Teaching-learning process
TEACHING-LEARNING PROCESS
This Master’s degree will be taught 100% online (though there is an optional course that will be taught in person at the Basque Culinary Center) and its methodology will be based on:
PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING
Students synthesize and build knowledge to solve problems so that they respond to the conditions that they themselves set. To do this, they take on different roles that rotate throughout the duration of the course and their progress is supervised by the teacher, who acts as a facilitator.
RESOLUTION OF PRACTICAL CASES
Through case resolution, students apply their acquired knowledge and their own experience in responding to dilemmas posed as a specific methodology. Students are also trained to develop problem-solving and practical skills, feeding their open-mindedness to diverse solutions and innovation.
PROJECTS
Students apply their acquired knowledge and the truths they discover; they learn about themselves and about the need to count on others; they synthesize and build knowledge; they create. The learning process is structured in relation to a real problem observed in a training context or proposed by the teaching staff. The students, in small groups, analyze the problem and carry out a project in which they respond to that problem.
CHALLENGES
Challenge-based learning is a pedagogical approach that demands a global view of the real world. Learning intersects with the student’s doing or acting. This approach takes advantage of the students’ interest in giving a practical meaning to education, while developing cross-curricular skills such as working in a collaborative and interdisciplinary manner, decision making, communication, problem solving, ethics and leadership.
SYNCHRONOUS CLASSES
The distance learning methodology uses Mondragon University’s Virtual Campus as its platform and takes the student’s attendance in synchronous classes in each subject into account. In these classes, all students and the teacher are connected live in order to improve each student’s experience and integration into the program. Attendance in synchronous classes is compulsory except for reasons beyond reasonable control.
All of the aforementioned activities will be carried out with the support of individual and/or group tutoring, as well as their own evaluation process before, during and after the activity.
Before beginning the different modules, an Entry Plan with online sessions will be carried out so that the students will become familiar with the objectives, the methodology and the virtual learning environment to be used.
You can complete your training with a 3-week learning experience at the Basque Culinary Center of the Faculty of Gastronomic Sciences, an international model in Gastronomy Studies and learn first-hand from expert teachers in Gastronomy programs.
