Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The teaching/learning activities consist of theoretical and theoretical-practical classes. Group work will also be carried out with a view to the pedagogical practice of guiding physical activities in the context of Exercise and Health. The pedagogical methodology is of an interactive nature, promoting learning through a shared approach to problems. In addition, several classes are used for supervised Pedagogical Practice at the level of carrying out personalized training and exercise programs for special populations. Content and support material are made available to students through the interactive moodle platform. The evaluation of the UC will be carried out through the evaluation of the supervised pedagogical practice, being evaluated in the lesson plans and reports. The assessment will also include written tests.
The Teaching and Learning Classification (CEA) will be obtained periodically with 3 evaluation moments: CEA= 30% M1 + 45% M2 + 25%M3
