Teaching will focus on learning students as active agents of their training. Considering that we are facing a 2nd Cycle of Training, it is desirable that future teachers consolidate their capacity for intervention and be the main actors of learning. In this understanding, each programmatic theme will have two key questions, to which students must answer through different learning mechanisms. The evaluation will be formative, implementing the realization of multiple works, ranging from the definition of concepts, exploration of texts and audiovisual material, debates and presentations, all this to develop in the students the critical capacities both through writing or through orality, encouraging, in the same way, the maturation process between synthesis and development.
