A method for autonomous and meaningful learning

The University of Deusto learning model (MAUD)

Experiential context

It is based on the idea that a person’s learning lies in his/her previous conceptions or preconceptions, ideas, experiences; that is on his/her personal and academic background context and own social context. In this first step, you will be introduced to the question to be developed in order to get a first overall idea of the topic.

Reflective observation

The aim of this stage is to encourage students to ask questions, to ask themselves, as there cannot be significant learning if one does not ask oneself or questions about it.

Conceptualisation

The next step is to help students gain insight into the theoretical approaches to the topics under study. We will bring you closer to the theory that has been developed in a specific scientific area. However, the focus is not on learning by memorising but learning based on the use and application of cognitive skills such as understanding, analytical and synthetic thinking, critical judgement, divergent thinking, which will provide students a comprehensive and significant learning.

Active experimentation

This fourth learning stage focuses on the theory and practice relationship. This stage includes those activities that promote the development of students’ skills and competences in the application of concepts, theories or models so that they can gain a deeper understanding of how to solve problems or design or implement a model or strategy.

Assessment

Assessment must be understood in different ways. First of all, it is a phase that will make you think and confront you with what you have learned. Moreover, this phase has a focus on learning as the feedback obtained will help you to progress and advance. Finally, it is also the time for the assessment of the performance achieved, which leads to an academic qualification and accredits an acquired level of competence.

How is learning assessed?

Assessment system

Three indicatorswill be taken into account to assess the progress and learning outcomes of the degree programme:

Assessment system to measure the acquisition of competences related to the different subjects.
Assessment of the external internships undertaken by students each academic year by academic and professional tutors.
Outcome of the Master’s Final Project.

Master’s Final Project

What does it consist of?

The Master’s Final Project is an empirical research project.

Through this research project, students must demonstrate that they are familiar with research techniques and methodology. They should also demonstrate that they know how to apply them to a specific topic in accordance with the specific requirements of a research project in the psychology field.

What does it involve?

Students are required to develop a research project in which they will apply the knowledge and competences acquired throughout the programme. The topic must be related to a specific subject area covered during the Master’s degree programme.

As it is important to produce a rigorous research project, specific training in the methods required to carry out this task is essential, so that students can learn about the tools, techniques, instruments, etc. necessary to complete the Master's Final Project.
