Teaching method
Teaching methodologies include theoretical and theoretical-practical classes, tutorial guidance and seminars. In theoretical classes, the theoretical and legal foundations of local power will be introduced and examples of the terrain will be presented that illustrate dimensions of the participatory health planning process. In theoretical-practical classes, concepts, skills and procedures are focused, which students must apply to solve specific problems, following a problem-based learning methodology. In the tutorial orientation sessions, group work is followed, proposing specific challenges, allowing learning through research, reflection and discussion. At the seminars, interim presentations of specific components of group work will take place, with feedback from a panel.
The assessment consists of: Individual participation during classes (20%); Individual exercises (20%); Group work (20% on the oral presentation and 40% on the written report).
