Sustainable Development Goals

Learning Goals

It is intended that students:
-­Know and characterize the institutional context;
-­Acquire specific knowledge of the population and the different pathologies;
-Observe the psychomotor practices (assessment and intervention) carried out in the internship institution;
‐Know and characterize the practices carried out in the internship institution;
‐Participate in other activities carried out by the internship institution (e.g., team meetings, activities in the community, etc.);

Contents

The contents addressed will be dependent on the kind of institution in which the internship is developed (i.e., intervention’s scope and target population).
Nevertheless, the following contents are identical:
‐Etiology, semiology and therapeutic of different pathologies;
‐Psychomotor observation protocols;
‐Psychomotor assessment protocols;
‐Psychomotor therapeutic techniques – methodological principles.

Teaching Methods

Students will work on CU both at the institution and at the university.
Per week there will be a minimum of 6 hours of activities related to the observation of psychomotor practices.
These activities will be developed at the internship site.
TP (classroom) classes will be held, lasting 120 minutes, which will aim to supervise the acquired knowledge and experience in the institution. Each student will be integrated into a specific group according to the internship specialty.
Continuous evaluation will be operationalized through three components:
-theoretical-practice (written work and compulsory attendance of 75%);
- tutorial orientation (provision in meetings with the advisor);
- Internship (local advisor assessment, internship report).
The minimum grade in each of these components is 9.5 values.
Examination assessment is only possible for the TP component, considering the practical nature of this CU.
