Teaching Methods
Given the inherent theoretical-practical and instrumental nature of the program contents, an initially theoretical approach will be prioritized, followed by illustration with specific practical cases derived from healthcare settings. Additionally, a critical analysis of documents relevant to the Curricular Unit's theme will be conducted, and collaborative group work activities will be promoted. The primary pedagogical strategy will focus on the promotion and development of competencies predefined for this Curricular Unit, through the application of interactive methodologies that encourage active participation and foster reflective processes.
Simultaneously, tutorial support resources will be provided to offer individualized guidance to students in the learning and study process.
