.
CT08: teamwork, multidisciplinary and multilingual.
Specific
CE01: know and identify the structure and functioning of the human body. Understand the molecular and physiological bases of cells and tissues.
2. Learning Results:
(In addition to the results strictly related to the competencies sought to be conveyed in the development of this topic).
1) Know and apply the natural and life sciences.
2) Recognizes and uses with property the terminology of common use in relation to the structure and function of the human body of application in its professional field, at the level of organs, systems and apparatus.
3) Constantly uses the acquired knowledge about the function of two different organs and systems, as well as the corresponding regulatory and control mechanisms.
4) Uses morphological and functional bases to perform an effective nursing scan.
The subject will be developed through the following general methods and techniques, which will be applied differently according to the characteristics of the subject.
- Expository teaching. Expository teaching will not be offered as it is a subject in extinction.
- Interactive teaching. For the same reason mentioned above, the following will be applied:
a) Students will be exempted from taking these interactive classes when they have already taken them and passed them in previous years.
b) Students who have not taken the interactive classes of the subject in extinction will be allowed to join the corresponding subjects of the new syllabus (although the student will remain enrolled in the subject in extinction). The seminars will consist of written group work and subsequent oral presentation by all students. In addition, there will be a debate on the contents dealt with in the subject. Analysis and resolution of practical cases/suppositions will be developed, as well as simulations or performative activities that integrate the learning of the contents of the subject.
-Tutorials: students may request individual tutorials, according to the timetable planned for this purpose in this teaching programme, in person.
Assessment will be carried out globally and continuously, in accordance with the following:
- Expository teaching: a written test in which the knowledge acquired in all the activities carried out by the students will be assessed. It represents 60% of the final mark. The test will take place in person.
- Interactive teaching (seminars):
This represents 40% of the final mark for the subject. It will consist of group work. The evaluation will be based on criteria that students will be aware of at the beginning of the seminars. In the case of practical assumptions, simulations, etc... these will represent half of the final grade of the interactive teaching, assessing individual work so that there will be a continuous assessment of each student, which will include assessment items of the following competences: CB2, CG3, CG17, CT01, CT02, CT05, CT08 and CE01.
General considerations of the assessment system:
Attendance to the interactive teaching is compulsory. Students who do not pass the interactive part of the course will not be able to pass the course in the current academic year. No new assignments or presentations will be accepted for the June/July edition.
Continuous assessment of the students' attitude, interest, participation, ability to work as a team, compliance with the established timetables, good behaviour and respect for the teaching staff, as well as for the rest of the students.
Unexcused absence in interactive teaching will result in the failure of the subject. In the case of absence due to a major cause, it must be duly justified. A document certifying the absence must be submitted to the teacher responsible for the subject as soon as possible.
In order to pass the subject, it will be necessary to have passed both the interactive and the expository teaching.
In order to pass the expository teaching, a minimum mark of five must be obtained at the first or second opportunity.
A written test may be taken at the end of the first semester. If this test is taken, those who pass will not have to take the exam at the first opportunity. Those who do not pass this test, at the first opportunity will be examined on the contents of the first and second semester, being necessary to achieve a minimum mark of 5 in each of the tests in order to pass the subject.
On the second opportunity, the assessment will consist of a single test which will be passed with a minimum mark of 5.
Students who, having passed the interactive part of the subject, fail one or both partial exams during the course, will be able to take a second opportunity to sit the exam in July, maintaining the grade obtained in the interactive teaching of the present academic year.
Students who do not take the written exam will be considered as Not Taken.
The grade obtained in the interactive teaching will be maintained in the July evaluation.
The subject has a teaching load of 9 ECTS. Each ECTS is equivalent to 25 hours, of which 16.5 correspond to the autonomous work of the students, 7.5 hours to face-to-face teaching and 1 h to tutorial.
Hours in the classroom: 36h.
Seminar schedule: 43h.
Tutorials: 9h E
valuation: 2
Hours of personal work of the student: 135h.
Daily monitoring of the activities, readings and summaries of the contents developed with the aim of concrete the contents studied in the program.
Establish links between the theoretical contents of the exhibition classrooms and the observations and interventions made in the interactive classrooms.
Follow-up of the information and materials provided to the student, with the desire to facilitate and know the different teaching scenarios and the mechanisms necessary for their correct development.
Use the Virtual Campus of the subject for the development of the activities scheduled by the faculty.
Use tutoring, either face-to-face or virtually through the Microsoft Teams tool and through the tutoring forum that is enabled on the virtual campus when the teaching scenario hinders its development.
