- The Critical Thinking curricular unit uses innovative methodologies that promote active and collaborative learning. Problem-based learning (PBL) puts students at the center of the process, challenging them to solve practical cases with critical thinking. Case studies and simulations allow students to apply theory to real-world scenarios, while digital tools facilitate collaboration and instant feedback. Gamification makes the process engaging, with games that encourage critical analysis. Continuous assessment is based on reflections, encouraging self-criticism and the continuous development of critical thinking skills.
