Class Informatics Workshop - Digital Resources and Methodologies to Promote Active Learning

The course unit Informatics Workshop - Digital Resources and Methodologies to Promote Active Learning is part of the Master's in Teaching Informatics (2nd semester) and aims to prepare future teachers to critically and creatively use active methodologies, such as Project-based Learning, Problem-based Learning, Peer Programming and Flipped Classroom, mobilising digital resources in Informatics teaching. It focuses on analysing and creating digital resources, designing learning scenarios that integrate active methodologies, and assessing learning in digital, active contexts. Taught in the 2nd semester, it deepens and complements students' didactic-technological training, equipping them to design and implement innovative teaching sequences throughout the study cycle.
