Teaching methodologies (including evalution)

Theoretical and practical classes are oriented towards problem solving under teachers guidance. As for the theoretical exposition, a strong interaction between concepts and their application will prevail. The transformation of concepts into work tools will be achieved by personal work. Thus, student-centered learning models are privileged. Classes will be organized in such a way as to intersect the theoretical and practical dimensions. Students will select a cluster of schools and design the strategy for developing an EP, as well as the mechanisms for its evaluation (group work). They will also elaborate an individual reflection (where they will reveal what they have learned and the main benefits that such learning may bring to their future performance. Evaluation includes: group work (50%) and individual written final work (50%).
