With faculty member Lurdes Veríssimo, we launch the feature “Learning with Impact”, where we aim to highlight our lecturers’ commitment to pedagogical innovation and to teaching that truly makes a difference.

At the Faculty of Education and Psychology of the Universidade Católica Portuguesa, teaching is more than transmitting knowledge. It is about reflecting, adapting, and transforming.

Lurdes Veríssimo, Coordinator of the University Psychology Clinic and lecturer on both the Undergraduate and Master’s degrees in Psychology, believes that it is through continuous reflection on teaching practice that a genuine learning experience is built.

Because teaching with excellence begins by listening to students, thinking about what we do and transforming the way we teach.
