Methodologies Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech Oral presentation complemented with the use of audiovisual media and the introduction of some questions addressed to the students, in order to transmit knowledge and facilitate learning.
The guest lecture is also known as lecture, exposition method or keynote speech. This last modality is usually reserved for a special type of lesson taught by a teacher on special occasions, with some original content and based on the almost exclusive use of the word as a means of transmission of the information to the audience.
Oral presentation Inherent intervention to the teaching-learning processes based on verbal exposure through which the
students and teachers interact in an orderly way, posing questions, making clarifications and exposing
topics, works, concepts, facts or principles in a dynamic way.
Mixed objective/subjective test Test that integrates open-ended questions and objetive questions.
Concerning the open-ended questions, this are questions in which students have to explain. Concerning objective questions, there could be multiple choice, put-in-order, short answer, yes/no, fill-in-the-gaps, or association questions.
Research (Research project) Learning process oriented towards students' learning through the completion of practice-based tasks. In these tasks, students are asked to identify an issue, analyse it, develop measures to deal with it, interpret the results and draw conclusions. The project will deal with the design of a didactic proposal.
Document analysis Methodological technique that involves the use of audiovisual and/or bibliographic documents (fragments of reports, documentaries or films, current news, graphic panels, photographs, biographies, articles, legislative texts, etc.) which are relevant to the subject matter with activities specifically designed for their analysis. It can be used as a general introduction to a topic, as a case study application tool, for the explanation of processes that cannot be observed directly, for the presentation of complex situations or as synthesis of theoretical or practical content.
Collaborative learning Set of teaching-learning procedures guided in person and/or supported with ICT, which are based on the organization of the class into small groups in which the students work together in solving tasks assigned by teachers to optimize their own learning and that of the other members of the group.
Case study Methodology in which the student deals with the description of a specific situation entailing a problem which has to be understood, analysed and solved by a group of people through a debate. The student faces a specific issue (case) which is related to a real situation in the professional realm and has to be able to analyse some facts to reach a meditated decision by debating in small groups.
Student portfolio It is a folder divided by identified or labeled sections, which contains the records or materials product of the learning activities carried out by the student in a period of time, with the comments and grades assigned by the teacher, which allows to visualize the student's progress. The portfolio includes everything the student does, such as: class notes, research papers, work guides and their development, comments, summaries, written tests, self-assessment tasks, completed tasks, comments on the student's progress made by the teacher, etc.
