The program developed to help the student achieve the anticipated results comprises the following:
Theory lectures in large groups (30 hours, 1,2 ECTS):
Explanations and orientation of individual study of the different units that make up the subject. Students will be guided toward the acquisition of competencies and learning results. A range of mediums will be used to convey the necessary ideas (Powerpoint presentations, video clips, documentaries, illustrative animations, etc. ).
Practical sessions in smaller groups (Problem solving and cases, 20 hours, 0,8 ECTS; Work tasts, 40 hours, 1,6 ECTS):
Problem solving and questions in reduced groups (2-3 people per group). The laptop computers available to the Psychology Degree program will be used to simulate experiments in Learning Psychology. The program Sniffy Pro for Windows will be used as well as web pages whose contents, images and animations are relevant and related to the theory outlines. The Moodle learning platform will be used to download the problems and questions to resolve and answer, upload work for correction by the lecturer and carry out unit texts and practical exercises.
Autonomous Study (50 hours, 2 ECTS):
In addition to the activities already mentioned the student is expected to create structured work programs and unit outlines while bearing in mind the time required by other subjects. Motivation must be shown in the student’s autonomous work.
