Psychopedagogical support
Introduction
The Equality and Diversity Service’s psychological and educational counselling team supports our University’s students’ continued learning process through prevention and intervention in both the educational and social fronts. The student support work has the following general objectives:
- Promoting the enrichment of our students’ experience at a personal level as well as academic.
- Promoting students’ involvement in their own learning process.
- Training students to improve their learning and performing educational and university transition advisement activities.
Lines of action
This support service structures its professional work in two lines of action: assistance and specific programme development. Regarding our assistance task, we refer to direct individualised intervention towards the UAB’s students that experience difficulty in their learning processes. We carry out this task by offering attention, accompaniment or support, depending on the needs that arise.
The specific programme work allows, on one hand, to detect and analyse the student’s complaints that lead to academic failure and, on the other hand, to design and carry out actions addressing the transition to university, university withdrawal and helping the student with integration, personal development and educational guidance.
More specifically, from a prevention and intervention standpoint, we work in the following fronts:
- Teacher Counselling and Training
- Emergency aid
- Monitoring the UAB Tutorial Action Plan
- Educational psychology counselling for students with learning dificulties
- Coordinating the ICE’s “Brúixola” transition programme
- Collaborating with the Ítaca-Santander grant programme
- Support for singular projects and transversal actions
