Teaching Methodologies
The course includes theoretical and theoretical-practical classes. The former combines expository methodology (with multimedia support) with interrogative ones. The aim is to acquire knowledge and develop students’ capacity for critical analysis. The active methodology promotes the involvement of students in their learning process and encourages their autonomy, namely in theoretical-practical classes.
Learning Results
At the end of the semester, it is intended that students have acquired knowledge about media history and development.
They should be able to contextualize them socially, economically, politically and culturally, as well as to understand the impact of cultural products that they spread in these different dimensions. Another objective is to develop students’ capacity for critical analysis, promoting their autonomy in the perspective of what the media would become.
