Objectives and Contextualisation

Psycho-pedagogical intervention in pre-school and primary education is based on the conception that the regulatory principles of the teaching-learning process need to be adapted to the specific characteristics and needs of pupils. These principles must be understood in terms of all educational activities at these levels as being preventive. For this reason they must incorporate mechanisms that strengthen basic skills and promote social inclusion for pupils. At this early level of education emphasis must be given to the processes of early detection of problems associated with learning and development so that secondary prevention can be effective.

 

Specific objectives:

  • See and value education as a systemic process.
  • Be familiar with the resources and measures for an inclusive school. 
  • Understand and analyze the psycho-pedagogical processes required to intervene.
  • Value the principles and models necessary for psycho-pedaogical intervention with students, their families and the school curriculum.
  • Prepare plans and programs for psycho-pedagogical intervention orientated towards improving the teaching-learning process.
  • Become aware of the role of psycho-pedagogical intervention in pre and primary school education.
  • Acquire new professional skills to deal with diversity in education.
