Teaching Methodologies
1. analysis, interpretation and discussion of documents, fostering reflection, sharing and stimulating critical attitudes;
2. exploration of CU contents;
3. production, implementation and evaluation of practical, laboratory and experimental activities. In the evaluation are considered the individual performance in class through attendance, punctuality, participation and motivation (15%); the preparation of individual and group documents (45%) and their implementation – communication and debate in class (40%). In the documents the structure and organization of information, work objectives, language, quality of scientific information and critical attitude are valued. Assessment by exam (100%) will be done by written and/or oral exam.
Learning Results
To develop skills in order to be capable of an articulated construction of knowledge through globalizing approaches and implementation of methodologies that privilege active learning.
To further develop knowledge, in order to meet the 2nd CEB Natural Science Programs, mobilizing them for future professional practice with children from 10 to 12 years old.
