| THE COURSE IS DIVIDED INTO 2 MODULES, CALLED "PSYCHOLOGY OF MOTIVATION" (MODULE 1) AND "TEST AND MEASUREMENT IN PSYCHOLOGY" (MODULE 2), EACH MODULE WITH 6 CREDITS (36 HOURS LESSONS + 36 HOURS LESSONS) MODULE 1. THE COURSE AIMS TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL SKILLS AIMED AT UNDERSTANDING THE MAIN THEORETICAL MODELS OF HUMAN MOTIVATION, PARTICULARLY RELEVANT IN EDUCATIONAL, SPORTS AND HEALTH-PROMOTION CONTEXTS. AT THE END OF THE COURSE THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND, USE AND CRITICALLY JUDGE THE MAIN REFERENCE THEORIES, THE UPDATED KNOWLEDGE OF SCIENTIFIC STUDIES CONCERNING THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN MOTIVATION AND STUDY, MOTIVATION AND HEALTH, MOTIVATION AND SPORT, RECOGNIZING THEM CONTEXT-SPECIFIC ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES. EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOMES KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: KNOWING AND UNDERSTANDING THE MAIN THEORETICAL REFERENCE MODELS FOR THE STUDY OF HUMAN MOTIVATION. ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: BEING ABLE TO APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE LEARNED, WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO THE MAIN MOTIVATIONAL THEORIES PARTICULARLY RELEVANT IN EDUCATIONAL, SPORTS AND HEALTH-PROMOTION CONTEXTS. INDEPENDENT JUDGMENT: THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO CRITICALLY EVALUATE THE APPLICATION OF MOTIVATIONAL THEORIES IN EDUCATIONAL, SPORTS AND HEALTH-PROMOTION CONTEXTS. COMMUNICATION SKILLS: THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO CLEARLY PRESENT THEORIES, PROCESSES AND IMPLICATIONS RELATED TO MOTIVATION USING THE SPECIALIZED LANGUAGE OF THE SECTOR. LEARNING SKILLS: THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO INDEPENDENTLY INVESTIGATE THE MAIN THEORETICAL-APPLICATIVE ISSUES CONCERNING MOTIVATION IN EDUCATION, SPORTS AND HEALTH PROMOTION CONTEXTS. MODULE 2. THE COURSE AIMS TO OFFER KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS ON THE THEORIES AND PSYCHOMETRIC MODELS CONCERNING TESTS AND MEASUREMENT IN THE PSYCHOLOGICAL FIELD. TESTS ARE ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT INSTRUMENTS AVAILABLE TO THE PSYCHOLOGISTS AND IT IS INCREASINGLY RELEVANT IN EDUCATIONAL, SPORTS, AND COMMUNITY SETTINGS. AT THE END OF THE COURSE, THE STUDENT WILL ACQUIRE THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS NECESSARY TO EVALUATE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF RELIABLE AND VALID PSYCHOLOGICAL TEST. EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOMES KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: TO KNOW THE MAIN PSYCHOLOGICAL SCALES AND MEASURES AND THEIR USE IN EDUCATIONAL, SPORTS, CLINICAL AND COMMUNITY CONTEXTS. ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: BE ABLE TO APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE LEARNED, WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO THE USE OF SPECIFIC PSYCHOLOGICAL SCALES AND MEASURES IN EDUCATIONAL, SPORTS, CLINICAL AND COMMUNITY CONTEXTS. AUTONOMY OF JUDGMENT: THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO CRITICALLY EVALUATE PSYCHOLOGICAL SCALES AND MEASURES IN EDUCATIONAL, SPORTS, CLINICAL AND COMMUNITY CONTEXTS. COMMUNICATION SKILLS: THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO CLEARLY EXPLAIN THEORIES, METHODS AND PROCESSES CONCERNING PSYCHOLOGICAL MEASUREMENT IN THE EDUCATIONAL, SPORTS, CLINICAL AND COMMUNITY DOMAINS USING THE SPECIALIZED LANGUAGE OF THE SECTOR. LEARNING SKILLS: THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO INDEPENDENTLY DEEPEN THE MAIN SCIENTIFIC AND METHODOLOGICAL ISSUES REGARDING THE MEASUREMENT OF PERCEPTIONS, ATTITUDES, MOTIVATION, AND BEHAVIORS IN EDUCATIONAL, SPORTS, CLINICAL AND COMMUNITY CONTEXTS. |
