Bibliographic Details
Summary:The pedagogical practice developed within the scope of the infoCosmetics Portal project is based on the principles of cooperative and collaborative learning, promoting interaction between students from different OUs and their active participation in building knowledge geared towards scientific dissemination. A multidisciplinary team organises this project comprises lecturers and students from the Faculty of Pharmacy, the Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Porto, who collaboratively select, produce and edit the content published on the portal. This pedagogical practice encourages students to develop skills specific to each scientific area and transversal skills associated with collaborative learning, such as leadership, conflict management, and critical thinking. It also reduces isolation and promotes mutual responsibility, learning new ideas and creating interpersonal networks. At the same time, this pedagogical practice makes students more aware of the university's responsibility to society, the so-called third mission, and the role they can play in this mission. This way, it contributes to each student feeling an integral and active part of UP. It encourages education for citizenship, responding to the need to clarify consumers' and professionals' doubts about cosmetic products and ingredients through an educational approach supported by scientific evidence, using easy-to-understand terminology and infographics.
