Teaching Methods

TP takes place full time during 13 weeks. The first 3 weeks are of participant observation, beginning full intervention at the 4rd week supported by cooperative planning.
Formative assessment supports the entire process of PES, through dialogical teaching (between students, lecturers and cooperating teachers) in institutional contexts as well as in Seminar sessions at the university. This process supports the development of the PES portfolio and the final teaching report, supported by the PES
Assessment Guidelines and other selected research tools. Interactive processes are also carried out through the moodle platform and e-mail.
Students evaluation includes; 1) observation of practice (including information provided by cooperating institution (cooperating educators; coordinator of the institution) and a learning portfolio (65%); 2) and a Teaching practice report (research of their practice) presented and discussed in a Viva (35%). Each component has a minimal rating of 10.
