Psychology of Adolescence and Contexts of Development

FLUP0325 - ECTS INTRODUCTION
This subject will seek to analyse the psychological and developmental processes during adolescence, in light of the central role played by developmental contexts (family, communal, social, political, economic, etc.) in their evolution. Based on an ecological and developmental model of human development and a theoretical framework which emphasizes the historical and social variables characteristic of adolescence and its development, students will explore some of the major themes of psychology of adolescence which are relevant to initial teacher training, such as: development in puberty and its psychological implications, the adolescent's relationships with the family, school and peers, vocational development and transition to the world of work, leisure activities and processes of psychological adaptation founding the transitions experienced during adolescence.

- Analyse adolescent development in light of socio-historical limitations;
- Relate the impact of life contexts on psychological processes and development during adolescence;
- Anticipate situations related with the behaviour of adolescents in the educational context.

Psychology of Emotions and Communication

FLUP0326 - ECTS INTRODUCTION:
The study of emotions, object of considerable developments in the last few years, is now a highly relevant, wide-ranging field in psychology. At the basis of all communication, including the verbal, there are non-verbal processes, based on emotions and their expression. The school context is, undoubtedly, a privileged area for different communicational exchanges, namely the emotional. On the other hand, non-verbal communication, found in emotional exchanges, forms the developmental basis of all subsequent verbal communication. Therefore, this knowledge is today essential in both teacher training and school intervention processes, as it promotes the students' social and emotional development.

GENERAL AIMS:
• Introduction to Psychology of Emotions and Communication and its relevance in teacher training;
• Identification of the basic concepts within this field of knowledge;
• Analysis of its implications in the teaching process;
• Relate these basic notions with an understanding of social interaction;
• Application of these concepts to school situations, in promoting the students' social and emotional development

Without ignoring the pragmatic dimension of curricular theory, both in terms of organization and development, it seemed important to highlight its theoretical component. This option follows a line of thought in education according to which teachers should associate research and reflection to their teaching practice.
Teachers need to have a sound theoretical basis so as to conduct research in the field of education, where plural ‘black boxes’ persist demanding further research.

Analysis of School Organizations

In a time of transition between millennia, the institution school has become a strategic area for the implementation of the educational system and for curricular and pedagogic innovation.

This subject aims at guiding students in a programmatic and pragmatic process that will enable them to reflect on, discuss and research about school organization, particularly in the administrative, professional, curricular and pedagogic areas and the Portuguese educational system.
In school management, it is possible to identify the principles of social participation in decision-making, decentralization of educational structures, curricular contexts – both at the level of the school and the class, their pedagogical, cultural and administrative autonomy and the construction of a specific systemic and educational structural identity.
The main objective is to teach future teachers, before starting their career, about the school administration. This study will be focussed on the analytic-research process of educational policies, supported by the necessary theoretical, methodological, normative and functional frameworks.
A strong investment in school organization training is necessary, so students will be able to reflect on the education system and academic curricula, emphasizing the problematic, complex and situational nature of decision-making and educational practices.

Perspectives of Educational Systems

FLUP0817 - ECTS I. FRAMEWORK
This subject offers a formative space and time open to reflection on the systemic organization of education in Portugal and relevance of systemic methodology as applied within the school context.
The perspectives here considered are predominantly those of the Portuguese educational intra-system. However, an inter-national perspective of educational systems will not be disregarded, with a view to finding explanatory models and of the structuring of these educational models.
The conceptual fundaments of the systemic approach will be analyzed as processes of knowledge, conception, intervention and evaluation of the pedagogical relationship and of curriculum development. From this point of view, the systemic approach to education will also be oriented through its more technological component in a double sense: as tools at the service of existing curricula; as proposals for altering the rationalities and contents of those very curricula.
The teachers’ skills and competencies, as regards the management of learning situations within the classroom context, are put to the test time and time again. This subject views to construct active, innovating and ordered educational work environments.
