Problem-Based Learning (PBL): Students are presented with challenging, real-world problems, where they must work in groups to investigate, analyze, and solve the posed questions. This methodology encourages critical thinking, collaboration and the search for solutions. Cooperative Learning: Students work in small groups to solve problems or complete assignments. This methodology encourages cooperation, communication and the development of social skills, while promoting peer learning. Concept and Mind Maps: Students create diagrams that visually represent the structure and relationships between the concepts being studied. This approach helps organize information, making it easier to understand and memorize. Case Studies: Students analyze real and complex situations, seeking to identify problems, solutions and possible developments. This methodology encourages critical thinking, decision-making and the application of theoretical knowledge in practical contexts.
