Description |

Written learning progress test, characterised by pre-determined answers. Well-designed tests offer objectively quantifiable results in relation to student knowledge, capacities, skills, performance, aptitudes, attitude, intelligence, etc. Used for diagnostic, formative and summative assessment. May consist of all or any of the following types of questions: multiple choice, ordering and sequencing, short answer, binary, completion, multiple matching. |
Seminar |
Group work technique aimed at in-depth exploration of given topic, consisting of group discussion, individual engagement, preparation of texts and collective conclusions. |
Supervised projects |
Metodoloxía deseñada para promover a aprendizaxe autónoma dos estudantes, baixo a tutela do profesor e en escenarios variados (académicos e profesionais). Está referida prioritariamente ao aprendizaxe do “cómo facer as cousas”. Constitúe unha opción baseada na asunción polos estudantes da responsabilidade pola súa propia aprendizaxe.
Este sistema de ensino baséase en dous elementos básicos: a aprendizaxe independente dos estudantes e o seguimento desa aprendizaxe polo profesor-titor. |
Document analysis |
Técnica metodolóxica que supón a utilización de documentos audiovisuais e/ou bibliográficos (fragmentos de reportaxes documentais ou películas, noticias de actualidade, paneis gráficos, fotografías, biografías, artigos, textos lexislativos, etc.) relevantes para a temática da materia con actividades especificamente deseñadas para a análise dos mesmos. Pódese empregar como introdución xeral a un tema, como instrumento de aplicación do estudo de casos, para a explicación de procesos que non se poden observar directamente, para a presentación de situacións complexas ou como síntese de contidos de carácter teórico ou práctico. |
Guest lecture / keynote speech |
Oral presentation (using audiovisual material and student interaction) designed to transmit knowledge and encourage learning. Presentations of this type are variously referred to as ‘expository method’, ‘guest lectures’ or ‘keynote speeches’. (The term ‘keynote’ refers only to a type of speech delivered on special occasions, for which the lecture sets the tone or establishes the underlying theme; it is characterised by its distinctive content, structure and purpose, and relies almost exclusively on the spoken word to communicate its ideas.) |
