The teaching methodologies enhance and integrate the different dimensions of the programme, linking them to the practical context of the placement. The aim is to adopt an active and dynamic methodology based on interpersonal relationships, integrating the theoretical dimensions of the programme and making use of a variety of techniques and instruments.In the first semester, teaching and learning will have a more theoretical component, focused on information provided by the institutional supervisor, on the development of the placement project, and on participation in supervision sessions. In the second semester, with the preparation of the report and the accumulation of placement experience, the goal is to foster oral and written communication skills, consolidate individual and group reflection and thinking, and strengthen argumentative capacity, with the support and contributions of both supervisory and guidance bodies.
