Teaching Methods
Practical work in large group, individual and small groups. Privileging an active learning perspective the work in small groups in the theoretical component can resort to audio-visual materials.
In the racial sessions, globalizing experiences of expressive-creative and artistic-therapeutic techniques adapted from the techniques most used in drama therapy will be carried out. Whenever possible, micro-teaching techniques and simulated practice will be used with feedback of intervention-investigation practice.
Continuous assessment:
-Group work on a topic relevant to the U.C, which should involve the realization of a group dynamic (40%);
-Individual portfolio of works carried out at the U.C. including experiences from expression workshops (40%);
-Commitment and quality of participation in classes including self-assessment form (20%)
Examination:
-Written test (40%);
-Proposal of intervention in a specific context, presented in a written and oral format (60%)
