Didactics of Natural Sciences

• ApresentaçãoPresentation

  The purpose of this UC is the development of skills in various areas of knowledge in effective articulation with the knowledge and exploration of methodologies, strategies and activities for the teaching and learning process in the context of the Natural Sciences. This situation will allow, in an integrated way, the planning, design, and application of various teaching resources in order to build knowledge about the science which will allow the possibility of further studies to access the teaching.
