Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
In the theoretical classes, where the subject is presented by the teacher, resources such as the projection of films and images will always be used to provide a more concrete approach to the content presented. Students will have an active role and will be invited to take on specific roles in a role-playing activity that simulates a qualification pathway at a Qualifica Centre. They may portray adult applicants, with different profiles, at a Qualifica Centre, or take on the role of a professional of Orientation, Recognition and Validation of Competences who guides the candidates through that process.
