Public Presentation of Applications for the Educational Innovation Award - Universidade Portucalense
On 16 July, starting at 3 p.m., the Public Presentation of Applications for the Pedagogical Innovation Award will take place in Auditorium 201 at Universidade Portucalense. This session is part of the +Sucesso@UPortucalense Project, funded by the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR), under Axis 2 ‘Teacher Training in Pedagogical Innovation’ promoted by the Office of Pedagogical Innovation.
This is the 1st edition of the Pedagogical Innovation Award, a unique initiative that aims to recognise innovative pedagogical practices that have an impact on improving the quality of teaching and promoting academic success. The award recognises the implementation of strategies that contribute to better results in the teaching and learning processes of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd cycles of studies at Universidade Portucalense.
The inaugural edition has received eight applications, submitted individually or as a team, reflecting the strong commitment and involvement of the teaching community. The teaching practices in the competition were developed within the scope of one or more curricular units, with the mandatory requirement of adopting a continuous assessment system, as established in the respective curricular unit files.
During the session, each application will be publicly presented, in a 10-minute format per project, before a jury composed of eight members, both internal and external to the University. The event will be attended by the Rector, Professor Fernando Ramos, the Vice-Rector for Teaching, Professor Elizabeth Real, and Professor Sandra Fernandes, Coordinator of the Pedagogical Innovation Office and Axis 2 of the +Sucesso@UPortucalense Project.
The session will culminate in a moment of appreciation and overall commentary by the jury, closing a meeting dedicated to the enhancement of teaching and the sharing of innovative pedagogical practices.
The session is open to the entire academic community, so all teachers and other interested parties are invited to attend and be inspired by the initiatives that are transforming teaching at Universidade Portucalense.
