Teaching Methodologies
The methodologies adopted should be based on the capacity to autonomously and colaboratively produce work as well as on the observation and educational intervention skills already acquired in a previous cycle of studies. In that sense, the methodologies strongly benefit from the students contribution in the learning process, both individualy and in group, oriented by the teacher.
The curricular unit’s content will be developed through theoretical and practical lessons, where models and theoretical concepts will be presented. Also, analysis and discussion of texts/legislation as well as practical work (if possible through internships) can be expected. Continuing Evaluation
