What is it about?
This study aims to examine the self-perceived competencies of 231 Italian students enrolled in a psychological degree program and involved in a practicum. It analyzes the subjective perception of the competences that students expect to develop, acknowledge as developed and that might be inferred from tasks performed during the practicum; the level of expertise (novice, intermediate or advanced) of these competences; and the relation between the practicum facility and the competences

Why is it important?
This study is the first attempt to analyze Italian college students’ subjective perceptions of psychological competencies expected or developed during practicum
Perspectives
This study presents an important perspective on competency evaluation by college students on their practicum experience. Undergraduate psychology students must reflect on the value of psychological competences during their formative training to re-orient their learning process and build a competent professional role.
