Demonstration of the syllabus coherence with the UC intended learning outcomes
The program contents reflect a theoretical framework that frames, rehearses and promotes prevention and risk management in sports that use nature as the stage of their achievements.
Teaching methodologies
The discipline is semiannual and the organization of the syllabus is based on two parts: a part destined to theoretical studies and another part destined to the application of the theory.
For practical / applied studies the working methods are diversified and according to the objectives of each class. The most frequently performed by the students are the presentation of topics, discussion panels, individual and / or small group work, the preparation of synthesis and reflection sheets on theory, fieldwork and project work.
The evaluation is continuous and the students integrated in it are subject, during the process, to the small practical work of reflection and / or deepening of the study carried out, as well as specific situations of questioning. Attendance is a factor to be taken into account in the ongoing evaluation process, in the order of 80% attendance.
Demonstration of the teaching methodologies coherence with the curricular unit's intended learning outcomes
Special emphasis is placed on interactive methodologies, teaching by discovery, involving students in the teaching-learning process, focused on an approach of theoretical concepts referenced by scientific research and its application to practical situations.
Assessment methodologies and evidences
The assessment of the UC "Risk Prevention and Management in Nature Sports" is based on the continuous assessment regime, which is based on process and product moments:
Process:
- Application exercises carried out in classes, individual and / or group work - 40%
Product
