The main goal of our research is to provide educational solutions for people with learning and social difficulties, young people or adults for whom a better adaptation depends on the acquisition and the development of skills that promote their autonomy.
We aim to propose interventions to help and support these individuals or those who accompany them. The educational approach combine contributions from cognitive, social, differential and developmental psychology. Our research is structured in four topics:
1 - Fighting against school dropout
2 - Overcoming parental vulnerability
3 - Supporting the elderly and caregivers
4 - Promoting the inclusion of people with disabilities or in vulnerable situations
The concept of social cognition as well as the social-cognitive approaches to self-efficacy and motivation, constitute a common foundation for the four topics.
