Changes to my Study Programme

7 Razones para Estudiar Psicología - Cursos y Carreras
Hi! Welcome back everyone

Today I will talk about some changes that I would like to make in my Study Program If I could.

Currently, I am studying my third year of Psychology at the University of Chile. I must say that I really love my career and I really like my university, but I also think that some changes in the program are necessary.

First, I think it is necessary to change some first – year subjects. If I am honest, in my experience, the subject of Philosophy has not contributed anything to me in my studies in Psychology. I think this subject should be replaced for another course of Epistemology of the Social Sciences.

Second, in my opinion, all courses of the career should have a gender focus. Currently, many subjects offer only texts created by men, so that, it is necessary to read more female authors.

Third, in my view, it is necessary to add more instances of discussion and participation in the classes. Many psychology classes are only based on listening to the teacher speak, personally I think this is very boring.

Fourth, from my point of view, it is essential to have more practical instances in the career. We only have practice in the last year of Psychology, when there is little time to graduate! Currently, we are studying half of the professional career and we don’t know how to treat a person. I think it is important that the professional practices are from the third year.

Finally, I want to say that I hope to be a good psychologist. For me, the most important thing is to contribute to society.

See you in the next post! 

Regards, Catalina Recabal

My Autobiography

Hi everyone! Today I will write about me and my life. My name is Catalina Recabal Muena, I'm 22 years old. I was born in Santiago, Chile, on August 24th, 1997. As for my education; My secondary studies were at the Liceo 7 of Providencia, an emblematic school of Chile. In 2016 I studied Architecture at University of Chile. In this place I met many of my best friends. However, I did don't like this career, so that's why in 2018 I started studying Psychology at the University of Chile. I really love this career and I think this is my true vocation. My family is composed of my mother, my brother, my father and my dog Apolo, a very playful and friendly black pug.  In my free time, I really like to paint and play pole dance. I really like this sport, because I consider it is a great personal challenge for me. Also, in my free time, I enjoy spending time whit my family and my friends. This is my Puppy Apolo 

Why I chose Psychology

Hi classmates! Today I will write about because I'm decided to study Psychology.  When I was a little girl, I really liked a lot the idea that my work in the future was in hairdressing. I really liked combing and making haircuts to my dolls!  Also, when I was 10 years old I'm dreamed of being president of Chile, however, I had little time this idea in my head. As I started focusing on choosing one career in high school, I realized that I really liked to paint, draw and design. I really enjoyed art classes at school. For this reason, I decided to go to study Architecture at the University of Chile, however, in my second year of studies, I realized that my true vocation was Psychology. I' m decided to retire from Architecture and enter in 2018 to study Psychology at the same university. In this career I am very happy, I like what I study and what I read. I consider that Psychology is a very interesting discipline. In the future,  I would like to work in Clini...

Postgraduate Studies

Hi classmates :)!  Today, I want to tell you about my study project after finishing university. I am currently studying third year of Psychology. Honestly, for me it's important not to make ideas or projects in the long term, because there is a great possibility that other situations  will occur.  Anyway, I will like to extend my studies  in another country, specifically in the United States, Florida. I would like to go to study in this country, because my boyfriend, currently, studies and works in this place, this way he could have him near me.  During the summer holidays 2020, I had the opportunity to visit this place for a mont and I really liked the calm and relaxed lifestyle, the beautiful landscapes, beaches, weather and the different panoramas to do. I think that the lifestyle of this place is very different that Santiago of Chile, and I like that.    Obviously, to realize this dream, I must learn to speak, write and listen English, so this is o...
