The evaluationt will be operationalized through the development of group work: Written work with a weighting of 60% and presentation in the classroom, with a weighting of 40%, allowing the acquisition of new ideas and learning.
Demonstration of the coherence between the teaching methodologies and the learning outcomes
The methodologies used are intended to facilitate the assimilation of knowledge and cognitive skills through participatory exposure, placing master students at the center of the teaching-learning process, promoting their own personal and professional development. The use of expository sessions according to the interactive method, as well as the use of document analysis, provide enrichment of learning through the use of different document sources. On the other hand, anindividual reflective analysis is promoted, in small groups, in the larger group and with the teacher, which allows master students to participate in their own learning. The discussion and analysis of documentary sources, in valuing evidence-based practice, are methodologies that promote the development of critical thinking, decision-making and the integration of scientific knowledge.
