Innovation in People Management

Teaching Methodologies

The teaching methodologies to be used will combine theoretical teaching in the approach to the themes, with practical application through
examples that illustrate them, practical cases for analysis and discussion, individual and group exercises to encourage active participation.
Whenever possible, students will be presented with challenges (Problem-based learning) that correspond to real business problems, for
which they must find the best solutions within a defined timeframe, with monitoring and feedback from the teacher, which will be timely and
learning-oriented, with a view to a process of continuous improvement and innovative solutions.
Audiovisual and digital media will be used to present the content in order to create interactivity and participation.
The teaching methods to be used will be: expository, interrogative and case studies, making it possible to reconcile the presentation and
analysis of concepts and theoretical approaches with active methodologies for student interaction, allowing confirmation of the content
learned with a strong approximation to real current organizational contexts.
Tools that facilitate learning and stimulate students will be used, making use of educational technology such as Kahoot, Socrative and
Mentimeter, among others.
