Teaching Methodologies

The methodology adopted follows the principle of integration of theoretical knowledge in practical intervention
component. Thus, the study of the specific contents of early motor behavior (kindergarten teachers) and
Expression and Motor Physical Education Motor (Teachers of the 1st CEB) will be articulated in the classroom,
the dominant practice component, including the theoretical specific content of this UC.
The content will be taught focusing on a motor experimentation, observation and analysis of behavior in tasks,
activities and games offered. It also asked the students the practical work of observing and measuring
behavior.
Using it will support the e-learning platform of the school and the documents referred for study of the syllabus.
The evaluation of this course will be run through a practical test on the content taught and the work carried out
under one of the syllabus.
Demonstration of the consistency of teaching methodologies with the objectives of the course.
