MODEL STRUCTURE 11

The TLP is constituted by three educational levels:

I. Basic infrastructure level - BIL (obligatory after unsuccessful test of knowledge level-diagnostic test) in this trainees cover the voids of knowledge that are required in order to watch the cognitive object. It is provided educational material and organisation of matter (progressive and linear structure) as to cover the voids.

MODEL STRUCTURE 12

II. Education level - EL (obligatory) in this level trainees study the cognitive object. It is provided the technological course educational material.

MODEL STRUCTURE 13

III. Specialisation level - SL (optional). Trainees take this class provided that they have indication from the teacher for deepen studies if it is realised (evaluation-feedback) training problem. It is provided educational material structured in units with detailed analysis and exercises.

MODEL STRUCTURE 14

Each course includes the following characteristics:

Tools Educational Material Educational Methods Time of Education Learning Theories
