Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
The teaching methodology takes the form of an active learning system, learning by doing, based on the knowledge previously acquired by the students and their internship experience. As the operative dimension is essential, it is realised through collective exercises and the theoretical and methodological orientation of individual investigations, which will deal with social issues with social relevance and in relation to the professional practice of social work.
