Course description
The main aim of the course is to prepare students for teaching psychology courses in the training of teachers, psychologists and other professions where psychology is part of the curriculum (social workers, educational studies, mental health studies etc.) at university level.
The course focuses on two main topics:
- compilation and development of a curriculum
- teaching practice
The course offers knowledge of methodology, simulations of and/or real life teaching situations, and analyses of these experiences. For these analyses we developed checklists and registration shits for systematic observations for two main types of courses, for seminars and for lectures.
