Course Objectives
The course contributes to achieving the educational objectives of the Degree Programme by providing students with theoretical knowledge and methodological tools that are essential for understanding and analyzing the main topics of the relevant discipline. Specifically, students are expected to have acquired:an appropriate contextualization of psychological knowledge within the natural, human, and social sciences;the ability to critically address issues related to the objects of study in psychology and to communicate their reflections effectively.Expected learning outcomes:Knowledge and understanding:To gain an interdisciplinary perspective by integrating biomedical explanations of human behavior and contributions from the humanities and social sciences in the development of psychological theory.Applying knowledge and understanding:To foster awareness of psychology’s inherently interdisciplinary nature, recognizing the essential contributions of biomedical and humanistic disciplines that have shaped its scientific foundation.Making judgements:To develop the capacity to compare different theoretical perspectives.To encourage reflective thinking and understanding of the principles that guide knowledge production.Communication skills:To demonstrate the ability to communicate acquired knowledge through oral presentations and written assignments on specific topics or open-ended questions.Learning skills:To develop reflective thinking and metacognitive awareness regarding learning strategies and academic content.
Course Prerequisites
For a successful learning experience in the General Pedagogy course, the following knowledge and skills are considered desirable and assumed to be already acquired:Basic knowledge in the field of human sciences, particularly introductory concepts from psychology, sociology, and philosophy, typically acquired during upper secondary education.Reading comprehension and analytical skills, especially in relation to essayistic and argumentative texts, which are essential for critically engaging with pedagogical materials.Basic communication skills, both written and oral, necessary for active participation in discussions, workshops, and seminar activities.Logical and argumentative reasoning skills, to support the theoretical and reflective approach that characterizes pedagogical study.
Teaching Methods
The course is delivered in person and combines different teaching approaches that align with the expected learning outcomes. The main methods include:Classroom lectures, aimed at presenting theoretical frameworks and key concepts, and providing a structured overview of the course content.Practical sessions and case study discussions, to help students apply their knowledge and develop analytical and critical thinking skills;Seminars with invited speakers, offering in-depth exploration of specific topics and opportunities to engage with professionals and researchers.Group activities and presentations, designed to enhance teamwork, communication, and independent judgement.Optional activities (e.g. workshops, project work, fieldwork) may be offered during the semester and will be announced in class or through the e-learning platform.Attendance is not mandatory, but it is strongly recommended, as active participation in the various learning activities greatly supports the achievement of the course’s intended learning outcomes.
Assessment Methods
The exam consists of a written test designed to assess learning, conceptual mastery, and interpretation and analysis skills. The exam lasts approximately 20 minutes.The test will be graded with a score between 0 and 30 (with possible honors). A score of 18 to 23 indicates sufficient learning, a score of 23 to 28 indicates good learning, a score of 28 to 30 indicates excellent learning, and a score of "with honors" indicates particular analytical and critical reasoning skills in the course topics.Learning assessment is achieved through a written exam consisting of 15 multiple-choice questions. The questions cover the entire course curriculum. Grades are expressed in thirtieths. The final score is determined based on the number of correct answers. The passing threshold is 18/30. Incorrect or unanswered questions do not incur any penalties. The exam is structured to distinguish different levels of proficiency, consistent with the expected learning outcomes.
