What we do and how we do it: our distinctive style
The New Learning Context (NCA) is La Salle's educational model that proposes to improve the educational experience to adapt it to the context of the reality of today's society. It presents an organizational, methodological and evaluative proposal that gives full meaning to the education of the person by addressing, in a comprehensive way, all its dimensions during the different stages of student development, who become the protagonist of their own learning.
The deployment of the NCA takes place in all the degrees taught on campus, with a direct impact in three major areas: teaching, personal growth and support and guidance. This educational model focuses on four axes: active methodologies, assessment, collaborative learning and digitization. During the 22-23 academic year, the NCA completed its deployment in all courses of the 19 university degrees on campus, with an impact on more than 300 subjects.
