Syllabus
The professionalizing practices of the University Master's Degree in Psychopedagogy consist of a stay in an educational internship center (orientation team) or in a psychopedagogical counseling team (EAP) or similar according to the terminology used in different countries. During said stay, the student will carry out or monitor a planning, development and evaluation of an intervention plan in the field of educational guidance and psychopedagogical intervention (according to the possibilities of the center or service).
It will try to guide the resolution of educational problems in the different training areas where the teaching-learning process takes place. The basic axes on which the internship period pivots will be the functions of prevention, assessment and guidance, intervention in the design of programs and advice and support materials.
The breadth and diversity of the fields of intervention require the training of a versatile professional, capable of working with different age groups and diversified contexts, as well as developing their skills for teamwork, gradually acquiring the necessary autonomy to apply the knowledge acquired.
Each Master's student will carry out their internship at an institution and will have a professor from the University and a tutor from the center. Although the person responsible for the evaluation of professional practices is the University professor, it will be carried out in coordination with the tutor of the center who will also participate in it.
