Changes in psychology

I am usually not very aware of the discussions about the psychology career, however I think when it comes to the curriculum mesh it is very important to know what is going to happen. The last thing I hear is that in the assemblies has been discussed about taking some subjects and adding others, the subjects that I wanted to remove were philosophy, anthropology and sociology, from my point of view leaving out subjects like anthropology and sociology is not a good idea, because Both subjects offer us another way of seeing our study subject and in future our patient, since they teach us how culture and society affect people, besides teaching us how to study it, methods such as ethnography are very important. Other options in terms of changes within the career are that they are seeing the possibility of changing the order in which we have to take the subjects, for example taking the subject of basic psychological processes in the first semester instead of the second. In addition there is the possibility of introducing more subjects in relation to psychometry.
Another very important issue is that within the career there are very few instances where we can do practical work, that is, there are very few times when we have contacts with patients, communities or people in general, most of the work is theoretical and so there are not real instances that  prepares us for practice before we graduate. I think it would be very useful if the subjects were reformulated to generate more practical instances. Anyway I'll have to wait and see what happens.

    I am totally of accord with you! I think that all the career should have more practical work that theoretical work!
    And also I think that learn the methods and make ethnographic is very important for all the career of the Social Science!

  5. Hi Javiera. I'm very agree with you with respect to the practice work, because it necessary in all the careers to have practice since first year(like happen in Education), because the future professional must be know the reality in your area. Bye!

  6. Hi! I think the good of social science is that all can be related, and anthropology and sociology is necessary for the general formation, as we in Anthropology need psychology and sociology.
