Methodologies Description
Oral presentation Intervention inherent to the teaching-learning processes based on verbal exposure through which students and teachers interact in an orderly way, proposing questions, making clarifications and exposing topics, works, concepts, facts or principles in a dynamic way.
Problem solving Technique by means of which a specific problematic situation has to be solved, from the knowledge that was worked on, which can have more than one possible solution.
Multiple-choice questions It is objective to formulate a question in the form of a direct question or incomplete statement, and several options or alternatives for answers that provide possible solutions, of which only one of them is valid.
ICT practicals Methodology that allows students to learn effectively, through practical activities (demonstrations, simulations, etc.) the theory of a field of knowledge, through the use of information and communication technologies. ICT is an excellent support and channel for the treatment of information and practical application of knowledge, facilitating learning and the development of skills by students.
Supervised projects Methodology designed to promote the autonomous learning of students, under the tutelage of the teacher and in varied scenarios (academic and professional). It refers primarily to learning the "how to do things". It is an option based on students taking responsibility for their own learning.
This teaching system is based on two basic elements: the independent learning of the students and the monitoring of that learning by the teacher-tutor.
Objective test Written test used for the evaluation of learning, whose distinctive outline is the possibility of determining whether or not the answers given are correct. It is a measuring instrument, elaborated rigorously, that allows to evaluate knowledge, capacities, skills, performance, aptitudes, attitudes, intelligence, etc. It is applicable for both diagnostic, formative and summative evaluation. The objective test can combine different types of questions: multiple-choice, ordering, short-answer, discrimination, complete, and/or association questions. It can also be constructed with a single type of one of these questions.
Guest lecture / keynote speech Oral exhibition complemented by the use of audiovisual media and the introduction of some questions addressed to students, in order to transmit knowledge and facilitate learning. The master class is also known as a "lecture", "expository method" or "master class". This last modality is usually reserved for a special type of lesson taught by a teacher on special occasions, with a content that supposes an original elaboration and based on the almost exclusive use of the word as a means of transmitting the information to the audience.
