Méthodes et pratiques de l'entretien en sciences psychologiques, de l'éducation et en logopédie

The course includes two learning activities

Students must register for the TP groups (TP 24h and TP 12h) via the UV. The deadlines for registration are specified on the UV

• Methods and practices of the clinical interview (24h)

Students will develop clinical interview practices through role plays by mobilising:

- Welcome, listening, observation and feedback skills

- Structuring skills: analysis of the request and the contextual framework, interview guidelines, distance, synthesis, closure

- Support skills: reformulation, recognition, silence tolerance

- Interpretative skills: subjectivity, empathy, reflexivity, confrontation, ethics...
 

• Methods and practices of the research interview (12h)

Students will develop research interview practices: construction of hypotheses, methodology, interview outline, data collection, by mobilising the skills mentioned above. From the definition of a research question and hypotheses, students will proceed to the elaboration of an interview plan, contextual framework, realisation of two interviews in the field (external), content analysis of the collected data, individual and collective reflective analysis, writing of a report.

Introduce students to interviewing methods and practices (preparation, conduct of interviews and data analysis and interpretation)

Manage these methods and practices within the framework of concrete situation

Required and Corequired knowledge and skills

Good knowledge of French

Knowledge of the major fields fundamentals of psychological sciences, educational sciences and speech therapy

Required and corequired courses

• Methods and practices of the clinical interview (24h)

Practical training aimed at developing interviewing practices focusing on the person and the interaction management (welcome, support, consultation, reflection, openness, empathy, management of silences and non-verbal...). This part also includes the integration of a testing tool into the clinical interview.

Active participation: case studies and vignettes, observation of videos, role-playing in front of the group, role-playing in sub-groups, pre- and post-session personal work

• Methods and practices of the research interview (12h)

Practical work aimed at developing research-oriented interviewing practices: construction of hypotheses, interview framework, data collection and analysis of information gathered through interviews. This part will be based on the interviewing practices experienced in the Clinical Interviewing part (24h)

• Be aware of the role of subjectivity when describing and analysing phenomena or data.

Learn about the process of scientific research

• Identify the various epistemological paradigms and theoretical frameworks used in research
• Identify and select relevant sources in relation to a research question
• Formulate a research hypothesis based on logical arguments

Method(s) of evaluation

• Other

Other

Any absence must be duly justified (medical certificate, strike, etc.) to the assistant.

In case of multiple absences (more than one absence), the student will be sanctioned.

The student concerned should send an email to his/her assistant and to the academic coordinator to inform them of his/her situation. The sanctions may range from the completion of additional work to a ban on further participation in Practical work sessions. In the latter case, the student will not be able to validate the UE in 2021-2022. The student will have to follow the TP during the following academic year.

The evaluation will take into account:

• active participation during the sessions
• the submission and quality of "homework" (on the UV) throughout the TP. The expectations and deadlines for each "homework" will be specified by each assistant.

The detailed conditions of the continuous assessment will be explained by each assistant during the first session of the course.

Mark calculation method (including weighting of intermediary marks)

A partial note will be given for the Clinical Interview Practices part and for the Research Interview Practices part. These partial notes will be determined on the basis of the continuous assessments (participation and "homework").

If both partial notes are equal to or higher than 8/20, the final note will be calculated by geometric mean, each partial note being weighted at 50%.

If one or both of the partial notes are lower than 8/20 or if the student is not allowed to continue participating in the TP (multiple absences), the student will not be able to validate the UE.

In the event of failure in the first session, the student who has met the mandatory attendance requirements may submit a supplementary report in the second session in order to improve his/her failed partial note(s).

However, if a student does not meet the mandatory attendance requirements, he/she will not be able to submit a supplementary report and will not receive credit for the course in the second session.
