Teaching method
The course will combine theoretical and practical classes, including presentation, demonstration, practical exercises, group discussion and reflection on the topics studied. Classes will favour the practical implementation of theory, interaction and students active participation both individually and in a group.
Whenever possible, the course illustrates the implementation of studied approaches, principles and concepts, through the teaching practice, thus contributing to learning through observation and reflection.
Evaluation method
Regular and pertinent contribution during classes will be subject to assessment, students will carry out theoretical and practice assignments throughout the semester (60%) and will pass a written test in class (40%).
