The methodologies are aligned with the type of classes, promoting student participation, through a process of active and collaborative construction of their learning. Videos, documentaries and infographics will be integrated using debate forums through the Moodle® platform, concerning the health status of the Portuguese and European population.
These approaches will be complemented with group dynamics in the co-creation of materials focusing on the main changes in the health status of the person or community, through the mobilization of theoretically developed knowledge.
Assessment by attendance - 100%, with 15% of attendance being assessed by the delivery of the work report (maximum 1 page - written in Tahoma font, size 12) developed by students within the scope of the "Coil - Health & Wellbeing Project 2022/ 2023: facing global health Challenges in Nursing Education" – international project, to be submitted on moodle.
The evaluation will make it possible to highlight the learning results according to the objectives set, and that the student receives feedback on their performance, associated with advice on their learning process.
