Hello,

I am a student of psychology and the curriculum of my career could be divided into three parts: basic cycle, specialization cycle and final year.

In the basic cycle we studied introductory subjects to the career such as philosophy, anthropology, sociology, quantitative methodology, among others, which aim  to make known the epistemological and disciplinary influences that allowed the emergence of psychology in the context of modernity, as a science whose object of study, in general, is the human psyche and the behavior of individuals.

In this sense, the basic cycle provides us tools that allow us to understand the field of action of psychology. This cycle ends in the second year. During the third year begin the specialization cycle , in this cycle the subjects aims to provide a look at the different lines of psychology taught at the University of Chile, such as clinical, labor, legal and social-community psychology. Finally, a long of fifth year start the thesis, practice, and diploma course with the aim of focusing more specifically on any of the areas of psychology named previously

One of the main difficulties that can be identified in this program is the imbalance in terms of the relevance of certain lines within the career, for example, the experimental line is an area that can be promotes little and that has a condition of being a little "useful" area for psychology. On the other hand, the teaching methods, as in other careers, are still not very inclusive and focused on the achieve of the measurable objectives through qualifications.

At the  beginnings,  the ability of this discipline was emphasized to postpone the death , in the short or long term, through  techniques and theoretical developments on their vision of the human being. Currently, medicine and technological developments are closely related to the biomedical market. This little coincidence, has generated that the maintenance of a living body was the medical priority, in most cases supporting this purpose under the argument of medical duty and it’s responsibility over life, generating an increase in the demand for imaging tests, pharmacological, surgical and medical supplies. This becomes into a very fortunate relationship for this market. T...

postgradute studies

Currently i study psychology and although my interests are varied I could say that I would like to do something related to education and cognitive neuroscience. These two themes are quite complementary and it is a field that is currently under development. One of the reasons to do a postgraduate is to be able to specialize in the development of strategies, methods and instruments that facilitate learning processes in universities, which allow the learning experience to be fun and enriching. In this sense, a theme that could be addressed from these two lines is the inclusion of people in a situation of disability, allowing to improve access to information and ensure the participation of all. A second reason to do a postgraduate study is to be able to continue learning different things, but in a more specific way in the line of my interests. On the other hand it is a formal requirement to be able to devote part of my time to teaching in universities in the future. Traveling i...
