Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria In this Curricular Unit (CU) we will carry out theoretical-practical sessions combining the expository method with the application of pedagogical practices that promote autonomous work and the active participation of students in the teaching-learning process.
To this end, we will resort to the exposure of content and exploration of documents/videos, with a view to developing skills in critical analysis of educational policies. Additionally, individual and/or group tasks will be carried out with a view to consolidating and deepening the syllabus of the CU (namely through the preparation and/or continuation of the work developed in classes), as well as tutorial monitoring to support learning
Language Portuguese. Tutorial support is available in English.
