Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
In theoretical classes, the expository and interrogative method will be used. In practical classes, demonstrative and participatory methodologies will be used, such as: case analysis, quotation/interpretation of results of evaluation instruments, role-play, interview skills training, training in returning results in small groups, application of models from conceptualization to specific cases, among others. Continuous assessment will be carried out through: a) 2 written mini-tests on the syllabus taught in theoretical classes (test 1: children/adolescents; test 2: adults), with a quotation of 25% each. b) Group work with two components: 1. Presentation and role-play of returning results carried out in class (25%), and written document submitted in Moodle 5 days after the presentation (25%).
