Teaching Methods

The curricular unit is of a theoretical-practical nature. The methodologies are fundamentally based on the cognitive theories of learning: the relationship between the new and the acquired (Piaget), with systematization (Bruner) and the transfer to new, identical situations (Ausubal).
An attempt will be made to use a suitable methodology for the purposes and objectives proposed, through a theoretical-practical approach using exposure and active intervention by students. The teaching and learning methodology will also favor the promotion of contexts that allow the adoption of an investigative attitude, based on the critical analysis of relevant educational research. Students will also be encouraged to participate in small practical experiences of verbal and non-verbal communication. We will use educational technology that will support multiple investigative activities, including the evaluation of video and image recordings.
