Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Teaching and learning activities include lecture-based sessions (presentation of content) and interactive sessions (questioning, guided discussion, problem-solving, case analysis) throughout the semester. During the semester, students complete a practical group assignment in which they prepare and deliver a class on an essential relational skill in psychological consultation in educational contexts. This active methodology, similar to team-based learning and the flipped classroom, is supported by supervision, feedback, and tutoring from the instructor. Independent study, involving review of current literature and in-depth work with provided materials, also plays a central role. Assessment is continuous, combining the oral and written presentation of the group assignment with an individual written test.
