Teaching Methods
The teaching sessions are of a face-to-face theoretical-practical nature, using the following teaching-learning methodologies:
• Expository, framing of topics and ontological construction of language associated with this specific area of learning.
• Participatory, through the promotion of dialogue, exposition of ideas and opinions.
• Active, with exercises and case studies, discussion and oral presentation and other activities in the classroom.
• Engaging, with contact with information systems and support tools, but also with managers and professionals in the area.
The work in the classroom will involve thematic seminars and round tables (in this case with the support of digital communication platforms, to facilitate the participation of professionals), indicative readings and analysis of the texts, construction of a collective glossary and application of knowledge through quizzes, case studies and exercises.
