• MetodologiaMethodology

  This course seeks to use active teaching methodologies to facilitate the acquisition of knowledge directed to practice, aiming to integrate problem-solving, discussion of ideas and project development in educational practices. Reflection on the theoretical-practical work and the practical work carried out fits in with the methodological guidelines of the curricular documents. The assessment integrates not only the products but also the processes, encouraging self-assessment as a process of self-regulation of teaching and learning.
