Teaching method
Diverse teaching methodologies will combine oral exposure of relevant issues in the field under study, dialogue and argumentation around scientific themes, the research and analysis of information relevant to the deepening of educational issues.
To this end, students are invited to participate early actively in classroom sessions through prior preparation of the issues and in moments of collective debate and reflection; individual exposure (oral and written) of research problems is also encouraged.
A Learning Management System (MOODLE FCTUNL - https://moodle.fct.unl.pt/course/index.php?categoryid=484) will be extensively used as well as various digital content.
Evaluation method
The evaluation of the course will be continuous and will take into consideration the following elements: attendance and class participation, performance on all tasks, presentation of work in class, quality of the final work.
As a fundamental resource, a systematic use of the Learning Management system MOODLE FCTUNL will be used.
As a global strategy to implement this methodology students will build and present a (digital or not) portfolio.
