Teaching Methods

The teaching/learning methodologies focus on a reflective approach, aimed at understanding the different theoretical approaches, articulated with the students' experiences and stimulating the interaction between master students and teachers aiming to promote the development of skills, through methods: expository, interrogative and active (brainstorming and panel technique, role-play, case study, debate, group work) and guided reading and analysis of scientific articles. The analysis, reflection and discussion on the application of different theories to family health nursing care will be carried out through the proposals of the master's students, emerging from practices in different contexts and duly guided by teachers.

Assessment

Assessment will be continuous and will take into account the student's active participation in the various activities proposed. For students who opt for continuous assessment, there will be two assessment moments ? Submission of a written group assignment (60%) at the end of the teaching sessions and an individual PITCH presentation in the last theoretical-practical (40%).
Students who do not obtain a grade equal to or higher than 9.5 will be subject to a final assessment based on individual written work. In accordance with the Regulations of the University of Évora, students who do not take one of the scheduled assessments will automatically be subject to the final assessment system, in accordance with the provisions of the aforementioned regulations.
