Teaching Methods
Theoretical sessions include student participation. Practical sessions take place in a laboratory and are aimed at groups of students for training in pediatric nursing procedures.
Non-classroom work activities involve the student's autonomous work for study and bibliographic research, prior analysis of texts with explicit guidance from the teacher.

Assessment
In the continuous assessment of the curricular unit, two written tests will be carried out, with multiple-choice questions and problem-solving questions from clinical practice and/or resolution of practical case(s), each with a weighting of 50%, consisting of multiple-choice questions and questions with problems from clinical practice; resolution of practical case(s) related to topics covered in the lecture sessions. Students must obtain a minimum grade of 9.5. The written tests will have a weighting of 80% in the final grade of the curricular unit. The student must have a minimum of 9.5 in each assessment.
The practical assessment is carried out through two tests, the grade is determined through observation grids that are previously presented to the students and are available in the MOODLE area of ??the UC.
To pass the practical component, the test must have a grade equal to or greater than 9.5. Additionally, to obtain attendance in the Course Unit, the student must have attended at least 75% of the Laboratory Practice classes taught (Article 105 - point 1 of the RAUE).
Students who do not achieve the minimum grade are subject to a final assessment, which may include:
· Theoretical Component Test and/or Practical Component Test
· Only students who have attended at least 75% of the Laboratory Practice classes have access to the final assessment test of the practical component.
To pass the Course Unit, the student must obtain a minimum grade of 9.5 in each of the assessment components.
The final grade is obtained by the weighted average of the following factors: Theoretical component assessment 80% + Laboratory practical component assessment 20%.
The assessment of laboratory practices follows the pedagogical methodology, PBL, Peyton's 4 steps and the MAES methodology.
