One or two work group teachers in the course Research Project 1 (RP1) for Psychologists. In this course you will teach communication skills and research skills that students require to successfully participate in academic programmes and, later on, function as scientist practitioners.
Through a wide range of tasks and activities, you will train students in the above-mentioned skills on the basis of a fixed psychological topic, involving your area of expertise. This topic is related to one of the three main domains in psychology that are being studied at Radboud University: Brain and Cognition, Development and Mental Health, and Behaviour and Environment.
The course RP1 both consist of an intensive educational programme in which you will weekly supervise 2-hour workgroup meetings with a maximum of 20 students per group (you will supervise two or three groups: 0.35 FTE or 0.45 FTE respectively); possibly more in an agreed period of time. In addition, a substantial part of your task will consist of assessing interim and final products. You will also function as a mentor, i.e. keep track of students’ study progress.
Weekly work meetings will be held with fellow teachers and the coordinators of the RP1 course on Thursday afternoon. Work group meetings take place from Monday to Wednesday.
