  • Teaching methodologies and assessment

    Teaching methodologies and assessment

    Active methodologies that articulate theory and practice and the construction of knowledge by students. In addition to traditional classes (lectures, audiovisual) on the syllabus, the development of artistic projects is proposed. In addition to a permanent attitude of research and enquiry, learning by doing is encouraged. These methods are fundamental in the training of teacher-artists, who must also develop a critical thinking about contemporaneity. The evaluation favours the formative dimension, through individual projects. Assessment criteria: Participation, attendance and cooperation (20%); Exploratory work in class or at home (20%); Project 1- 30%; Project 2 - 30%. If needed there is an exam at the end of the year.
