Teaching Methodologies

This Curricular Unit takes as its premise the involvement and active participation of students, individually and collaboratively. Thus, in addition to lectures, it will be also contemplated reading and analyzing texts of reference, selected by the teacher. Students, under the guidance of the teacher, should search, select and analyze information in order to allow the acquisition of knowledge, the debate and reflection on the topics related to the educational thought.
Students may opt for one of the two evaluation forms: Periodic assessment or Final Exam.
The periodic assessment consists of 3 elements (individual and/or in group), indicated to students in the first class. Each element has a weight in the final grade of 33.34%.
The assessment by exam is performed through individual test of knowledge (written test) (100%).
