Such a strategy of teaching / learning aims to develop in students the ability to solve problems within their area of study, and to constitute and substantiate their arguments.
Teaching Methodologies (Including Evaluation):
Lectures of expositive nature Practical analytical work of a plac3/space (points 1 and 2 of the program) Written test (program point 3) The evaluation will be based on the student's ability to apply the acquired knowledge and understanding, which should show a professional approach to the work developed in their vocational area
Demonstration of the Coherence between the Teaching Methodologies and the Learning Outcomes:
The nature of the points 1 and 2 is mainly theoretical which is consistent with the type of classes; evaluation through practical work (paragraphs 1 and 2 of the program) aims at the production capacities of practical application referred to in Goals.
