Teaching methods and learning activities

The methodology is practical and reflective.

Each ‘UC’ is worth 48 ECTS and is composed of several items, according to the formula of the final evaluation: Final Mark = (Supervised Teaching Practice x 0:52) + (Seminar x 0.13) + (Final Report x 0.25) + (Report Defence x 0:10).During their Supervised Teaching Practice, trainees are assessed for classes taught  (Portuguese + French / Spanish / German) and their analysis, according to the evaluation benchmark document, taking into account the profile drawn at various times by their mentors and their Faculty supervisors, as well as the individual trainees and their colleagues. Their marks stem from the pursuit of objectives directly related to the internship.

The evaluation of the seminars is done through weekly sessions and presentations (oral + written) related to their action research topic and final report. The evaluation of the final report is the responsibility of a jury, bearing in mind the quality of the written report and its public defence.
