Syllabus

The program establishes relationship between the scientific area in which is inscribed the media and the professions of that economic activity field. The Professional Contexts are understood as the relationship between the professions of this field and the environment where it develops the activity, but also the situations in which they are perceived. The contents fall into four approaches related to the professional contexts: (1) heuristic (materials, themes and concepts); (2) professional practice (types and communication elements); (3) activities of the media (branches, organization, equipment and technology); and (4) the media professions (areas, jobs, occupations, trades, professions and specializations).

Demonstration of the syllabus coherence with the UC intended learning outcomes

It is intended to articulate the contents with the objectives by associating the culture of media organizations with the contexts, practices and diverse contents produced by the media. Articulate professional contexts with social functions aimed at both the discovery and resolution of problems and the information, training, entertainment and promotion disseminated in different media and by different types of entities.

Teaching methodologies

Theoretical and practical classes taught using active learning methodologies combined with exploratory activities. Complementarity between direct teaching and indirect method. Field work through the implementation of virtual study visits with the preparation of reports and simulated practice that contribute to the establishment of social interactions and to the involvement of students in the construction of their own knowledge. Promote cooperative work, research and problem solving.
The sessions involve activities organized in large groups (plenary sessions) and in groups (4/5 elements each) according to the activities to be developed based on reading texts, viewing videos and documentaries, available essentially online, with presentation of results according to the assessment instruments.
Highlight for the realization of five sessions aimed at data collection (predictably through tools such as e-mail or Zoom Colibri) and preparation of reports regarding the virtual visit of five different institutions in order to learn about the reality of professions, professionals and areas of activity of journalism and strategic communication - each group must submit 3 reports, selecting for this the 3 virtual visits it intends to carry out.
The study visits are under the responsibility of the UC teachers and their format and schedule depend on the availability of the interlocutor who will be in contact with the students.
Online devices to be used (COVID-19 Distance Learning Plan)
Zoom Colibri; email; Moodle; Messenger; Whatsapp, without disdain for others who are under analysis such as Skype, Teams and Stream, in addition to student suggestions and solutions that in the meantime are made available. The goal is to allow solutions to adapt to students' conditions while ensuring compliance with planning.

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

Expository phase intends to assign meaning actively to the contents which are provided for students to learn facts, concepts, rules and procedures and relate them with their cognitive structures. Demonstrative method, participated and supported by the use of different communication media and complemented with a discussion of case studies.
Indirect teaching encourages the involvement of students, providing research, debate workshop in seminar that simulates the context of the implementation of procedures and tasks that require content and allows the presentation of the results obtained in each session. The know-how is provided by the practice in fieldwork through virtual study visits and mentoring initiatives.

Assessment methodologies and evidences

The work developed at UC will be subject to continuous and summative assessment involving:
A) Group work - 60% of the grade (average between the classification obtained in the reports);
B) Works / exercises developed in a distance teaching session (individual, pairs or group) - 30% (average between the classification obtained in the activities);
C) Participation in the work models adopted with emphasis on teaching sessions through the distance learning platforms Moodle and Zoom Colibri, which implies the performance of individual and group activities - 10% of the grade.
In continuous assessment, the final grade of each student corresponds to the result of the calculation according to the percentage attributed to each moment of assessment: final grade = (A * 60%) + (B * 30%) + (B * 10%).

The completion and delivery of the works follows a timetable and a specific statement, taking into account the students' constraints.
The evaluation of students will take the form of a continuous process (depending on participation in teaching activities) or the possibility of taking a final exam.
The modalities, products, calendar, parameters and evaluation criteria will be communicated to the students and negotiated with them in the first half of the semester and formalized in a specific document.

Attendance system

The continuous evaluation of students depends on their participation in teaching activities through the proposed activities.
