Module 1 - Positive Parenthood and Child and Teenager Development

Recommended Prerequisites

NA

Teaching Methods

The teaching-learning process is supported by two types of strategies:

a) reading and analyzing 3 support texts and identifying the relevant keywords, providing proper justification to the choices made

b) creating a symbolic object (ex. an image) on the importance of exercising positive parenthood. This object must be easily understood by parental educators.

 

During the whole module, students will be able to ask questions about, and receive feedback on, the ongoing activities by the course professors.

 

The assessment will be based on a 0 to 20 scale and will consist of the activities mentioned in a) and b). Both activities will contribute equally to the final grade.
