Methodology Explanation

Contact hours are held in the classroom, using the expository method to present the set of knowledge (with slide show support) essential to the acquisition of skills within the programmatic content.

The interrogative method serves as an auxiliary method to the expository method using techniques of argumentation, interrogation and dialogue with students.

The active method uses case studies or real problems adapted pedagogically, storms of ideas and group work, in which the application of theoretical knowledge is sought, through the analysis of concrete situations and proposals for resolution by the students.

The group work aims at the development of scientific and professional competences and the practical consolidation of the theoretical knowledge previously taught.
