Intended learning outcomes (Knowledges, skills and competencies to be developed by the students)

t is intended that at the end of this UC the student will be able to:
• Demonstrate skills to carry out a research project autonomously and in compliance with specific time targets
• Select scientific literature appropriate to the topic / problem under study.
• Critically analyze scientific literature
• Demonstrate writing skills using technical and scientific terminology.
• Prepare a scientific article or monograph.
• Demonstrate skills for public presentation of the results obtained.

Syllabus

1. Elaboration of a scientific article or monograph
1.1. Themes within the scope of Acupuncture and integration in an interdisciplinary perspective.
1.2. Theoretical knowledge and research methods appropriate to the problem under study.
1.3. Setting goals.
1.4. Bibliographic review for theoretical foundation.
1.5. Methodology and conclusions clearly specified.
1.6. Application of the concepts and methods acquired during the course and analysis of the conclusions in relation to existing knowledge and future perspectives.
2. Oral presentation and discussion of the scientific article or monograph.

Demonstration of the syllabus coherence with the UC intended learning outcomes

The integrated and progressive approach of the curricular unit's program will allow students to develop the knowledge, skills and competences set out in the objectives, ensuring consistency between the syllabus.
In this curricular unit, they acquire / deepen knowledge and understanding on the topic of the work to be developed, particularly in the context of previous studies and the research that is currently developed and also demonstrate a deep knowledge about the methodologies they used in the course of their study. work. In the public act of defending their work, students must be able to discuss the issues under study and the results obtained in the context of current knowledge and future perspectives.

Teaching methodologies

In COVID situation:
This curricular unit will be taught in a distance learning regime, using the Moodle platform, privileging asynchronous communication and using Zoom or another platform for virtual classes, or synchronous moments, weekly. Expository and discussion methodologies will be used in a large group and in small groups.
The syllabus will be made available on the Moodle platform, accompanied by a set of training activities, which are not subject to evaluation and aim to train, consolidate the acquisition of knowledge and intensify the student's reflection on the themes.

Demonstration of the teaching methodologies coherence with the curricular unit's intended learning outcomes

In COVID situation
This will be a curricular unit in which the student develops a proposal for the article that he presents orally and in the form of a poster, allowing him to develop techniques for writing and selecting scientific information applied to cases he has followed in the stages already carried out or in progress, namely in PCA III. With this learning, the student will have all the tools to contribute to the scientific development of the profession.

Assessment methodologies and evidences

In COVID situation:
Students in continuous assessment individually perform a written work (50%) developed in the form of a research article. This work is carried out in conjunction with UC PCA III, namely in the choice of the theme and dimensions of analysis. The article must be presented orally (35%) and in the form of a poster (15%), at a specific moment and in conjunction with UC PCA III. This moment is called journeys and will be in person or online as possible in the current pandemic situation.
Students who perform an exam assessment can do so by delivering a written work (100%) developed in the form of a research article to which they attach a poster and the structure of an oral communication, on the subject of the article.
The rating of the assessment instruments is expressed on a scale of 0 to 20, with the weighted value of the ratings obtained having to be equal to or greater than 10.
