Abstract text:
We present a detailed overview of the Gamma.R3 Version of the ICUP Model
developed by the International Collaboration on Undergraduate Psychology Outcomes
(ICUPO). It consists of 24 competence statements grouped into seven competence
categories: two core, (1) Psychological Knowledge and (2) Psychological Research
Methodologies and Methods, and five Psychology-relevant: (3) Values and Ethics; (4)
Cultural Responsiveness and Diversity; (5) Critical Thinking and Problem Solving; (6)
Communication and Interpersonal Skills; and (7) Personal and Professional
Development. We describe the principles that guided the drafting of these competences,
and we present the competences for each category. Examples of competence-aligned
teaching and assessment strategies and related educational resources are provided.
Finally, the presenters will elicit feedback from the attendees, particularly regarding the
competence model, the potential adaptation to local context, and processes to share
resources to support such adaptation.
