Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Theoretical Sessions - expository and interrogative methods are applied in presenting the main concepts and objectives by programmatic area. Presentations of examples/clinical cases that illustrate the various strategies studied are also frequent. These options allow interaction with students through spontaneous questions during the lecture, reflection questions, and large group discussions of the topics covered.
Theoretical-Practical sessions active learning activities are prioritized, including collaborative work and exercises in contact sessions (training intervention techniques through role-play and classroom simulation) and learning based on real situations (presentation of clinical cases).
Evaluation:
Written tests, in-class activities with presentation and group discussion and group assignments with oral presentation and discussion
