Program details

Overview

The master's prepares teachers for the 1st cycle of basic education and for Portuguese, History and Geography of Portugal in the 2nd cycle. It develops scientific, pedagogical and didactic knowledge for planning and running good teaching practice. Students deepen their understanding of the curriculum documents for both cycles, including vertical and horizontal links, and build collaborative research skills, reflective practice and a positive view of the teaching profession. The second-cycle award is a Mestre that gives the professional qualification to teach. Graduates can teach in the 1st cycle and teach Portuguese and History and Geography of Portugal in the 2nd cycle. Prior learning is recognised under the polytechnic's academic regulation.
