Learning Outcomes of the Curricular Unit:
Goals of the theoretical component: 1 - Understanding the anatomical and physiological system and basic audiology and electroacoustic measurements 3 - Understanding hearing loss 4 - Understanding the linguistic, educational and occupational aspects of deafness 5 - Understanding auditory rehabilitation Goals of the practical component: 1. Interpreting audiograms 2. Identify and describe the sensory modalities that contribute to the perception and production of speech 3. Identify and describe the profiles of memory 4. Differentiate and associate communicative profiles 5. Identify and describe the linguistic aspects of hearing loss 6. Adapt the assessment process to this population 8. Develop an intervention plan 9. Identify and apply the basic principles of Auditory Training, Reading Speech Training and Speech 10. Recognize the major educational streams directed to this population 11. Structure a therapeutic plan 12. Understand the Central Auditory Processing
Syllabus:
Theoretical program: 1. Neuroanatomy and neurophysiology of the auditory system 2. Pathophysiology of hearing loss 3. Basic aspects and approaches in clinical audiology 4. Electroacoustic and electrophysiological measures of hearing 5. Characterization and clinical hearing loss 6. Auditory processing in children, adults and elderly. 7. Educational Audiology, occupational and public health 8. Deafness and language 9. Auditory rehabilitation. Practical Program: 1. Dimensions Acoustics and Speech: Implications and perceptive production of hearing loss 2. Perception of Speech; Memory profiles 3. Communicative profiles and linguistic characteristics of children with hearing loss 4. Language assessment 5. Intervention: Auditory Training, Speech Training, Reading Speech Training; 6. Perspectives and Educational Communicational: gestual, oral, bilingual 7. Central Auditory Processing
Demonstration of the Syllabus Coherence with the Curricular Unit's Objectives:
Programmatic contents (PC) in the practical component were delineated in terms of learning goals (LG) of the course: PC1,2,3,4- LG1 PC5, 6- LG2 PC7,8- LG3 PC9- LG4 Programmatic contents (PC) in the practical component were delineated in terms of learning goals (LG) of the course: PC1 -LG1 PC2 - LG2, 3 and 4 PC3- LG5 and 6 PC4- LG7 PCC5- LG 8 and 9 PC6- LG 10, 11, 12 and 13 PC7- LG14 PC1 examines the fundamental concepts associated with acoustics and dimensions of speech. PC2 focus on aspects related to the perception of speech. PC3 analyzes the communicative and linguistic profile associated with hearing loss. PCP4 examines the practical aspects related to history and assessment of speech and language in deafness. PC5 analyzes the key aspects of intervention in deafness. PC6 discusses the educational methodologies inherent to the problem of deafness. Finally in PC7 is discussed the Central Auditory Processing, as well as changes associated with it.
Teaching Methodologies (Including Evaluation):
theoretical-practical and practical: - Presentations using projections, explanations on the board, exemplifications, clinical cases on video - Summary and discussion of scientific papers - Development of small exercises to be solved in the classroom, solving problems and doubts Assessment: Normal season - Distributed Evaluation TP: 2 Written test (50% + 50%) P: 2 Written test + 1 group work (40%+40%+20%) Final Season - Examination (100%)
Demonstration of the Coherence between the Teaching Methodologies and the Learning Outcomes:
Since the course consists of lectures and practical classes, the teaching methods will use the best procedures used in this domain. Thus, the exposure of key theories and concepts of Audiology will always have the participation and critical analysis by students, accompanied by consolidation exercises. Verification of the understanding of these concepts will occur using the interrogative method. The development of knowledge and skills of this course will be done by conducting small practical assignments (eg case studies, role-play), exercises in the classroom (eg worksheets) and independent research and application of acquired skills in a real context. Additionally, studies with use of concrete cases (in video) related to the course domains will be proposed.
