El sueño es un proceso biológico activo, esencial para la salud y regulado por mecanismos que podemos comprender. Este curso ofrece un recorrido accesible y progresivo por sus fundamentos: las etapas del sueño, los ritmos circadianos, la presión de sueño y los cambios del descanso a lo largo de la vida. No necesitas conocimientos previos; las explicaciones visuales y las actividades con casos permiten avanzar desde conceptos básicos hasta su aplicación cotidiana. Aprenderás a interpretar un diario de sueño, evaluar factores como la luz, la cafeína y los horarios, y diseñar un plan realista de mejora. También conocerás las limitaciones de los dispositivos de seguimiento y las principales señales que justifican consultar a un profesional. El curso distingue entre educación sobre hábitos, evaluación clínica y tratamiento: no proporciona diagnósticos ni sustituye la atención sanitaria. El recorrido incluye ejercicios guiados, casos y un proyecto personal evaluado con una rúbrica. Las seis horas estimadas corresponden al trabajo activo con los materiales; si decides aplicar el plan y recopilar un diario real, necesitarás además varios días de observación, sin obligación de compartir datos personales.

Turn educational psychology into practical instructional decisions for school, higher education, and workplace learning. This intermediate course explores how learners process information, develop understanding, sustain motivation, and respond to their learning environments. You will examine major psychological perspectives while learning to distinguish research-supported practices from appealing but unsupported claims. Through focused case analyses and design exercises, you will apply cognitive load principles, retrieval practice, scaffolding, motivational strategies, inclusive planning, and formative assessment. Examples address both classroom teaching and adult training, with attention to developmental differences, prior knowledge, culture, accessibility, and the limits of generalizing research across contexts. The course culminates in an evidence-informed instructional redesign. You will produce a practical learning sequence with a clear objective, appropriate learning activities, an aligned assessment, and a plan for evaluating its effectiveness. Completion requires approximately nine hours, including the embedded exercises and assessments.
