BASIC AND GENERAL COMPETENCIES
Competencies and skills necessary for the development of psychological assessment and intervention functions in the workplace and organizations.
They must acquire advanced knowledge that defines Work and Organizational Psychology, including its theories, methods, and subfields of application.
They must be capable of making critical decisions regarding the application and interpretation of the results derived from social and forensic psychological assessment and intervention procedures, as well as those related to human behavior at work.
Students must acquire skills and master techniques for advanced research in the fields of Work and Organizational Psychology.
They must demonstrate an interest in independent and ongoing learning, as well as in updating their knowledge in the fields of Work and Organizational Psychology.
They must know how to guide their professional performance based on respect and consideration of the principles and values of Work and Organizational Psychology, as well as the profession's Code of Ethics.
Students must acquire skills and master techniques for advanced research in the fields of Work and Organizational Psychology.
SPECIFIC
They must be able to develop intervention projects in the various fields of Work and Organizational Psychology.
They must be able to relate theoretical content to the professional practice of Work and Organizational Psychology.
They must be able to understand and interpret, at an advanced level, the measurement and evaluation methods used in the organizational context.
They must be able to establish the Goals of psychological practice in the organizational cThey must ontext
They must know how to assess and interpret the relationship between the characteristics of individual differences (e.g., personality, abilities, skills) and performance (individual and group), as well as establish their influence on organizational effectiveness.
They must know and understand different processes that occur in organizations and their importance (motivation, communication, leadership, etc.).
They must know how to prepare technical reports, intervention recommendations, or reports on the timing of the research or intervention program.
They will be able to know and accept the limitations of evaluation and practice in Organizational Psychology, adhering to ethical requirements and international standards (e.g., APA, SIOP).
They will be able to guide professional practice based on the values of respect, equality, impartiality, and objectivity.
They will be able to effectively disseminate and communicate the results of the different phases of the evaluation and intervention process to, among others, audiences, professionals, institutional leaders, and the general public.
The expository and interactive sessions are aimed at training students regarding the acquisition of knowledge related to the contents of the subject.
In the expository sessions, the teacher will explain the different topics supported by audiovisual material and ICT tools. In the event that it is necessary to change the scenario and face-to-face expository teaching is not possible, the MS Teams platform will be used, teaching synchronously.
In any case, the Virtual Campus will be used as a means of communication with the students, both to send them all the information on the subject, as well as the materials that must be prepared by the students, as well as to deliver the work they will be part of the evaluation.
The interactive activities will be of various types: (1) Analysis of cases, exercises, assignments and simulations to put into practice the concepts learned in the lecture classes and acquire the specific skills (at the elementary level) necessary to pass the subject. (2) Small group dynamics in which, in addition to developing specific skills directly related to the contents of the subject, students will practice oral communication skills. In addition to all this, throughout the course students will be able to participate in carrying out experiments and studies related to the subject, as well as they will have to carry out several compulsory readings.
Evaluation activities have a double aspect; On the one hand, the continuous assessment activities will allow students to have constant feedback on their progress throughout the course, regarding their degree of acquisition of skills related to knowledge, techniques and attitudes; while the partial and final exams will try to evaluate the level of knowledge acquired by the subject regarding the contents of the topics included in the subject program.
Attendance at the lectures and interactive sessions is mandatory, unless justified, to pass the course.
The assessment of subject-specific competencies most closely related to the acquisition of theoretical and practical knowledge will be carried out through the final exam and/or midterm exams, which will count for 65% of the final grade. The in-person exam will have two parts: a longer section with multiple-choice questions and a shorter section with essay-type questions (statistics exercises, content development, etc.).
The assessment of both specific and general competencies will be based on students' performance in each of the interactive activities (individual and group projects, case analyses, assignments, readings, etc.). This section will count for 35%.
The final grade will be obtained from the weighted average of the lecture section plus the expository section; passing the course requires obtaining at least 5 points out of 10 in both the expository and interactive sections.
Reading and preparing materials: 42 hours
Information research, pre-reading, analysis, and reporting: 20 hours
Working assignments: 40 hours
Total personal work hours: 102 hours
An important recommendation is attendance at classes, both theoretical and practical, and above all, active participation in them. It is essential to successfully pass the subject and achieve the objectives proposed in this program.
A second recommendation is that the contents of the subject be studied systematically and regularly throughout the teaching period and that the practical material be used to delve into the contents of some of the issues dealt with in theory.
Fraudulent completion of exercises or tests
(Regulations for the evaluation of student academic performance and grade review - Approved by the Governing Council on June 15, 2011, and amended on April 5, 2017).
Fraudulent completion of any exercise or test required for the evaluation of a subject will result in a failing grade on the corresponding exam, regardless of any disciplinary proceedings that may be initiated against the offending student. The production of plagiarized works or works obtained from publicly accessible sources without reworking or reinterpreting them and without citing the authors and sources, among other things, will be considered fraudulent.
Intentional manipulation or falsification of attendance control systems will result in non-attendance and must be reported to the Rector's Office for the initiation of any applicable disciplinary proceedings (Article 2.4 of the Regulations on Class Attendance in Official Undergraduate and Master's Degree Programs).
