Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
Interactive exposition, associating the expository method with active techniques, such as demonstrations of the content covered, application and understanding exercises. The interactive exposition is also accompanied by questioning, seeking for the student to pose hypotheses, resolve contradictions, argue and communicate their point of view, doubts/issues. In the practical component, the method is essentially active, using the elaboration of a qualitative research project as a source of learning (Project-Based Learning). Learning is guided by the tasks they have to perform, simultaneously requiring them to apply the content covered but also to develop skills in collecting, analyzing and integrating information, working in groups.
