At the end of the course, students should be able to:
1. Characterise the work of psychologists in an educational context;
2. Understand self-regulation processes and their components;
3. Reflect on the different strategies/actions for preventing violence and indiscipline at school;
4. Describe the main assumptions and variables related to supporting the decision-making process and/or vocational and career intervention;
5. Contribute to collaborative teamwork;
6. Communicate and substantiate, orally and in writing, the process and results of their activity;
7. Use self-regulatory learning strategies (e.g. organising information, self-assessment).
