Learning Outcomes of the Curricular Unit:
To integrate scientific knowledges and methodology of research abilities that garantee autonomy in conception, plannning, executation and evaluation of empirical research projects in the domain of communication and information sciences.
Syllabus:
Theoretical and methodological problems of research in the domain of communication and information sciences. Strategies of bibliographical and web research. Guide for the design of a research project. Main strategies, methods and techniques of research. Presentation of results in scientific research.
Demonstration of the Syllabus Coherence with the Curricular Unit's Objectives:
In Unit I there is descriptive and organized exposition in theoretical and practical classes and its contents sare also explored in tutorial orientations that allow students to organize readings and specific knowledges in the different settings of justice intervention. In Unit II, more practical, in a first phase there is a theoretical exposition about constructive conflict management perspective, as well as training practical abilities involved in that process. In Unit III it is presented the main concepts about negotiation and there also is the training of negotiation abilities in practical cases. In Unit IV it is exposed the main concepts about cognitive biases in negotiation and mediation processes in the relation offender-victim. In Unit V there is exposition about mediation as an alternative form of conflict resolution, as well as training of the practical abilities involved in the process offender-victim.
Teaching Methodologies (Including Evaluation):
Continuous and Final
Demonstration of the Coherence between the Teaching Methodologies and the Learning Outcomes:
The proposed methodologies are coherent with the formulated objectives for the discipline since they bet in the development of oriented study, in a way that students can apply knowledge and can show ability of comprehension about conflict, constructive conflict management, negotiation and mediation and its application in "justice of proximity". On the other hand, we also seek that students know how to select different techniques of constructive conflict management in different settings, showing to be able of apply the theoretical knowledge in practical cases. We try to establish a certain parallelism between theory and practice applied to real problems , aiming to develop the ability of the student to a critical and self-critical attitude.
