Class Dissertation Project in Psychology of Justice

This curricular unit aims to promote the practical training of knowledge about research procedures, namely in terms of planning, reasoning and structuring an empirical study. The syllabus presented was selected and organized in order to promote sustained learning, but also because it is important for students to continue their studies and to be able to develop a master's thesis later. They will be taught through the use of a variety of methodologies, in order to promote the deepening of theoretical knowledge, but essentially its applied training.

Teaching methodologies (TM) include Project-Based Learning (TM1), in which students develop effective research projects by applying knowledge and skills. Team-based learning (TBL) (TM2) is also used. This integrates students into research groups, where they can share knowledge and learn directly from experienced researchers. Experiential learning (TM3) allows them to acquire knowledge and skills through participation in meetings and project development. Structured mentoring (TM4) is another central methodology in which students are integrated into research teams under the direct supervision of mentors, who monitor the development of specific skills and the progression of projects. The seminar uses an interactive exhibition (TM5) that combines the transmission of solid knowledge with the enrichment provided by dialogue and practice.
