Teaching method
At this level of development, teaching methodologies will be essentially active and focused on the interest of doctoral students. Thus, and after an initial conceptual and strategic framework, there will be space for each student, starting with his personal and professional path, to conceptualize the dialogue between the discipline and the nursing profession. This will be stimulated using conceptual analysis as well as critical analysis of contexts. The route will be subject to presentations and public discussions, as well as the formulation of a final document in the form of an article.
Evaluation method
The assessment of learning will result from the assessment of the public presentation, as well as the written document.
