5.1. Methodological overview
Learning process based on…
Aimed at teaching students to learn by himself. Classes consist of theoretical and practical presentation of the contents by the teacher, interspersed with dialogue and participatory arguments on the questions, comments and curiosities that arise bidirectionally (by the teacher or students). Punctually it is devoted time to perform some tasks in small groups.
Masterly lessons method used by the teacher will be reduced to the minimum necessary for the explanation of the content difficult to understand for students. It will be under the guidance and coordination of the teacher, the student gets used to take positions critical of the information received, reasoning itself and stimulating analysis and reflection. The self-study student is essential in the learning process of the subject.
Teaching aids will rely on the use of presentations and videos, as well as the use of the blackboard.
5.2. Learning tasks
Learning planing activities used in conjunction to help students to achieve the objectives ...
1) Active learning activities (60 hours), based on:
- Masterly lessons, in order to provide the necessary basic concepts of each unit, nearly all students could reach a high level of achievement.
- Active work of the students individually or in small groups, using the bibliography and other additional information.
2) No presential learning activities (90 hours), based on:
- Autonomous work of the student outside class, necessary to contribute to development their skills and to achieve the learning outcomes of the programme.
- Possible development of a paper in small groups.
