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: analysis of clinical cases, reflection on intervention strategies and techniques, adequacy and elaboration of intervention plans, role-play and training of specific intervention skills, among others. Continuous assessment will be carried out by: a) 2 written mini-tests on the syllabus taught in theoretical classes (test 1: children/adolescents; test 2: adults), quoted at 25% each. b) Group work with two components: 1.
