Contents

The contents of this course called: "Psychological bases: individual and social environment",  include the psychological processes that support the teaching and learning process, the understanding, analysis and evaluation of personal and social identity, the interpretation of social reality in the different environments and the study of the factors that determine group behaviour.

To explain and predict the functioning of the mind and behaviour, psychology starts from the individual as being unique, master of their perceptions, emotional experiences, judgments and decisions, which will ultimately depend on the social circumstances that surround and urge them towards psychosocial adaptive development.
