Objectives
Objectives
Enable the student to master information and communication technologies as a tool for reflection, planning and evaluation of their practices and for their personal and professional development, through an active, cooperative learning process in which each student becomes responsible for mastering and teaching peers one of: reading, writing, editing and layout of scientific documents; online research and selection of scientific documents; critical and ethical use of artificial intelligence tools; creation and analysis of digital forms; use of data tables, formulas and charts in spreadsheets; and preparation of effective oral presentations. Students are also expected to develop collaborative work, learning autonomy and scientific communication skills by acting as peer-tutors for at least one content block.

Teaching methodologies
Teaching methodologies
The curricular unit works as a peer-teaching research-initiation lab, structured in 5 content blocks. Groups are formed in the first class and each student becomes responsible for one block, studying, applying and then teaching it to their group; each block is assessed at the end of its period through self- and peer-assessment. In the final group presentation, questions on all blocks are randomly drawn for each member, ensuring individual verification of learning across the whole assignment. Students have access on Moodle to Philix, the university's AI assistant, and to the Mentoring Programme, available to support students with greater difficulties.
