Learning activities and methodology
The methodology proposes a training model that allows the student an active and continuous learning, encouraging participation and using technological tools to support teaching and interaction. It will provide students with the necessary materials for effective learning through Aula Global2. Learning activities will be structured as follow: 1. Conceptual framework: To provide students with a theoretical vision of the discipline and acquire the fundamental concepts and knowledge in implementing effective information literacy programs. It will provide a pdf document with the notions and concepts to work in each teaching unit. 2. Complementary framework. For the student to perceive and understand that every object of research in Science has different perspectives, trends and schools students will study a series of individual reading along the course. These readings will be journal articles, book chapters, monographs and scientific contributions include, in electronic format. The readings will be offered during the course through the AulaGlobal platform and shall constitute a basis for evaluating the attitude, motivation and monitoring of the subject by the student 3. Illustrative framework. For the student to confirm their understanding of the concept to their own assimilation and effective implementation in their professional future electronic resources and/or virtual will offer, complemented by discussions. This framework will be underpinned by e-mail addresses, resources, software and tutorials, visual and practical support conceptual discourse. This framework will illustrate practical exercise for lifelong learning. 4. Practices framework. For students to acquire skills abilities and competencies developing practical activities are proposed to students, in parallel with the development of classes. Its goal is to certify that the student knows and knows about the competences proposed in each teaching unit. It will be designed as an object of learning: instructional design, additional associated material, examples, suggested exercises, for completion by the student. 5. It may be offer questionnaires for completion by the students, which will serve as a basic element of individual assessment and monitoring of quality in the learning process. 6. Tutorials. To develop effectively the educational model, the tutorial system becomes important to ensure a collaborative and meaningful learning. We propose two types of tutorials: one derived from the collective face tutorials; other personal tutorials, and training relating to their academic career, virtual tutorials to care telematics attention in the days set.
