• MetodologiaMethodology

  Theoretical-practical classes adopting active methods: discussion, analysis of issues, and project-based learning methodology. Classes will seek to encourage student involvement and active participation to facilitate the acquisition of practical knowledge. This methodology will also allow students to experience the teaching-learning process and the educational content and materials developed through individual and collaborative work. The assessment covers not only products but also processes, encouraging self-assessment, such as the process of self-regulation of teaching and learning.
