Structure
Teaching and learning methods
This module employs interactive and experiential learning approaches. The teaching methods are complemented by assessments such as student-led teaching presentations and peer reviews of teaching techniques, which reinforce the knowledge gained during contact hours. A significant component of the learning process is the preparation for the final assessment, which takes the form of a pedagogical conference with the presentation of the practical pedagogical challenges and its solutions by the students. This assessment evaluates individual contributions, with feedback provided to enhance learning. The module's diverse feedback and assessment methods are designed to enrich the students' learning experience and foster their progression. It is structured as a coursework-based module.
