HENKLAIN, Marcelo H. O.  and  MUNIZ, Monalisa. Proposing learning objectives for an introductory course in Psychological Assessment. Aval. psicol. [online]. 2022, vol.21, n.2, pp. 215-226. ISSN 1677-0471.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15689/ap.2022.2102.19477.09.

The aim was to characterize behaviors that should constitute an introductory course in Psychological Assessment. We adopted the identification, derivation and decomposition procedures from the literature proposed by the Behavior Analysis subarea called Programming Conditions for Behavior Development. Initially, a review of the literature was conducted from which the main sources consulted for the characterization of behaviors were identified: Nunes et al. (2012) and Muniz (2017), which describe 27 competences for teaching psychological assessment in undergraduate Psychology. From these competences, five were selected from which we proposed 94 professional behaviors. This analysis contributes to clarify the learning objectives of psychological assessment, which is useful for improving the teaching of Psychology and psychologists' training.

Keywords : higher education; psychologist training; psychological assessment.
