Presentation
Presentation
The research seminar is constituted as a scientific work being the culmination of all the theoretical learning for the development of the dissertation. Thus, the master's students should outline the final project, knowing how to define the object, conceptual framework, population to cover, research location, methodology to be followed and its justification. The theoretical dimension developed and the practical exercises in class, as well as those requested in the final work are essential elements for theoretical and practical research.

Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
The UC uses innovative methodologies focused on the construction of the preliminary research project, promoting autonomy, critical thinking, and the articulation of theory and practice. Project-based learning (PBL), collaborative peer discussion, analysis of case studies and previous projects, as well as formative feedback throughout the process are used. The Moodle platform serves as digital support for learning, facilitating access to resources, forums, and guidance. Participation in the CeiED Researchers' Meeting is an innovative strategy for scientific integration, promoting communication skills and sharing of the research process.
