A practical and dynamic learning method

Deusto learning model (MAUD)

Experiential context

We know that we learn from experience. Therefore, at Deusto, our starting point is the student's previous knowledge. In the first stage, activities are aimed at exploring students’ preconceptions, significant cases and previous experiencesin relation to the subject matter addressed.

Reflective observation

Once the previous background has been explored, it is essential to reflect and examine these ideas. Thus, the second phase focuses on activities for reflection through questioning and systematic observation .

Conceptualisation

We compare our previous knowledge with written theory on the subject. We follow a lecture-based method (with face-to-face and online support) through supervised reading material and texts.

Active learning

To put learning into practice , a number of practical activities are carried out. These include case studies, analysis of intervention and research projects , problem- and project-based learning, synthesis work, practical activities conducted by students in the centres, data collection and analysis.

Assessment

Finally, the assessment process involves reflection on what the student has learned and evaluation of the work completed. Activities such as written tests, report writing and other activities are carried out.

Face-to-face and online tutorials.

You will be supervised throughout this process. At the university there are tutorials, both face-to-face and online, aimed at supervising and monitoring work (individual and/or group).

Demonstrate what you have learnt

Master’s Final Project

The project focuses on demonstrating students’ knowledge of research techniques and methods, and their ability to apply them to a specific subject fulfilling the requirements of a psychology research project.

Four seminars form part of the MFP subject of the Master’s degree in General Health Psychology. These activities aim to facilitate the development of the Project and inform students about aspects related to the MFP process.

The seminars include an introduction to the MFP; research ethics; writing of scientific projects; and the MFP defence.

The MFP topic must be related to the areas studied by the Psychology research teams and groups at the University of Deusto’s Faculty of Psychology and Education. Deusto. Students will be required to develop their MFP in the lines and themes of the research teams:

Students will be supported and monitored throughout the whole process by an MFP supervisor. The MFP coordinators will assign a supervisorto each student.

Students will attend tutorials with their supervisors. These meetings will focus on guiding, supporting and monitoring preparation of the MFP.

During the process, students will have the right and responsibility to attend individual tutorials, either face to face or online, in agreement with the student work plan.

Upon completion of the Master’s Final Project, students must submit the final project in print form to subsequently defend it in public before the examining board designated for this purpose.
