Methodologies Description
Simulation Exercises carried out in a maneuvering and navigation simulator The students will be placed in hypothetical conditions that will simulate situations that could occur in a real context, in order to use them as learning experiences and evaluation procedures. In these simulations the students will demonstrate their skills in concrete situations, their knowledge, their ability to make decisions.
Document analysis Prior to carrying out the exercises in the simulator, the students will be provided with audiovisual and/or bibliographic documents, relevant to the subject matter.
The documentation provided can be used in several ways:
- As an introduction both in the management of the different equipment that the simulator has, as well as in the exercises to be carried out, depending on the purpose pursued with them.
- As an application instrument to the previous study of cases that will be analyzed later in simulation exercises.
- For the theoretical explanation of processes and situations whose result or practical behavior can be observed in the simulator, but which require further analysis.
- As a summary of content that the student should have acquired previously.
Objective test Written test used for the evaluation of learning, whose distinctive feature is the possibility of determining if the answers given are correct or not. It constitutes a measurement instrument, rigorously elaborated, that allows to evaluate knowledge, capacities, skills, performance, etc.
The objective test can combine different types of questions: multiple-choice, short-answer, and/or development questions. It can also be built with a single type of any of these questions.
Case study In this methodology, students will face the description of a specific situation, with a specific problem, which must be valued, understood and resolved, through a group discussion process. The case presented will represent a possible real situation in which the student may find himself in his future professional life, and must be able to analyze a series of facts to reach a reasoned decision through a process of discussion in small groups. Once analyzed, the cases will be represented in the maneuver and navigation simulator to compare the results.
