Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The typology of this classes is theoretical-practical, combining exposure to research, discussion, viewing and analyzing videos and conducting practical classes that seek to develop knowledge and skills at an experiential and pedagogical level. It is intended to create an applied learning environment, so the most theoretical content will be presented using practical and concrete examples in the scope of training and research in alpine skiing, encouraging student participation, promoting debate and reflection by them. An exploratory teaching-learning process will also be sought, with analysis and reflection of the supporting bibliography of the various contents covered. In addition to the above, there will be classes that will have a large component of pedagogical practice by students with regard to the organization and management of the training process in learning contexts.
