Aims, Skills and Learning Outcomes

1. To provide master's students with a teaching space that allows them to consolidate the knowledge, particularly methodological knowledge, that is indispensable for carrying out their dissertation project, project work or internship report and that is indispensable for the future development of the work they are supervising.
2. Acquire the ability to critically analyse the coherence between the action models adopted, the institutional responses, the needs of individuals and groups and the results achieved, comparing intervention models and practices with the results achieved in combating social isolation, symbolic devaluation and cultural alienation of the elderly.
3. Support the preparation of the supervised work project for the end of the master's programme.

Programme

1. Drawing up research/intervention projects
1.1 Deepening fundamental theoretical syntheses on ageing as a social phenomenon and object of intervention.
1.2 Drawing up research hypotheses and translating them into action hypotheses
1.3 Constructing instruments for collecting and processing information
1.4 Experimenting with intervention models adjusted to "active ageing"
2. Problems of applying intervention methodologies
3. Evaluation and development of an organisational culture open to reflexivity

Demonstration of the syllabus coherence with the curricular unit's learning objectives

This research seminar is designed to deepen theoretical, procedural and practical skills to ensure that diagnoses are made and interventions are carried out that qualify the social reality of older people, based on professional exercises that break with stereotyped and traditional ways of operating in organisations that intervene in old age in the most diverse contexts.
The link between the topics of the final supervised work that the seminar supports and the lines of research defined by the ISSSP's Centre for Research in Social Work Sciences also ensures the necessary conditions for students to acquire academic specialisation through research (dissertation), innovation (project work) or deepening of professional skills (internship), in all cases accompanied by highly personalised supervision.

Learning Methods

The social phenomenon of ageing articulates processes that, due to the diversity of dimensions it involves, call for the development of multiple and disciplinarily diverse reflections.
This complex and multidimensional nature of the phenomenon of ageing could not fail to be reflected in the teaching methodology of this seminar, as a subject that is indispensable for carrying out the final supervised work. In fact, the dissertation, project work or internship seminar works through the contribution of ISSSP professors and guest professors to present various curricular subjects.
This teaching methodology also implements a knowledge assessment consisting of the completion and presentation, for debate, of an individual end-of-semester assignment in the area of social gerontology applied to Portuguese society, in order to exercise the theoretical and practical knowledge obtained.

Continuous Assessment

According to the Knowledge Assessment Regulations (RAC) (Article 9, Chapter II - Assessment Schemes), the Dissertation/Project Work/Internship Seminar course is compulsory continuous assessment, so students may only miss a maximum of 25 per cent of the total number of classes in this course (according to Article 10(7) of the RAC).

The assessment of this CU will be the result of the following weightings:
1. Attendance and active participation in classes (record of attendance at seminars) (20%)
2. Completion of an individual written assignment (Pre-project) (80%)


Proofs and special works

In accordance with the ISSSP Regulations for 2nd Cycle Courses (Master's Degree).

Special Assessment (TE, DA, ...)

In accordance with the ISSSP Regulations for 2nd Cycle Courses (Master's Degree).

Improvement of final grade

In accordance with the ISSSP Regulations for 2nd Cycle Courses (Master's Degree).

Demonstration of the coherence between the teaching methodologies and the learning outcomes

The end of this 2nd cycle of studies involves a final piece of work. In order to complete it, master's students have to present a project that constitutes a first approach to the path they intend to follow to complete the master's degree, namely a scientific dissertation, an internship or a project. Any of these options is autonomous but supervised work. This supervised work should also reflect the multidisciplinary nature of the ageing phenomenon in its theoretical construction or in its diagnosis of the problem situation.
The dissertation, project work or internship seminar therefore features teaching methods which, by combining multidisciplinary exposition with collective problematisation of the curricular subjects, consolidate the conditions for carrying out the final supervised work, as well as for the prior presentation of the aforementioned supervised work project.
