They include the organization of teaching process in cooperative groups, the use of portfolio method and mind maps, individual and cooperative, as cross-functional training devices and the use of interdisciplinary case-studies in professional field with the use of discussion moderation methods, according to the recommendations, developed to adapt a designed case to the knowledge and motivation level of each student’s group.
