Teaching Methods
The classes will involve expository methodologies, reflection and dialogue activities based on documents. The aim is to develop a close relation between the theoretical contents and their implications for research and practice in inclusive education. This practical work operationalizes the continuous evaluation process.
Evaluation takes place through continuous evaluation or final evaluation. Students who choose the continuous evaluation carry out a practical work on: (1) career development in pre-school and basic education, (2) development of an individual transition plan. The final evaluation consists of a written test, covering all the subjects taught.
Classes are mandatory (minimum attendance of 75%).
