The course unit of Psychology belongs to the basic training of the Degree in Primary Education (Teaching). It consists of the subjects of Developmental Psychology, Educational Psychology and Learning and developmental disorders. This course unit is between the first and second year, in order to establish the basis on which future teachers will be able to understand the characteristics of their students, their evolutionary process, the process of learning from a comprehensive and global perspective, supported by a set of approaches and theories, as well as knowledge management and understanding of the main developmental and learning problems, and attention to diversity and individuality.
