Teaching Methodologies

– Dynamization of sessions of a theoretical-practical nature, alternating moments of theoretical exposition and practical tasks performed by students following the contents covered;
– Use of the online platform, where the material resources used during the sessions will be made available, other additional documents that help students to deepen content covered in the educational context and spaces for virtual interaction.
The assessment complies with the Internal Regulations of the Escola Superior de Educação, so students can choose one of the following modalities: assessment by frequency or assessment by examination.
The exam takes place at the end of the semester, covering all the syllabus taught and summarized. It is presented in the form of a written test (without consultation).
Assessment by frequency assumes a continuous character, taking into account the quality of student participation in the programmed activities, in particular in the work sessions during classes, in addition to the results obtained with the products expressly prepared for the assessment.
Elements of evaluation are:
– A written and oral presentation of a proposal for mediation of reading a literary text for children (50%);
– A written and oral presentation of a proposal for mediation of reading a literary text for young people/adults (50%).
