Description of the Lecture Aims and objectives of the course The overall aim of the course is to examine the role of the social relationships in the organisations and groups and is to demonstrate that these relational dimensions have to be taken into account up-training sessions. It will look at the interactions and conflicts between sub-groups of organisations, and the psychological barriers to collective work. Another aim is to undertake in what conditions the psychosocial process play a role in individual and collective decisions. Competences After the course, students should be able: -To identify the main evolutions of the social representations regarding the “man at work” - To review the informal dimensions of the organisations and their effects in the daily work - To take into account the main psychosocial process driving the life groups and relationships in the work context - To produce adequate behaviours when leading meetings or groups facilitation. Content This seminar will deal with psychosocial analysis of two main contexts which must be taken into account in the framework of training of adults activities: organizations and groups. A first part of the course will focused on organizations, particularly on their structure. Sociological and psychosocial models will be introduced in order to understand the current issues of training of adults in companies. We will introduce the organizational contexts of socialization and their effects on the newcomers and generally, on young adults integration. A second part of the course will concern the groups dynamics highlighted with a psychosocial point of view, as well as on the methods of meeting facilitation. Both parts of the course will help to analyze different dimensions of the organizational contexts in which the training of adults generally takes place. |
