Teaching methodologies
Teaching methodologies
Expository and demonstrative methods are used. In an initial expository phase, the theoretical aspects related to ethics and deontology in neuropsychological intervention are addressed. In the demonstrative phase, teaching necessarily includes practical classes both on and off campus. Off-campus sessions are aimed at observation and initiation into practical skills in real-world contexts, under supervision. In practical classes, role-play activities, test scoring exercises, and interpretation of results are emphasized.
