Teaching Methods
Dialogue, reflection of practices, analysis of cases and documents are encouraged. There will be times of exposition of the teacher and times that require previous autonomous work of students.
Students will have the opportunity to participate, cooperatively, in planning and assessment of the learning. There will be available instruments for learning regulation, such as PIT and the Project Plan, and O.T. in group and/or individually. The Moodle platform, and the video will be used as resources.
The continuous assessment regime involves a learning portfolio, which content integrates differentiated tasks, to be negotiate, carried out autonomously, individually and in groups, (60%) and the communication to of one of the products of the portfolio, carried out in groups, based on a research project (40%).
The final assessment regime involves the construction of a portfolio, whose content focuses on all the contents of the UC program (100%)
