To the practical contents, on the other hand, there will be a clear protagonism of the students, since the teacher will only offer the initial questions and will support throughout the individual or group work of the students. It is about making a simultaneous system of teaching-learning of the students, which becomes a type of training to face in the best conditions the tests of theory and practice at the end of the block.

Depending on the size of the group, you can also use the group dynamics technique with a spokesperson to assess teamwork.

In each of the thematic blocks, the same scheme will be made:

• Presentation with script.

• Approach of basic questions to learn.

• Content exhibition.

• Realization of practical assumption.

• Summary essential elements of the subject.
