Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
The classes for this course, of a theoretical-practical nature (TP), have an essentially applied component, in which students apply the theoretical skills acquired through concrete and contextualized practical activities in the area of Social and Organizational Psychology (PSO). These activities include, for example, conducting, analyzing, and discussing applied data analysis procedures. The practical application of the learned concepts will also be carried out using data from a study developed by the students themselves during the Research Methods I course, allowing students to explore all stages of a research process over the two semesters. To engage students in the research developed in the PSO area, internationally published studies using the taught methodologies and methods will be presented. Additionally, whenever possible, efforts will be made to involve students in ongoing research projects at the Research and Development unit (HEI-Lab).
