Practice Diary and Report

During the practice, students are required to:

  1. Keep a Practice Diary in the application in which, in addition to listing specific activities (without providing personal data of persons with whom the mentor works or any information that could reveal the identity of such persons, and without providing information that may be considered a business secret), they also record their reflections on their own reactions (an introspective report).
  2. Prepare a final report according to the sections of the Practice Programme. It is recommended that the final report be 3–5 pages long (1.5 line spacing; 12-point Times New Roman font).

NOTE:

When preparing all elements of the report, the student is required to cooperate with the psychologist – practice mentor. The student keeps the Practice Diary containing their observations independently. The mentor has access to the part of the diary relating to the description of completed activities. The mentor may also enter observations on the student’s work in the diary.

GUIDELINES FOR WRITING THE PRACTICE REPORT

  • Length: 3 to 5 pages (12-point font, 1.5 line spacing)
  • Do not forget the standard title page containing all relevant information (as for a seminar paper)
  • Deadline for electronic submission: the last day of the semester
  • The electronic version of the report should be submitted to dsincek@ffos.hr or daniela.sincek@gmail.com. If you have not completed your practice by that date, please contact the same email addresses in advance.
  • The document should be in Word format and named so that it includes your last name, first name and “Main Practice Report”. For example: Ivić, Ivan – Main Practice Report.docx (please put your last name first so that the reports are listed alphabetically in the folder).

    3. the methods used by the psychologist in working with users (description of methods and techniques),
