reflection on the course units´ topics and contents.Active student participation, both individually and in groups,
will be privileged. The modules that compose each course unit will be offered in the form of blended learning,
with limited classroom-based sessions scheduled at the opening of the course and online work to be carried
via e-learning platform. Objectives, programmatic contents, resources and activities, as well as the assessment
schedule, are stated in the Research Learning Contract posted on the platform.The teaching work to be carried
out will focus on the practical implementation of the approaches, principles and concepts under consideration,
facilitating the learning process through observation and reflection
