Prerequisites
Once the candidate has access to the master’s degree there are no further pre-requisites for this module.
Objectives and Contextualisation
The structure of the module is common to both itineraries so its content and development are related to both the common and specific modules corresponding to each itinerary.
The practical module has two distinct but complementary parts. The work that the student carries out throughout the module must connect with the reality of the profession and for this reason, much of the work is developed, to a large extent, in an educational center (school).
Firstly, the candidate must get to know the reality of a school, its functions, structure, and organization; the candidate must also integrate him/herself into the life and activities of the school. Secondly, the candidate will have to participate within a determined context in order to carry out group work and individual activities they prepare for their students. The work candidates do both in the theoretical and practical stages must enable them to implement the skills necessary for their professional development with the help of their tutors and practical coordinators. It would be advisable for candidates to do their practical sessions at a secondary school or in a team of psycho-pedagogical counselors (for those students who come from the itinerary of formal education).

Content
The module is structured in the following blocks:
BLOCK 1: Observations of practical sessions in a school or educational center.
The first phase of the practical component is to take place at a school / educational center so that the master´s candidate can get to know the institution and its environment, the details of its curriculum and syllabus, the general organization of the center, and how it operates. The master's candidate also needs to experience how a school manages its educational resources including the quality of the service it provides and the work of the professionals in the field of psycho-pedagogy that work with the school. The master's candidate will work in close collaboration with the professionals in the planning and implementation phases of psycho-pedagogical activities.
Dates: from January, the 23rd, to February, the 3rd.
BLOCK 2: Teaching practice in a school or educational center.
The second phase of the traineeship will take place at a school/educational center and will serve to complete observation practices and the analysis of the characteristics of professional psycho-pedagogy associated with the educational institution. During this phase, the master's candidate will also carry out psycho-pedagogical activities accompanied by a professional which may also include participation in educational/training projects. This intervention will must be designed, implemented, and assessed by the master's candidate under the supervision of the psycho-pedagogical professional at the school the candidate is assigned to and his/her university supervisor
Dates: from February, the 6th, to May until the required number of hours is reached.
The timetable will be agreed on with the school where the master's candidate will do his/her traineeship and with the approval of the university supervisor.
Methodology
From a multivariate methodological point of view, the strategies to be used will include:
- Didactic proposals.
- Comments and/or literature review
- Specialized individual or group tutorials
- Monographic projects.
- Self-observation and analysis of psycho-pedagogical practice.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.
