Syllabus Information

1. General information

1.1. Aims of the course

The purpose of this subject is to know, analyze and reflect on the main topics of research on the competencies that characterize, in general, a good trainer, both the so-called specific and the personal and transversal. In addition, the contents and activities included in the subject favor the self-knowledge of the participating student as a supposed (or real) trainer. Topics: training models, teacher thinking, mental representations, attitudes, beliefs, personal competencies, cross-cutting competencies, ethics, social responsibility, resilience, stress and conflict.

1.2. Context and importance of this course in the degree

The meaning of this subject in the master's degree is primarily introductory, since the content of it refers to the professional and personal competence profile that, in general, the trainer of the 21st century is demanded and on which it has already been generated a considerable amount of research, but which, in order to enrich and realize, will require other more specific inputs. However, this is a subject in our ordeal in a future researcher on lifelong learning. If life is learning, the trainer is the catalyst for it; consequently, knowledge and study of it will lead to more appropriate and optimal learning.

The introductory nature is also due to the use of a subject offered in the first semester, when the participating student has not yet had the opportunity to acquire the skills that he is expected to achieve in compulsory subjects, including in the "Research Foundations" module. The apprenticeships acquired in the said module will greatly promote the design and implementation of research processes that at the time of the present subject, "Trainer's Competencies" are still in the process of being acquired. For this reason, the approximation of the design of an investigation will be made only as regards justification and objective of the investigation.

1.3. Recommendations to take this course

Be interested in the relevance of training and education in general (formal or non-formal) and to know and investigate the many professional and personal competences that a person who intends to dedicate himself, or already does, to training must possess. Optimal skills as a trainer will result in a greater and better achievement of the best learnings by people who benefit from this teaching-learning process, regardless of age, situation and other personal characteristics and Sociocultural.

2. Learning goals

EC 01 - Use theoretical knowledge related to research in Social Sciences to analyze different research, identifying the relevant elements related to the methodology used in them.

EC 02 – Start in the design of investigations, raising a research problem and addressing the most relevant tasks within it: delimiting the objectives, the hypotheses (if necessary), the participants, the variables, the instruments and the procedure.

It will consist of an assembly test divided into three parts:
a written test on knowledge of key terms and/or topics in the subject and on which the student will reflect in relation to the readings of the subject.
