  • MetodologiaMethodology
    In the curricular unit "Technology, play and the child's agency", the teaching and learning methodologies are synchronized with the pedagogical model of the institution, adopting strategies that place the student at the center of the educational process. These strategies encourage independence, critical thinking, reflection and the link between theory and practice. Students are challenged with real problems that stimulate the active search for knowledge and innovative approaches, reflecting a pedagogical model that values independent problem solving. Collaborative work is essential to strengthen the sense of community and is crucial for educational intervention. Through a critical eye, students have the opportunity to reflect on their own experiences, which is vital for professional growth and independence, pillars of a student-focused pedagogical model.
