This course was conceived with theoretical, theoretical-practical and practical moments in order to articulate the knowledge of the different domains. It also contains moments of reflection and analysis of knowledge through an active dynamic that is intended to be instilled. It is intended to adopt student-centered methodologies that make them an active agent in their teaching / learning process.
The teacher, as advisor and manager of learning, will ensure throughout the course the conditions and means that contribute to the human and professional development of the student.
In essentially practical sessions, the technical room will be used for the demonstration and manipulation of support material for nursing techniques.
