— LEARNING METHODS

Evidence-Based Education It requires more than just delivering content.

At ITCCN, each strategy fulfills a function: investigate real problems, train skills in practice, experience in structured environments, and critically evaluate scientific reading.

01

Problem-Based Learning - PBL

Complex problems organize learning. The student identifies what needs to be understood, investigates evidence, and constructs responses with teacher mediation.

02

Deliberate Practice

Specific goals, repeated practice, and feedback make improvement more intentional, guiding the next steps of learning.

03

Skills Lab

It combines demonstration, simulation, guided practice, and feedback. It is in this that deliberate practice takes shape in planned activities.

04

Journal Club

Articles are discussed with criteria for examining methods, results, limitations, and their professional applicability.

Clarity to help you choose
your next step.

You can take part in activities aimed at psychology students, such as undergraduate research and training programmes that include undergraduates amongst their participants. These opportunities allow you to complement your studies, gain an insight into research and develop knowledge relevant to your future career. Before making your choice, check the recommended audience, the knowledge required and any requirements regarding the stage of your degree programme.

The first step is to choose a programme that fits in with your available time. As well as the sessions, bear in mind the time needed for reading, practical activities and assessments. Before enrolment, check the timetable, the course format and the attendance requirements. Where there are asynchronous activities or recorded sessions, also check the deadlines for completion and access. This will enable you to plan a study routine that you can maintain throughout the course.

Start by thinking about what you want to develop. A training course can help you explore a specific topic or skill in greater depth; a postgraduate degree offers a broader path to specialisation; supervision focuses on the demands of professional practice; and undergraduate research brings you closer to the world of research. Compare the objectives, content, activities and requirements of each programme with your current needs.

Understanding the theory is one part of this process. Developing clinical skills also involves practising, receiving guidance and reviewing one’s own performance. The ITCCN’s educational approach combines scientific evidence, guided activities, deliberate practice and feedback to develop professional competencies. The aim is to help you recognise what you are already able to do, identify areas for improvement and guide the next steps in your learning.

A training course usually focuses on a particular topic or skill. Postgraduate programmes have academic entry requirements, and you must have completed your undergraduate degree; the certificate of completion is recognised by the Ministry of Education (MEC) as a specialisation course. A research programme brings you closer to research and scientific output. The details of each programme should be checked individually.

Start with the basics: asking good questions, finding reliable sources and understanding what conclusions can be drawn from a study. You don’t need to master every method to begin this learning process. Look for introductory activities that match your level of experience and progress gradually. Guided reading and discussion of articles, as proposed by the Journal Club, help you to explore methods, results, limitations and possible implications for practice.

Scientific research is a way of learning how to conduct research. You do not need to have mastered every stage before you begin: turning an interest into a researchable question is part of that learning process. Check the entry requirements to see whether prior experience or an initial research proposal is required. As you familiarise yourself with the programme, take note of how supervision works, how research topics are defined and how research activities are carried out.

The certificate programme and the criteria for obtaining it are specific to each programme. Check the course load, the awarding institution, and the requirements for participation and completion. To use the certificate towards supplementary hours, please check your faculty’s rules in advance: recognition depends on the institution’s assessment and criteria, and is not automatic.
