Teaching Methods

Each student will be grouped in the internship specialty: early intervention, educational, or reeducative, clinical and gerontomotricity. The teaching includes internship activities (minimum 16 hours) developed at the internship institution - comprising the development of psychomotor practices guided by a psychomotricist, and theoretical-practical classes (with the specialty group or the class), privileging the exchange experience, guidance and supervision of knowledge and skills.
The evaluation includes two components that imply a positive classification (minimum 10 values) and 75% attendance. Component I (20%) includes the development of a therapeutic project for a case study (written, presented and discussed). Component II (80%) includes the student's performance as an intern considering the work done for and at the host institution (20%) and the respective report (60%). Given this UC concerns the internship, the evaluation under examination regime is only possible for component I.
