Teaching Methods

Pedagogical methodologies privilege the active participation of students in the co-construction of knowledge, through diverse strategies, such as debate, analysis of reported or experienced situations, reflection and reasoned criticism, in moments of individual work and collaborative work. Different resources (documents, videos, technological applications and direct observation) are mobilized to support learning situations - based on research, projects, problems. Study visits are carried out to different contexts (libraries, baby libraries, bookstores, museums) that contribute to the diversification of learning experiences and a greater enrichment of training. The teaching and learning process is mediated by assessment with regulatory functions, facilitating autonomy and self-regulation of learning.
