Teaching methods and learning activities

The contact moments (25 hours) focus on a methodology of debate and collaborative work for presentation and analysis of the contents of the training and for discussion of the themes of the course.
The autonomous work (56 hours) of the trainees will be developed from methodologies of individual and group work, reflection and discovery, interaction and field work, with the aim that the trainees come into practical contact with digital resources and appropriate them to design a project to apply in an educational context. Trainees will then analyse and reflect on the results obtained during the practical application of the project, learn from their experience and discuss the results obtained in the last session with their colleagues.
