Didactic methods

Lessons will be conducted with an interactive approach, which will see the use of instant polling software to activate class discussion and reflection.
There will be lectures combined with small group activities in order to stimulate collaborative learning among students.
Fundamental will be the activity designed to take place in pairs: Pierre Vermersch's explicitation interview will be proposed to the peer pairs. This technique will be used to guide students to explicate their own professional experience and reflect on their own learning from experience.
There will also be time devoted to writing a learning diary useful for reflection on one's own learning process and professional practice at the same time.
Short self-assessment activities will be planned during the lessons for formative purposes.

Learning assessment procedures

The final assessment of learning will take into account two key parts:
-Structure of the learning diary as a cross-cutting process during the course of teaching, self-structure case study based on the explanatory interview by Pierre Vermersch in the classroom and structure of the Personal Development Planning (30%).
-Final oral test with specific questions about the curriculum (70%).
