Examination/Assessment III

Teaching Methodologies

Teaching methodologies integrate: description of contents; analysis and discussion of concepts and demonstration / explanation of the techniques with simulated practice among students.
The continuous evaluation is done by performing three tests. Two of them cover both theoretical and practical contents that refer to tests and measures commonly used in the examination / evaluation of the cardiovascular, pulmonary and cutaneous systems. The other will focus on the theoretical content related to the measurement and evaluation of health and health outcomes.
The success in the course is obtained by the weighted average of 30/30/40% respectively of the marks obtained in these tests. Note lower than 9.5 in any of the tests mentioned, requires the achievement of a final exam.
Review for final exam: the same format as the evidence often during times designated for (normal, feature and special) effect. The approval is obtained for the course with a score higher than or equal to 10.

Learning Results

1. Acquire the ability to describe and adjust the methods and concepts of the cardiovascular / pulmonaty and integumentary systems, as well as mastery of terminology related thereto;
Acquire knowledge, understanding and motor skills to select and perform appropriate assessment techniques or tests; Describe and identify the anatomical structures necessary to perform the addressed evaluation tests;
Acquire knowledge and understanding to interpret results of diagnostic procedures commonly used to evaluate the systems listed;
Interpret and record full and accurate test results / assessment process;
2. Identify and select measures of functioning, disability and health for physiotherapy and physiotherapy care measurement;
Identify and select measures of functioning, disability and health for physiotherapy research; Critically analyze the results of care based on outcomes and impacts achieved by the care process.
