Learning and Development I is a core subject within the curriculum and does not have any prerequisites. However, the chosen methodological approach and the competencies to be developed require an active attitude, as well as regular attendance and participation in class activities. A willingness to engage in conceptual change, the completion of assigned readings (both basic and complementary), and active involvement in small-group cooperative work are also essential.
The course Learning and Development I is part of the subject Basic Formation: Learning and Development of Personality (Ministry Order ECI/3857/2007). It is a basic and compulsory course linked to the foundational subjects of the Social and Juridical Sciences, specifically in the fields of Education and Psychology.
The subject comprises 18 ECTS credits, distributed across three compulsory courses worth 6, 4, and 5 credits respectively: Learning and Development I, Learning and Development II, and Differences and Inclusion.
Each course has a duration of one semester and corresponds to the second, third, and fourth years of the degree program. Learning and Development I is a core 6-credit course within the Primary Education Degree Study Plan.
This course is designed to strengthen the professional training of future primary education teachers, complementing other subjects in the degree program, particularly in the areas of pedagogy, sociology, and special didactics.

The course is grounded in the Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) methodology, a student-centered pedagogical approach that fosters the development of critical and analytical thinking through exploration, questioning, and reflective engagement.
Throughout the course, students will be expected to engage in autonomous learning tasks, both individually and in collaborative teams. These tasks include the reading of assigned texts and other relevant materials necessary to successfully complete the planned learning activities.
Systematic tutorial sessions will be scheduled to monitor the progress of team-based projects and to provide academic support in relation to the study of the course content and emerging inquiries.
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.
