Teaching method

The construction of the teaching profession develops within an approach that aims at promoting critical thought and reflective skills in articulation with a methodology of ´learning by doing´ in Schön´s words, without losing sight of the research dimension. Teacher training supervision is to be developed in an instructive, collaborative and reflective perspective and should lead to a reflection on the teaching process and professional and personal development open to innovation and transformation.
In class teaching

Evaluation method

Continuous evaluation in a formative and summative assessment respecting all the work done within the scope of the Supervised Teaching Practice. The percentages of evaluation are established in a meeting with school supervisors and are available in the files of intermediate evaluation (formative) and final evaluation (summative) used by external supervisors.
