Teaching Methodologies

A participative and active methodology is developed in a way that each student or student group builds up knowledge on NFE. Classes are dynamic and integrate a wide range of information and knowledge along with critical analysis. With this methodology students will be able to develop collaborative work strategies on NFE, as a preparation laboratory for professional challenges. In a first approach theory topic are presented and discusses, as a support to real intervention on specific contexts. On a second approach these theory topics and NFE values are implemented on a social and educative intervention project based on Theater and dramatic expression. Final test: written test. Frecuency assessment: production, presentation and defence in class of an intervention project (50% of the final mark) and its presentation as a final descriptive paper (50% of the final mark); group work students’ provision is differenciable.
