• MetodologiaMethodology

  The teaching methodology involves lectures led by the teacher and practical work. It is active and cooperative, encouraging reflection and placing the student at the center of learning, promoting the acquisition of concepts, problem-solving, research and the development of practical work. Teaching and learning activities take place in theoretical and practical classes, using audiovisual media, research and exploration of different techniques and materials. Individual and group work is planned, presented orally and discussed, encouraging critical analysis by all students. The assessment values class attendance and consists of a process manual and technical samples (30 per cent), a shop window display (20 per cent) and a textile design project for decoration and hospitality, as part of the interdisciplinary project (40 per cent). Class attendance and participation account for 10% of the final grade.
