Learning method

Learning is based on the revision, questioning and constant construction of theoretical and practical knowledge. The objective of learning is to acquire the ability to generate questions and give answers - always provisional. To achieve this, it is essential that the student take an active role in the autonomous approach to information, reading and reflecting in order to establish an informed and enriching dialogue with the teacher.

We base learning on the integration of theory and practice:

  • We work on the added value of theory both when interpreting reality and acting on it.
  • We seek the usefulness of theory to rethink and modify practice: theory allows us to learn from practice.
  • We investigate how the analysis of the practice allows us to rethink the theory.
  • We concentrate theoretical teaching in the first quarter, and connect them with real experiences (in situ).

In this module, prior autonomous work will be required, through reading and preparation of short papers, for each topic. This work will be complemented with discussions in seminars and with the preparation and presentation of oral presentations, which will help to better sedimentation of knowledge and the ability to rethink them.

The time dedicated to learning is structured from the combination of in-class taught sessions and autonomous homework by the student: 25 hours of student work by ECTS credit (total of 250 hours), of which 20% (50 hours) will be in-class taught classes, 30% (75 hours) will be semi-autonomous and oriented by the lecturer, and 50% (125 hours) will be autonomous student work.

The in-class learning led by the lecturer will be based on the combination of lectures and discussion seminars on both the theoretical aspects and the application of these case studies. The semi-autonomous learning led by the lecturer will be based on the timely tutoring of short assignments and the preparation of oral presentations.

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.
