Methodologies Description
Collaborative learning A set of teaching-learning procedures guided in person and/or supported by information and communication technologies, based on the organisation of the class into small groups in which students work together to solve tasks assigned by the teacher in order to optimise their own learning and that of the other members of the group.
Directed discussion A group dynamics technique in which the members of a group discuss a topic freely, informally and spontaneously, although they may be coordinated by a moderator.
Workbook They are a set of texts and written documentation that have been collected and edited as a source for further study of the contents worked on.
Laboratory practice Methodology that enables students to learn effectively through hands-on activities such as demonstrations, exercises, experiments and investigations.
Mixed objective/subjective test Test that integrates essay-type test questions and objective-type test questions. In terms of essay questions, it comprises open-ended essay questions. In addition, as objective questions, it may combine multiple-choice, ordering, short answer, discrimination, completion and/or association questions.
Guest lecture / keynote speech Oral exposition complemented by the use of audiovisual media and the introduction of some questions addressed to the students, with the aim of transmitting knowledge and facilitating learning.
The master class is also known as "lecture", "expository method" or "master class". The latter is usually reserved for a special type of lecture given by a teacher on special occasions, with a content that involves an original elaboration and is based on the almost exclusive use of the spoken word as a means of conveying information to the audience.
Supervised projects Methodology designed to promote autonomous learning by students, under the guidance of the teacher and in a variety of scenarios (academic and professional). It is primarily concerned with learning "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: independent learning by students and monitoring of this learning by the teacher-tutor.
Case study Methodology where the subject is faced with the description of a specific situation that poses a problem to be understood, assessed and resolved by a group of people, through a process of discussion. The student is faced with a specific problem (case), which describes a real situation of professional life, and must be able to analyse a series of facts, referring to a particular field of knowledge or action, in order to reach a reasoned decision.
