Demonstration of the syllabus coherence with the UC intended learning outcomes

In a multicultural and interdependent world, it is expected that students take a view inter /transdisciplinary to get a holistic view of reality. The new teachers have to acquire a set of content and skills that enable them to cope with new social and cultural globalized.
Portugal is going through a transformation of its ethnic and cultural diversity, particularly in metropolitan areas marked by immigration.
Schools are public institutions where these changes are reflected in a more visible: we have a diversity of demographics (gender, social class, ethnicity, nationality, language, religion). Multiculturalism, and the situations that emerge from it, it’s a reality that teachers will face in the future.
A thorough understanding of the historical contexts of educational failure is a condition for professionalism in today's critical times of complexity and intercultural interaction

Teaching methodologies

The different themes to be addressed are organized through lectures and theoretical-practical with the use of multimedia (including the use of moodle). Emphasis is placed on active methodologies.
Special emphasis will be placed on the fieldwork, during tutorial sessions.
Carried out a study visit to the Museum Sebastião da Gama.
Students are encouraged to autonomously carry out research tasks centering around topics of high interest to them and in cooperation with outstanding entities/personalities, both in the world of science and on the job (external to the school and connected to education and multiculturalism.

Demonstration of the teaching methodologies coherence with the curricular unit's intended learning outcomes

Students should proceed to viewing multimedia recent critical material (films or documentaries) focused on educational issues and / or multicultural.
Also carry out a study visit to the Museum Sebastião da Gama (Azeitão) to contact with life / work of this writer-educator reference in the district of Setúbal.
On the other hand, begin the process of fieldwork by conducting an interview (embryo of a life story) to a member of a migrant community or a minority ethnic-cultural, linguistic, or national. Students are encouraged to participate / streamline events with members of migrant communities, the ethnic-cultural minorities and/or other individuals outside the educational field of the EUT.
It also seeks to encourage teamwork and knowledge sharing peer at the nuclear component of the evaluation work is conducted in small groups (except for student workers, if they choose). This does not preclude the implementation of individual activities: drafting two pieces of critical reflection on educational topics of current and / or dilemmas of multicultural interaction.
In order to ensure, both work continuity and a constant and up-to-date sharing of educational resources, the use of the computer platform moodle has proven to be an indispensable tool in the learning process and in-class group cohesion.
