Program
The course of Training Psychology and Professional Development deals with training as a psychological intervention which aim is to change something in the professional competences of workers and employees, with particular care to their relational and transversal competences. As such, training specifically aims at a professional development which does not exclude a personal growth.
The course deals with the following topics:
1. The psychological approach to training (with related characteristics and training methods):
- The psychodynamic model (to get trained means to become aware of the self);
- The behavioral-cognitive model (to get trained means to coach through experience - learning by doing);
- The psycho-social model (to get trained means to learn to be with others and cooperate with them by modelling the behavior).
2. The historical phases of training psychology (with related training methods):
- Diagnostic-aptitude phase;
- Characterological-emotive phase;
- Clinical-dynamic phase;
- Economic-social phase;
- Educational phase;
- Phase of vocational development;
- Phase focused on the person.

Didactic methods
Teaching is held in person through lectures conducted with the support of video projection, classroom readings, case studies and exam examples.
Learning assessment procedures
For foreign students, the exam will be oral. Students must contact the teacher and decide what material to study in order to be prepared to the oral exam.
Evaluation criteria
The first evaluation criterion concerns the demonstrated learning by students of the concepts and contents of the subject, those present in the study material. If students just demonstrate this, their grade will fluctuate between 18 and 21.
The second evaluation criterion concerns the demonstrated ability on the part of students to connect notions and contents to each other and to produce an articulated and reasoned speech with respect to what is asked. If students prove this, their grade will fluctuate between 22 and 26.
The third and final evaluation criterion concerns the demonstrated ability of students to apply intelligently and creatively (which does not mean either imaginative or utopian) what they have learned to real cases of professional training and development in order to achieve real and concrete learning goals, change, well-being, etc. If students prove this, their grade will fluctuate between 27 and 30.
Laude is reserved for those who produce a perfect written assignment in every part that communicates learning, connections, critical thinking and the ability to apply all this to real cases.
I conclude by saying that the grammatical and stylistic correctness with which students offer their answers to the questions also contributes to the final grade.
