Teaching Methods

The teaching methodology to be used is based on lectures on the teaching of content using audiovisual media projection and the active questioning of students in order to stimulate their participation and reflection on the contents taught.

As a structuring basis of the expository sessions, practical cases will be used to involve the students in the construction of the knowledge that underlies professional nursing action.

At key points of the subject, we will opt for the development of learning activities in laboratory of practice simulation.
