Teaching and learning at CUD Zaragoza
CUD Zaragozaemploys a student-centred approach to teaching, learning and assessment which applies a wide variety of active methodologies aimed at helping the student to become immersed in their learning.
In this context, the teacher becomes a guide and facilitator in the learning process while the student has the opportunity to develop soft skills and learns how to think, to resolve problems, to take decisions, to work in teams etc, as well as how to reflect on what they are learning.
CUD Zaragoza has formal procedures Integrated into its quality assurance system that establish the adequate design and planning of teaching, learning and assessment strategiesthat are suited to the nature of its study programmes. Within this philosophy, continuous assessment has been established as a norm for perfectioning the student’s learning process.
Learning outcomes, as described in the Academic Guides for each subject, are declarations on what we expect the student to know, understand and be able to do once they have completed a determined period of learning. These statements provide essential information to both the subject lecturers and the student when coming face-to-face with the teaching and learning process and the subsequent assessment phase.
The teaching staff at CUD Zaragoza are committed to innovation in their professional practice and every year launch new projects aimed at the continuous improvement of the teaching and learning processes at the institution. Lecturers can participate in the annual CUD Zaragoza call for teaching innovation projects and also the calls organised by the University of Zaragoza.
