Teaching Methods
The methodologies promote the students' participation in the accomplishment of tasks of different nature, through the debate, the reasoned criticism and the reflexive intervention, simultaneously contributing to the consolidation of their knowledge and respective mobilization.
The students are asked to perform individual or small group work and participate in discussions and debates that are articulated with expository moments of framing and systematization of the themes, always seeking to establish multiple relationships with the different dimensions of evaluation and links between educational theory and practice, based on the students professional experiences and on specific documents.
The evaluation is based on 2 main elements: (i) participation in the discussions (20%), and (ii) production of a written document (60%), based on norms agreed with the doctoral students, followed by presentation in (20%).
