Methodology of study:

Our goal is not only the transmission of theoretical content but fundamentally also the training of workers with a real working standard. To achieve this we have a teaching focused on the "Learn to apprehend" where thinking (cognitive level), feeling (emotional level) and doing (behavioral level) are joint. 
The teaching tool is the "operative group". In this group, the members actively participate in a learning process which is approached with an "operational technique" by means of which the group’s action is strengthened. The training is completed with workshop methodology and technique. 
In this way, the theoretical training is integrated and enriched with the group practice, so that the students' training deepens and consolidates as they progress through their studies. This Practical - Theoretical - Technical is a distinctive feature from the other social studies centres.
 

Strategies and pedagogical method:

Basically, the head teacher provides the content and the assisting teacher accompanies in the learning processes. With the group work time, its members get to know each other, interacting and accomodating in a mutual and an active way.  
Part of popular education, with tools such as: Learning Community and Pedagogical Couple and Trio. The Learning Community method consists of building learning outside and inside the classroom space. Students and teachers bring their culture, ideological construction, history and origin, and criteria is unified through effective dialogue and shared work.  
To learn in community is to include and be included. Biases, stereotypes and unconscious discriminatory behaviours are worked in community. The pedagogic couples and trios are build in the learning community. Its stance and characteristics are adapted consecuently with the dynamic of the group and its members.
