Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Supervised projects Methodology designed to promote autonomous learning of students, under the tutelage of the teacher and in various scenarios (academic and professional). It refers primarily to learning "how to do things". It constitutes an option based on the assumption by students of 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.
Seminar Group work technique whose purpose is the intensive study of a topic. It is characterized by the discussion, participation, preparation of documents and the conclusions that all the components of the seminar have to reach.
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.)
