Methodologies |
Description |
| Supervised projects |
Methodology designed to promote the autonomous learning of the students, under the tutelage of the teaching staff and in varied scenarios (academic and professional). It is referred primarily to the learning of "how to do things." It constitutes an option based on the assumption by the students of the 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.
The students will make a proposal for learning-service (ApS): educational proposal that combines learning processes and service to the community in a single project, in which the participants are trained by working on real needs of the contour in order to improve it. In the context of the curricula of the UDC, the ApS proposal will be made, if possible, within the framework of the different subjects of the degree, coordinating with the teaching staff responsible for them. |
| Document analysis |
Methodological technique that involves the use of audiovisual and / or bibliographic documents (fragments of documentary reports or films, current news, graphic panels, photographs, biographies, articles, legislative texts, etc.) relevant to the subject matter with specific activities designed for the analysis of them. It can be used as a general introduction to a topic, as an application tool for case studies, for the explanation of processes that can not be observed directly, for the presentation of complex situations or as a synthesis of theoretical or practical contents. |
| Guest lecture / keynote speech |
Oral presentation complemented with the use of audiovisual media and the introduction of some questions addressed to the students, in order to transmit knowledge and facilitate learning.
The master class is also known as "lecture", "expository method" or "master lesson". This last modality is usually reserved for a special type of lesson given 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 way of transmitting the information to the audience. |
| Case study |
Methodology where the subject faces the description of a specific situation that poses a problem that has to be understood, valued and solved by a group of people, through a process of discussion. The students are faced with a specific problem (case), which describes a real situation of professional life, and must be able to analyze a series of facts, referring to a particular field of knowledge or action, to reach a reasoned decision through a process of discussion in small work groups. |
| Long answer / essay questions |
Test in which we seek to respond in writing to questions of a certain amplitude, assessing that the expected response is provided, combined with the ability to reason (argue, relate, etc.), creativity and critical thinking. It is used for the diagnostic, formative and summative evaluation. It allows to measure the skills that can not be evaluated with objective tests such as the student's capacity for criticism, synthesis, comparison, writing and originality; so it implies a broad and deep study of the contents, without losing sight of the set of ideas and their relationships. |
| Collaborative learning |
Set of teaching-learning procedures guided in person and / or supported by information and communication technologies, which are based on the organization of the class into small groups in which students work together to solve tasks assigned by teachers to optimize their own learning and that of the other members of the group. |
| ICT practicals |
Methodology that allows students to effectively learn, through practical activities (demonstrations, simulations, etc.) the theory of a field of knowledge, through the use of information technology and communications. The TIC suppose an excellent support and channel for the treatment of the information and practical application of knowledge, facilitating the learning and the development of abilities on the part of the alumnado. |
