BASIC AND GENERAL
CG01 - Analyze the current and future status of terrestrial biodiversity.
CG03 - Employ the information sources and databases needed to help analyze and generate information specific to the field of terrestrial biodiversity.
CB6 – Use knowledge as a basis for originality in the development and/or application of ideas, often in a research context.
TRANSVERSAL
CT1 – Capacity for analysis and synthesis.
CT2 - Capacity for reasoning, argumentation and decision-making.
SPECIFIC
CE5 – Know how to apply methods to study natural populations, being able to recognise, when appropriate, the conservation status or invasive potential of species and populations.
Guest lecture-Keynote speech: Teaching method by which the teacher presents concepts and / or procedures, providing basic information needed to understand a theoretical perspective or a practical procedure, promoting student participation.
Laboratory sessions: developed in the field, lab or computer room, and aiming to in situ observation of the physical and biological environment, to conducting experiments, and to learning and applying computer software, with the support and supervision of teachers.
Cooperative learning: the students work in small groups to achieve a common goal under the supervision of the teacher. This cooperative process improves the learning experience of all members of the group.
EVALUATION SYSTEM MINIMUM PERCENTAGE (of the final grade) MAXIMUM PERCENTAGE (of the final grade)
The achievement of these skills will be evaluated continuously throughout the school period.
100% of the final grade will be the result of the evaluation of several reports requested in the interactive classes by the teachers of the subject
