Teaching method
Students will visit one or more secondary schools, participating in the activities under development in these, interacting with teachers and students, namely by attending classes and teaching. This activity will promote a familiarization with the reality of the school and of the classroom and will be the basis for discussions and reflections on the teaching and learning of mathematics.
Evaluation method
The assessment will be continuous and based on the school experience, essentially valuing the ability to identify key points of the teachers'''' performance in the classroom, positive and not so positive aspects of classroom intervention, and possible teachers'''' alternative options. It will be based on:
- a reflective document made by the student (valuing his / her ability to reflect and to support the options taken)
- the presentation and oral discussion held around this document
- the ability to discuss reflective documents presented by colleagues.
