The teaching methodologies favour mixed teaching models, specifically expository, collaborative and critical. Classes will be theoretical and practical, including theoretical and conceptual grounding, reading and analysing scientific articles and excerpts from reference works, analysing case studies and debate. Collaborative work will be carried out in small and large groups, with active and critical participation by the master's students. Individual work involves critically analysing texts and videos on topics relevant to the content and preparing a reflective portfolio; group activities focus on case studies.
