Abstract
This paper represents the experiences and results of 103 students in two
courses of the Official Masters in Marriage and Family
(http://www.unav.es/es/icf/master/), gathered during four academic years (2005-
2006, 2006-2007, 2007-2008 and 2008-2009). The two courses studied were
“Family Education during Infancy” (EFI) and “Orientation Models in Family
Psycho-pedagogy” (MOPF). To be specific, it deals with a methodological proposal
which stimulates the integration of practical teaching of the two courses mentioned
as well as the development of the student’s abilities. Those abilities are instrumental,
interpersonal, systematic and specific to the profession of the counselor. The
academic program of this Masters combines the online version which lasts two
years, with two weekly sessions during the month of August. The results obtained
reveal the Masters student’s high level of satisfaction with the use of the active
methodologies, forcing the educator to face new challenges about the way in which
he favors the independent work of each studen
