PortugueseObjectives
This Course not only aims to provide a general context for a reflexive and critical discussion about issues that relate to key theories and approaches related to communication, mediation and museums and heritage but also and in general terms, with the development of skills that relate to critical thinking, learn to work collaboratively and research autonomous.
Learning outcomes and competences
At the end of this Course it is expected that students have acquired the knowledge, skills and competences that best allow them to understand the contexts of mediation in a museological and heritage context, its interrelationships and inherent problems.
In addition, it is considered that this Course provides students with opportunities to develop skills that are essential to initiate and develop a career in mediation in museums and other heritage contexts, namely: knowledge of professional ethics and the ability to investigate and conceptualize issues related to study of communication, practices of representation, learning in museums; or of museum and heritage visitors' motivations and interpretative strategies, the ability to discuss questions related to the future of museum anfd heritage mediation.
Thus, at the end of this CU students will be able to:
(a) critically analyze the different theoretical concepts that contextualize the practices of communication, research and evaluation in museums and heritage contexts and to understand its implications in the development of any type of mediation program;
(b) understand, develop and apply different research and evaluation methods in museological and heritage mediation contexts.
c) create, plan and implement mediation programs in museums and other heritage contexts, using the appropriate tools, namely design, digital and management ones.

Teaching methods and learning activities
The sessions of this UC are Theoretical-practical using several teaching-learning approaches. It is used, in particular, the exposure and discussion of questions, audio-visual material, different critical readings of texts, using brainwriting techniques and their variants, creative writing, object exploration and, finally, it also resorts to other types of sessions, of a more practical nature in which museological resources are explored and experienced, making use of the field and its interlocutors whenever possible. This contact zone created with professionals is also used as a laboratory is understood as an essential opportunity to dialogically test ideas.
