Contents
The general objective of the module is that the student acquires professional experience from supervised practices by professionals in the psychology of sport and physical activity. In this sense, the student goes to an external centre in the field of sports psychology, with which he has previously signed a collaboration agreement. In this centre the student: a) learns the basic skills of professional practice by collaborating directly with a professional of recognized experience in the field; b) joins the centre and his/her professional team, assisting in the whole process of applied intervention related to some of the real cases that are being carried out.
Specifically, the contents that will be worked on in the practices that will be carried out are the following:
- The participation in preparatory activities for professional practice as a psychologist of sport and physical activity.
- The application of previous theoretical knowledge acquired in the master's degree to the context of applied practice.
- To use the knowledge of methodology and intervention for collaboration in research and intervention projects of the centre, if appropriate.
- The attendance to seminars of the professional teams of the centre.
- The drafting of diagnostic and intervention reports.
