There are no prerequisites but it would be useful for students who want to take this course to have an interest in the educational area of psychology.
This course is part of the specialization in Psychoeducational Analysis and Intervention and aims to train future professionals capable of supporting learning processes and educational transformation in diverse contexts.
In response to the educational challenges of the 21st century (information management, autonomy, teamwork, critical thinking, inclusion, and digitalization), it is essential for students to develop strategies to analyze, design, and implement meaningful and sustainable educational practices. Within this framework, the course incorporates methodologies such as Service-Learning (ApS), educational Partnership, and the use of generative artificial intelligence as a support tool for active and collaborative learning.
The specific objectives are:
To understand the concept of learning and coping strategies in response to critical incidents, and to analyze their role in educational practice.
To explore and assess methodologies that foster meaningful learning, the development of competences, and the resolution of challenging or conflictive classroom situations.
To become familiar with and apply strategic teaching methods, the design of Critical Incident Analysis guidelines (PANIC), and other student-centered pedagogical resources.
To critically and ethically integrate generative artificial intelligenceas a tool to support thinking, cooperative work organization, and decision-making in formal learning contexts.
To develop and present a real or simulated psychoeducational advisory project in collaboration with an educational center, demonstrating the acquired knowledge and competences while incorporating technological tools and principles of equity, personalization, and inclusion.
This course involves participation in a Service-Learning (ApS) project. These socially engaged projects allow students to develop professionally by contributing to real needs in a community and helping to improve people’s quality of life or the environment.

The course is based on an active, collaborative, and experiential methodology, focused on the development of learning strategies through case analysis, critical reflection, and the resolution of real or simulated educational situations. Cooperative teamwork is encouraged, as well as Service-Learning (ApS) as a tool to connect theoretical content with professional practice. In addition, the use of generative artificial intelligence is integrated as a cognitive and metacognitive support resource throughout the process.
The methodological approach is framed within an educational Partnership perspective, where both teaching staff and students share responsibility in the construction of knowledge, decision-making, and the evaluation of the learning process.
Sessions combine spaces for collective construction, reading and discussion of texts, practical activities, classroom dynamics, and autonomous work. Students take on an active and reflective role throughout the course, developing both individual and group-based learning evidences.
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.

Assessment in this course is continuous, formative, and competency-based, and is structured around various learning evidences that reflect both the process and the outcomes of student learning. These evidences combine individual and group work and include activities of analysis, reflection, creation, and practical application of content. Below are the assessment tasks and the types of feedback that students will receive:
EV1 – Individual Portfolio (15%)
A reflective and personal record of the learning process throughout the course. It connects practical experiences, theoretical content, and competency development. Individual written feedback will be provided through the virtual classroom each week. In addition, general issues will be addressed in theory sessions, and individual tutorials may be requested for specific concerns.
EV2 – Critical Incident Video (group, 30%)
Collaborative audiovisual production portraying a significant educational situation, analyzed using the PANIC guideline. It enables students to apply knowledge related to coping and psychoeducational strategies. Group written feedback will be provided, and the team may request a group tutorial if needed in week 9.
EV3 – Psychoeducational Advisory Project (group, 35%)
Design of an advisory proposal based on a real or fictional case, integrating theoretical concepts, intervention models, and practicaltools. This is the main evidence of cooperative work. Written feedback will be given both via the virtual classroom and in person during practice sessions. Group tutorials will also be available for follow-up and deeper guidance.
EV4 – Oral Presentation of the Advisory Project (group, 15%)
Presentation of the project to the class, using visual resources and effective communication. Clarity, coherence, and argumentative quality are assessed. Immediate feedback will be offered in the classroom at the end of the presentations and later complemented with written feedback through the virtual classroom at week 15.
EV5 – Final Individual Synthesis (5%)
Personal final reflection on the learning experience, connecting the acquired knowledge with the course objectives and professional development. Individual written feedback will be provided via the virtual classroom at week 19. Students may also request a tutorial for more personalized comments.
All evidences must be submitted within the established deadlines to be assessed. Active participation, commitment to cooperative work, and the reflective quality of the submissions will be key elements in the evaluation.
Assessment criteria:
Course NOT Assessable: those who have submitted evidence of learning with a weight of less than 40% of the final grade will be recorded as "Not assessable".
Course PASSED: the course will be considered passed if the student has submitted all mandatory evidences within the established deadlines and has obtained a final grade equal to or higher than 4.85 (out of 10), calculated as the weighted average of all assessment evidences.
Criteria for REMEDIATION: students who have not met the criteria established to pass the subject and who have been evaluated in a set of evidence with a minimum weight of 2/3 of the total grade for the subject may opt for recovery.
This course does not include a single final assessment, as the learning process is based on continuous, participatory evaluation supported by multiple evidences, which reflect both individual progress and group contribution. The course design follows an active and cooperative methodology that requires sustained engagement throughout the semester, making it unfeasible to assess learning through a single final exam. This structure allows for a more accurate and meaningful assessment of key competences such ascritical thinking, shared decision-making, self-regulation, and the ability to apply knowledge in practical and real-life contexts. For more information, you can review the Faculty's Evaluation Guidelines. Similarly, the subject does not include a Synthesis Test.
In this course, the use of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools is permitted as support in certain learning activities, provided that their use is responsible, transparent, and aligned with the educational objectives of the course. The final result of any activity must reflect a meaningful, personal, and critical contribution from the student. If AI tools are used, students must clearly identify the parts generated with these technologies, specify which tools were employed, and include a critical reflection on how they influenced both the process and the final outcome. The undeclared use of AI, or its use as a substitute for personal development of the work, will be considered academic dishonesty and may result in a penalty in the activity grade or, in severe cases, sanctions according to the academic regulations of theUniversitat Autònoma de Barcelona.
