Methodologies Description
Workshop Training modality oriented to the application of learning in which knowledge of various subjects is introduced, always around an architectural project, where various methodologies / tests can be combined (exhibitions, simulations, debates, problem solving, guided practices, etc.) through which the students develop practical tasks on a specific subject, with the support and supervision of the teachers of the subjects involved.
Objective test Written test used for learning assessment, whose distinctive feature is the possibility of determining whether or not the answers given are correct. It constitutes a measuring instrument, rigorously elaborated, that allows to evaluate knowledge, capacities, skills, performance, aptitudes, attitudes, intelligence, etc. It is applicable to both diagnostic, formative and additive evaluation. The objective test can combine different types of questions: multiple choice, ranking, short answer, discrimination, completion and / or association questions. It can also be built with just one type of any of these questions.
Field trip Activities developed in a context external to the university academic environment (companies, institutions, organizations, monuments, etc.) related to the field of study of the subject. These activities focus on the development of capacities related to direct and systematic observation, information gathering, the execution of sketches, photographs, sketches, designs, etc.
Introductory activities Activities that are carried out before starting any teaching-learning process in order to know the competences, interests and / or motivations that the students possess to achieve the objectives that they want to achieve, linked to a training program. The aim is to obtain relevant information that allows teaching to be articulated to promote effective and meaningful learning, based on prior knowledge.
Directed discussion Group dynamics technique in which the members of a group discuss freely, informally and spontaneously on a topic, although they may be coordinated by a moderator.
Diagramming It consists of a synthesis of the main contents worked on. It is an optimal resource to facilitate the understanding of reality and / or text and personal concentration on the material under study. It is also an important aid for reviewing and preparing for exams.
Workbook They are a set of texts and written documentation that constitute a source of deepening in the contents worked on.
Multiple-choice questions Objective test that consists of formulating a question in the form of a direct question or an incomplete statement, and several options or answer alternatives that provide possible solutions, of which only one is valid.
Guest lecture / keynote speech Oral presentation complemented by the use of audiovisual media and the introduction of some questions for students, in order to transmit knowledge and facilitate learning. The magisterial session is also known as a lecture, expository method, or magisterial lesson. This last modality is usually reserved for a special type of lesson given by a teacher on special occasions, with content that involves original elaboration and based on the almost exclusive use of the word as a way of transmitting information to the audience.
