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

This course has the goal of a specialized clinical praxis based on valid standards of knowledge, so it is expected that the student demonstrate a high level of understanding of the principles of research and scientific evidence, evaluate the use of research methodologies appropriate to the problem and goals, so it is necessary to provide classes for systematization and presentation of content, focuse on questions from students, to promote reflection and interconnection of the content.
Exercises to develop application with the project methodology to properly utilize the guidelines in the search for scientific evidence, systematizing the main results based on evidence about the different research areas, promoting the dissemination of research findings in nursing, it is chosen to classes theoretical and practical enabling work in small groups, applying the principles taught to articles analysis and development of practical exercises applying different techniques.
We add tutorial classes that serve to guide small group reflection and development of required assessment tools. All these types of classes are supported by the use of Moodle, or other e-learning platforms which are placed all supporting materials supplied.
