Syllabus

SYLLABUS The course will deal with the following topics: 1. The psychological approach to training (with related characteristics and training methods): - The psychodynamic model (to get trained means to become aware of the self); - The behavioral-cognitive model (to get trained means to coach through experience - learning by doing); - The psycho-social model (to get trained means to learn to be with others and cooperate with them by modelling the behavior). 2. The historical phases of training psychology (with related training methods): - Diagnostic-aptitude phase; - Characterological-emotive phase; - Clinical-dynamic phase; - Economic-social phase; - Educational phase; - Phase of vocational development; - Phase focused on the person. DIDACTICS METHODS Through frontal lessons, group discussions and exercises, the course intends to allow students to learn which are the psychological characteristics of training, how training is carried out in the classroom and which are the places that favor or, on the contrary, inhibit the learning processes of the training.
