Teaching method
The construction of the teaching profession develops within an approach that aims at promoting critical thought and reflective skills in articulation with a methodology of ´learning by doing´ in Schön´s words, without losing sight of the research dimension. Teacher training supervision is to be developed in an instructive, collaborative and reflective perspective and should lead to a reflection on the teaching process and professional and personal development open to innovatinand transformation.
Evaluation method
Formative and summative assessment and evaluation of all the work produced within the teacher training experience (PES).
