Teaching Methods

The syllabus will be discussed in a perspective of interpretation of models of psychological intervention in the educational processes, seeking to find a permanent link between the bases of psychology and its framing on Education Sciences.
The classes are organized in two types: theoretical lessons to expose the syllabus, looking for an active student's intervention in this process and theoretical-practical lessons based on the analysis, discussion and reflection of practical situations that relate the Psychology of the Educational Processes with the models of intervention in Ed. Sc. These classes will also be dedicated to realize and present work.
The evaluation will consist in making a written test and group work. The written test covers all subjects and is previously delivered to students (the students have three months for the preparation of responses). The work group focuses on a dynamic teaching-learning process and further development of a proposal of intervention.
