My study programme

Hello! In this post i will talk about some things referring to my career.

        

First, I want to refer to the different subjects that compound my study program. The career of psychology has two academic moments: the first or basic level; and the second or specialisation level. The basic level consists in an introduction to all the basic aspects of the social sciences; while the specialisation level have different groups of  specialisation subjects clustered in function of the psychology perspective that have on. I consider that this perspective have some problems that I want to discuss. An initial problem consists in the selection of the subjects in the basic level; in general all of these are selected in function of a contemporary-hegemonic tech-scientific view that doesn’t pick up the different interest of the students. For example, many students want an ethical, historic and politic view of the psychology.

The second theme that I want to discuss is the teaching methods. In general, the career of psychology has an instructional and expositive method of teaching; but, the career has other methods of teaching too, like groups of discuss and semester works. I think that the majority of the teachers know that the paradigm of the instructional education method is paternalist and mean; but, because administrative and bureaucratic things, they have to apply the programmatic view of the institution. But, in really, I don’t know how operate the academic freedom in the Uchile.

In third place, I think that the duration of the career is very good; but I consider relevant be critic with the final level –the ‘thesis level’-; (but, in fact, I don’t know very well this level of the career). Other things like the infrastructure, and the technologic doesn’t affect (or at least not to me) very much the career, so I don’t will discuss about this.
