Group dynamics and group methods

Psychology of learning and psychopedagogic models constitute essential and key ingredients to properly understand an educative intervention. Learning can actually be defined as a group of processes that enable us to modify and elaborate specific behavioural skills (Martí, 2012). These abilities improve our adaptation to the environment and enable us to respond more efficiently, with new skills, knowledge or actions, to our daily demands. This, at the same time, helps improving our cognitive skills. Along the XX century, psychological models referring to the learning processes have become key elements for the development of educative trainings, since they provide a wide range of interpretative frames. From these underlying theories arise the didactic principles that guide the educative training.
