  • TEACHING METHOD

    Problem-Based Learning

    • FGV EESP uses the problem-based learning teaching methodology for its undergraduate course. This methodology establishes a learning environment that stimulates cognitive processes that are effective for learning. Based on concrete economic situations, students learn models and instruments of economic theory in a motivational environment, with intense group discussions, experimentation and the solving of complex problems. Students are immersed in an intensive study routine and they play an active role in the learning process. In this process, students are constantly motivated and challenged to use their theoretical knowledge to find solutions to complex problems. Thus, a fertile environment is established for the development of logical and critical reasoning skills, enhancing students’ capacity and learning autonomy. In addition, the activities conducted in the undergraduate course help students to refine their “21st-century skills,” such as leadership, communication, organization, decision making, resilience and persistence.
