Learning objectives
By critically analysing the current debate on the programming and evaluation of training courses and the examination of planning documents and evaluation research contributions, students will be able to: 1) arrive at a greater understanding of their own beliefs (connected to personal experience at school and university) in relation to planning and evaluation in the educational field; 2) identify meanings, uses and problems in planning and evaluation in education; 3) the use of different strategies, instruments and planning and evaluation procedures in training interventions. <br />

Teaching methods
The course will take an active form (interactive lessons, mini case studies, analysis of authentic documents, micro-simulations) and will continually make the most of the direct experiences of the participants and the interaction between the students. Classroom activities will be accompanied by the use of authentic materials and computer presentations. The learning process will be closely monitored during classroom activities through feedback. <br />
<br />
Students will be evaluated by written exam, two and a half hours in duration, which includes both open and closed questions. Students will be able to improve their evaluation during the oral exam. <br />
