Teaching Methods

Pedagogical methodologies privilege the active participation of students in the co-construction of knowledge, through diverse strategies, such as debate, analysis of experienced situations, reflection and reasoned criticism, in moments of collaborative work. The project work methodology will focus on guiding the design of projects, planning and educational actions to be developed by students. Direct observation, cooperative reflection and analysis of ongoing projects are developed with a view to progressing project implementation. The teaching and learning process is mediated by assessment with regulatory functions, facilitating autonomy and self-regulation of learning.
