Teaching Methods
The classes will be theoretical-practical and will include bodily experience of specific practical activities, analysis of pedagogical progressions, pedagogical practice in simulated teaching situations, and reflection on practice.
Problem-solving, research, and practical presentation of task proposals will be emphasized to promote active student participation in learning situations. It is important to note that, based on the training needs identified by students, efforts will be made to adapt the topics/content and timing accordingly.
The Moodle platform will be used as a means to support learning and as a formative assessment tool.

Assessment
The assessment will focus on the knowledge and didactic-pedagogical skills demonstrated by students in the content areas taught in the course unit.
Continuous assessment is the recommended system and will include two components:
AC1: Written assessment test (30%)
AC2: Assignments with a theoretical-practical focus (70%) (e.g., observation reports and motor skills assessments, self-assessment reports on lesson planning and delivery in some of the topics, and other tasks to be agreed upon with students).
The final assessment system consists of two components:
AF1: Written assessment test (50%)
AF2: Oral presentation and discussion of a project (50%) on a topic to be defined.
To successfully complete the course unit, students must obtain a minimum score of 10 in each component.
