Methodology & assessment
Methodology is based on theoretical lessons and presentations of examples of good practice as well as discussions and experience comparisons. Participants will be active protagonists since they will live an educational experience centered on the experimentation of their own ability. Participants will have the opportunity to acquire technical and practical knowledge through a methodology based on team work, discussions and elaboration using also a method of practical exercises and simulations. Participants will learn to take the role of facilitators rather than teachers so they could develop their students’ self-directed learning skills and turn them in protagonists of their own learning.
