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.
