Learning Outcomes
Based on a paradigm of Applied Developmental Psychology, this unit seeks, fundamentally, to equip students with a developmental perspective on intervention with children and adolescents.
Specific objectives are:
- To strengthen an ecological perspective on the Human Development process;
- To develop the capacity to analyze some problems and particularities of certain development contexts and to elaborate specific intervention plans, which are developmentally informed;
- To know strategies and programs of intervention/prevention in the developmental process and in some contexts of development of the child and the adolescent, based on evidence.
