Master classes / lectures. The introduction to each main section and the presentation of the theoretical and conceptual content will be carried out through presentations by the teaching staff responsible for this module.
Situation analysis. The module is organised to include the lecture part with access to materials such as accounts and excerpts from interviews so that, under the teachers’ guidance, the students can carry out an implementation project and identify the theoretical and conceptual elements as a basis for further analysis and evaluation.
Preparation of the work. Students will be asked to carry out a group task involving a diagnosis based on the assignment of a case developed by the group of teachers who are responsible for the module. It consists of an analysis of the collected information in a diagnostic process to pose a series of results, conclusions, recommendations and an intervention plan.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.
