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. and field trips are carried out in different contexts (natural/social environments, museums and the like, a living science center) 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, supported by instruments that facilitate autonomy and self-regulation of learning (learning guides and assessment rubrics)
Assessment
The assessment follows the UÉ assessment regime, which provides for two modalities.
Continuous evaluation
Assessment takes place throughout the semester, is integrated into teaching and learning, performing a regulatory function. The assessment of learning is carried out by carrying out at least four tasks (TA), of different nature, individual and in groups, and an integrative final task (TF), of a scientific-didactic nature, on a topic chosen by the students. , subject to presentation and discussion in the classroom. All tasks are evaluated based on criteria previously defined and shared with students.
Final Classification = 50% (TA) + 50% (TF)
Final evaluation
When students are unable to carry out continuous assessment, they take an Exam test (normal or resit) and a Final Task (TF).
Final Classification = 60% (E) + 40% (TF)
The evaluation system for student workers follows the rules set out in the RAUE
