Learning unit contents

This course is a clinical course using problem based learning methods, centered on contextualized acquisition and focused on the learner.


This course is an adaptation of these concepts to the specific context of Speech Therapy. Its aim is to develop students' ability in the area of clinical reasoning using general problem solving strategies, and to develop a network linking organized knowledge and specific abilities. Students will be working in small groups on clinical cases that involve the solution of a problem. With the help of a clinician acting as a tutor, they will work on specific problems together, in terms of the following steps: analysis of the case, generating a hypothesis, commenting on complementary data or documentation, assessment of all information collected regarding the case, and finally, the solution of the problem.
