Teaching Methods

From an isomorphic training perspective, the aim is to provide trainees with pedagogical experiences that they can use in their classes. Participatory pedagogical models are favored, so trainees will be invited to share problems from their teaching practice and to reflect in dialogical interaction with their colleagues, mediated by the trainers. There will also be expository moments using digital resources to introduce content and synthesis. Real cases will be analyzed and there will be cooperative planning of classroom interventions to be developed by the trainees.

Assessment

The assessment of the trainees' performance is qualitative, resulting in a final mention of successful or unsuccessful.
Success depends on the cumulative fulfillment of four conditions:
1. Attendance at sessions (maximum of 2 absences from face-to-face or synchronous distance sessions);
2. Active participation in the sessions ( completing the proposed tasks)
3. Answering a questionnaire about conceptions and practices of inclusion, applied twice, at the first and last sessions;
4. Completion of an anonymous evaluation survey about the training.
