Experiential learning
The student learns by doing; there is no learning without action.
Meaningful learning
The teacher relates the knowledge, skills and previous experiences to the interests, expectations and cognitive characteristics of the students.
Collaborative learning
The students "learn together", so they are motivated not just by their own learning, but to increase the achievements of others, forming a social and academic learning experience.
Professional learning
The teacher acts as an advisor and as a guide of the learning towards a professional application.
Constructive and discovery learning
The student inquires and explores to understand the concepts. This allows you to build cognitive structures by comparing, relating and reorganising new concepts with those you have already dealt with.
Autonomous learning
The teacher encourages the students to learn for themselves, developing self-learning. The student is seen as an active and cooperative agent, a protagonist in the construction of his or her own learning.
Individualised learning
The teacher is sensitive to the diversity and different learning styles of the students, adjusting the training activities to suit their needs.
Creative learning
The development of creativity and initiative allows knowledge to be perceived as open, unfinished, something which can always be redefined and understood from other points of view.
