Dear Learner,

The Discipline of Psychology, SOSS, IGNOU welcomes you to MAPC (MA Psychology) programme.
The programme is offered in Open and Distance Learning (ODL) mode. It is possible that this may be
your first experience as an ODL learner. Unlike the conventional system of education, where teaching
and learning takes place in face to face manner, IGNOU adopts a multi-media approach to facilitate
teaching-learning process.

The course material (Self-Learning Material) is the primary medium of instruction. It will also be
supplemented with audio-video programmes. Further, teleconference sessions and interactive radio
counselling sessions will also be organised from time to time which you can take benefit from. You can
get information regarding this from your Regional Centre. You will also get support and guidance from
the counselling sessions organised at the Study Centres. Counselling sessions will be conducted for
both theory and practicum courses. Attendance in counselling sessions of theory courses is not
mandatory; however it is compulsory to attend the counselling sessions for practicum courses.

Please ensure that you keep in touch with your Study Centre with regard to the schedule of counselling
sessions.

This programme guide will help you understand the programme in a better way with regard to its
features, structure, courses, assignments, evaluation and so on. It will also help you to organise your
study related to various components of the programme.

We wish you all the best.

Some of the places the learners could do their internship are given below:

20
1) Children’s Centre/NGO serving children and adolescents.
2) Agencies catering to population with severe emotional disturbances requiring psychiatric treatment.
3) Community mental health centers serving children, adolescents, adults, and geriatric populations,
primarily from low economic category should be taken up. Client problems may include moderate
to severe family and individual dysfunctions. Services provided include individual assessment,
individual, family, and group therapy. Some agencies focus on specific populations, such as patients
with life-threatening illnesses or sexual problems like HIV/AIDS/STD.
4) Institutions like, State hospital, that caters to patients from every age group, including forensic
populations. Trainees may be involved in providing individual and group psychotherapy, behavioural
treatment, assessment, and working with an interdisciplinary treatment team.
5) Trainees may also work the counselling centres, where clients, range in age from late adolescence
upto 80’s, suffering from problems such as adjustment disorders, mood disorders, psychotic
disorders, alcohol/drug problems, career decision making and learning disabilities. Trainees may
participate in individual psychotherapy, group psychotherapy, outreach consultation, vocational
testing and counseling, psychological assessment, and learning disability assessment.
6) Another institution for training is the correctional institution, wherein the inmates with problems
ranging from adjustment issues to severe persistent mental disorders, to facing crises could be
attended to by the learners during the training. For example, learners may do assessment, consultation,
and group and individual psychological interventions.
7) Children’s Home, Home for women, special homes for the handicapped, home for beggars, mental
hospitals, nursing homes dealing with mentally ill persons, where assessment consultation and group
and individual therapies are carried on.
The selection of agency can be done by the learner as well as the academic counselors/study centres.
The training goal is to help learners acquire skills in clinical psychology. The learners, thus, will learn
and acquire skills and professional acumen under trained practitioners in the concerned setting. There
will be one to one supervision and the learners will be closely supervised by the supervisor who will
give them the feedback about their performance.
Note: 10 cases with case history, Mental Status Examination and Psychological testing are to be
handled by the learner in a year. Out of these 10 cases, for any 2 cases intervention needs to be carried
out by the learner. A report in proper format (as given in Handbook on Internship) has to be submitted
by the learner to the Academic Counsellor. Assessment by academic counselor carries 30% weightage,
assessment by agency supervisor carries 30% weightage and assessment by the external examiner (viva
– voce) carries 40% weightage. Keep a photocopy of Internship Report before submitting it at your
Study Centre.
MPCE 016 Project
Any topic of interest to learners while doing the course could be taken up as a project. The Research
Project in the form of a dissertation, can be quantitative as well as qualitative. The learner needs to ensure
that the topic has research significance and follows a proper research methodology. In consultation with
the guide (guide can be either academic counselor or any other supervisor, subject to the approval by the
Discipline of Psychology, SOSS, IGNOU, New Delhi) the learner needs to select a topic and work
on it.
Project proposal or synopsis has to be prepared by the learner in consultation with the
supervisor/guide and the same has to be submitted to the concerned regional centre. The final project
report/dissertation is to be submitted in proper format (given in the Handbook on Project) to the
concerned regional centre only.
Note : The Term-End Examination (TEE) for Practicum Courses will be held at the respective
Study Centres. The TEE (viva-voce) for Internship and Project will be held at the

4.7 STUDY CENTRES

Each learner admitted to this programme will be attached to a Study Centre. At present, there are 197
study centres located in different places of the country. Learners may opt for enrolment in the nearest
study centre. Every study centre is managed by a Coordinator. The learners are advised to be in regular
contact with their respective study centres and interact with the Coordinator as frequently as possible.
29
The facilities provided at the study centres, normally, include the following:
• Counselling sessions in different courses relating to M.A. (Psychology)
• Library facility with basic reading materials related to various aspects of the discipline
• Audio-Video programmes specially designed for M.A. (Psychology)
• Teleconferencing and Radio Counselling (at the Regional Centres)

4.8 INSTRUCTIONAL SYSTEM

The Master’s Degree Programme adopts a multimedia approach, viz. self-instructional print materials,
audio-video programmes, assignments, counselling sessions and teleconferencing.
i) Print Materials
These comprise mainly self-instructional material. Other study materials required for a particular course
such as the original texts of political thinkers or essays from secondary sources will be made available
at the study centre libraries.
The units in the course material have been carefully designed and written by specialists engaged in study
and research in the discipline of Psychology. The names of the authors are listed in the course material.
It may, however, be added that the units are by no means comprehensive in discussing different themes.
It is, therefore, advised that you read as much of the books and research articles as possible, suggested
at the end of the book. The University will make some of these books and articles available at the Study
Centre libraries.
ii) Audio-video Programmes
The Audio and Video programmes are supplementary, meant for clarification and enhancement of
understanding. These are used during counselling sessions at the Study Centres. Video programmes
are also telecast on the national network of Doordarshan/GyanDarshan. Besides, live counseling is
provided on radio. These sessions are conducted for an hour and telecast from All India Radio
Stations spread throughout the country. You can ask questions right from your home on telephone.
iii) Counselling Sessions
Generally, counselling sessions are held at the Study Centres during weekends (Saturdays and
Sundays) and holidays. The Study Centre Coordinators will provide the counselling schedule.

30
SCHEME OF STUDY
The counselling schedule for theory and practicum courses in MA 1st year will be as under:
Number of counselling sessions allocated for theory courses (4 credits each): 06 sessions, (each
of 02 hours duration) for each theory course.
Total = 36 sessions for 6 theory courses.
Number of counselling sessions allocated for practicum course (8 credits): 08 sessions, each of
03 hours duration.
The counselling schedule for theory and practicum courses in MA IInd year will be as under:
Number of counselling sessions allocated for theory courses (4 credits each): 06 sessions, (each
of 02 hours) for each theory course.
Total = 18 sessions for 3 theory courses.
Number of counselling sessions allocated for practicum course (6 credits): 06 sessions of 03
hours (6 credits).
The MAPC programme has three important courses of practical, internship and project
(according to learner’s specialisation). Detailed guidelines for these courses are given in
respective handbooks. Courses of Practical and Internship are compulsory. Project is an optional
course where the learner can take project or opt for an alternative theory course on Applied
Positive Psychology.
iv) Teleconferencing

The Teleconferencing Sessions are organised by the School of Social Sciences with the help of
the Electronic Media Production Centre (EMPC) staff. The technical part comprises one way
video and two way audio components. The subject experts counsel learners on various aspects
of the courses in these sessions. You will be informed of the schedule of these sessions in advance
through the IGNOU Newsletter. The learner can watch these sessions on television through the
Gyandarshan channel.

5. EVALUATION
The evaluation consists of two parts: 1) continuous evaluation through assignment and, ii) Term
End Examination. In the final result all the assignments of a course carry 30% weightage, while
70% weightage is given for Term End Examination.

The following is the scheme of awarding divisions:

1st Division - 60% and above

IInd Division - 50% but below 59.9%

IIIrd Division - 40% but below 49.9 %

Unsuccessful - Below 40%

You are required to score at least 40% marks in both continuous evaluation (assignments) as well
as Term End Examination of each course separately. In the overall computation also you must get
at least 40% marks in each course to claim the M.A. degree. The scores of continuous evaluation
and Term End Examination are not complementary to each other for qualifying a course.

31
It may be noted here that learners need to pass separately in the Internal and External
components in Practical and Internship courses (this is applicable for learners who have taken
admission in July 2021 cycle and onwards).

Learners who do not qualify in the Term End Examination are again allowed to take up the next
Term End Examination by filling up the exam form and paying the exam fee. It means that you
can take the Term End Examination of the First year courses in the Second year of study. But
you cannot appear in examination for more than 48 credits in one examination. You have to
successfully complete all the courses within 4 years of your registration.

5.1 Assignments

Assignments constitute a part of continuous evaluation. The submission of assignments is compulsory.

The marks that you get in your assignments will be counted in your final result. Assignment of a course
carries 30% weightage, while 70% weightage is given to the term-end examinations. Therefore, you are
advised to take your assignments seriously.

You have to complete the assignments within the deadline specified in the assignments booklet
or within one month of the date of receipt of assignments whichever is later. You will not be
allowed to appear for the term-end examination for any course if you do not submit the
specified number of assignments in time for that course. If you appear in term-end examination,
without submitting the assignments the result of term-end examination would be liable to be
cancelled.

The main purpose of assignment is to test your comprehension of the learning materials you receive from
us and also to help you get through the courses. The evaluators/counsellors will send back the
marked and corrected assignments with their comments. The comments will surely guide you in your
study and help in improving your comprehension. The content provided in the printed course materials
should be sufficient for answering the assignments. At Postgraduate level it is expected that you will
consult other prescribed books also. You need not however worry too much about the non-
availability of extra reading materials for working on the assignments. The assignments are designed in
such a way as to help you concentrate mainly on the printed course materials and your analytical
capabilities.

All the assignments are Tutor Marked Assignment (TMA) which shall be evaluated by the
counselor. There will be one assignment for each course. The assignments carry 30 percent
weightage in evaluation as mentioned earlier.
The assignment responses should be complete in all respects. Before submission you should
ensure that you have answered all the questions in all assignments. Incomplete assignments bring
you poor grades.
You have to submit your assignments to the Coordinator of the Study Centre assigned to you.
After evaluation these TMAs will be sent back to you with comments and marks.
The University/Coordinator of the Study Centre has the right to reject the assignments submitted
after the due date. You are, therefore, advised to submit the assignments before the due date.
Do not forget to get back your duly evaluated tutor marked assignments alongwith a copy of the
assessment sheet containing comments of the evaluator on your performance. This may help you
to improve future assignments.
For your own record, retain a copy of all the assignment responses which you submit to the
Coordinator. If you do not get back your duly evaluated tutor marked assignments along with a

32
copy of assessment sheet containing comments of evaluator on your assignment within a month

33
after submission, please try to get it personally from your study centre. This may help you to
improve upon future assignments. Also maintain an account of the corrected assignment responses
received by you after evaluation. This will help you to represent your case to the University in
case any problem arises.
If you do not get pass grade in any assignment, you have to submit it again. To get fresh
assignments you should write to Regional Director of your Region. However, once you get the
pass grade in an assignment, you cannot re-submit it for improvement of grade. Assignments are
not subject to re-evaluation except for factual errors, if any, committed by the evaluator. The
discrepancy noticed by you in the evaluated assignments should be brought to the notice of the
Coordinator of the Study Centre, so that the correct score is forwarded by him to the Student
Evaluation Division at Headquarters. Score communicated by the study centre through any mode
other than the award list will not be acceptable to the university for taking your score of
assignments on your record.

In case you find that the score indicated in the assignment sheet of your Tutor Marked Assignment
has not been correctly reflected or is not entered in your grade card, you are advised to contact
the coordinator of your study centre with a request to forward correct award list to the SE
Division at the Headquarters.

Do not enclose or express doubts for clarification if any about study material or assignment
alongwith the assignment. Send your doubts in a separate cover to the Director of the concerned
School at IGNOU, MaidanGarhi, New Delhi-110068. Give your complete enrolment number,
name, address, phone/mobile number, title of the course, and the number of the Unit or the assignment,
etc. on top of your letter.

Coordinator on the prescribed assignment remittance-cum-acknowledgement card.
12) In case you have requested for a change of Study Centre, you should submit your Tutor
Marked Assignments only to the original Study Centre until the change of Study Centre is
notified by the University.
13) If you find that there is any factual error in evaluation of your assignments e.g. any portion
of assignment response has not been evaluated or total of score recorded on assignment
response is incorrect you should approach the coordinator of your study centre for correction
and transmission of correct score to headquarters.
14) Assignments are also available on IGNOU Website: www.ignou.ac.in, under Student Zone.

7. TIPS FOR EFFECTIVE LEARNING IN OPEN UNIVERSITY

How to approach your studies: It would be good for you to go through the Programme Guides
as well as the Handbooks provided by the University. This will help you to know exactly about
the facilities being extended and how you can make best use of these in your learning. That is,
you should have an idea of what to expect from the system and how best to use the support being
provided.
Quasi-permanent separation: To bridge your semi-permanent separation from your counsellor
and to enable you to take advantage of the flexibilities provided in the Open Distance Learning
(ODL) system, provision for Face to Face interaction has been made. Moreover, you can contact
your teachers at the Headquarters through phone and e-mail. However, the onus of learning is on
you. You must make full use of the flexibility, facilities and innovativeness provided by the system.
Adhere to the schedule of operations: Various activities in the ODL system are time bound and the
details are given in the programme guides and the handbooks sent to you. Adherence to the Schedule
of Operations shall help you enormously in completion of the courses. As a thumb rule, if you study
three hours a day regularly, you should be successful in the minimum stipulated time.
43
Studying at your pace and place: You can learn at your pace and place, but it would help if you
periodically revise what you have learnt. This would also enable you to assess as to how much remains
to be done. The DE system provides for an in-built teacher in the Self Instructional Materials (SIMs).
Your pace of learning could be faster and effective if you abide by the instructions given to you in the
SIMs and follow the sequence and steps suggested therein, as the objective of these access devices
is to regulate your pace of learning.

Taking notes: In SIMs, some space has been provided to take important notes. You should identify
keywords/terms, and put remarks while going through it. This facilitates cross-referencing. You must
answer/solve problems in the Self-assessment Questions (SAQs) and Terminal Questions (TQs) yourself
rather than looking for solutions at the end.

Using media effectively: The audio-visual learning is faster and can be more effective. That is why
multi-media is one of the integral components of our multiple media instructional package. For
complementing your learning with the help of multi-media effectively, you should visit your study
centreforcounselling and insist that your counsellor shows A/V programmes. Such visits will also help
you obtain the latest information on broadcast, and telecast of programmes and tele-conferences being
held. Now, IGNOU has a 24 hr TV Channel GyanDarshanand a countrywide network of FM radio
stations. You should contact your cable operators to beam GyanDarshan. In case it is not possible
for you to visit your SCs for some reason, you can procure these cassettes/CDs from the University
for convenient viewing.

Preparing Assignment Responses: The separation between the teacher and the taught in the ODL
system is bridged through dialogue established by continuous assessment. Your assignment responses
provide an opportunity to your counsellor to guide you and pace your learning depending on your
progress. Therefore, you must write your assignment yourself, in your words depending on the scope
of every question. In some questions, you might be required to give a brief outline while in others you
may be asked to give your justifications/demonstrate your skills and knowledge/give detailed description
etc. It is also possible that you may be required to refer to a particular source of information or data
and present your analysis. If possible, discuss implications and suggest application and/or give
illustrations.

When you have answered the assignments, pause for a while and recheck your response to make
sure that:
• the language is your own, simple and comprehensible
• it covers all the relevant aspects and with expected details the content is accurate and
relevant
• the presentation is logical and clear
• the main points are well supported by examples/arguments/illustrations and
• the response has been neatly typed or legibly written.
You must keep a copy of each of your assignments and file them in order, separately, for each
course. While submitting your assignment at your Study Centre / Programme Centre, you must
insist on obtaining acknowledgement. In case you send your assignment by post, keep the registration
slip as evidence. In case of any difficulty or unconvincing response at the Study Centre, please
contact your Regional Centre or the Headquarter. Normally, you should obtain your Tutor Marked
Assignment within 45 days. In case you do not receive your evaluated TMAs with tutor comments in
the stipulated period, you should check with the Study Centre Coordinator. once you receive the
evaluated assignment responses, go through tutor comments.. A careful reading of the comments should
give you an idea as to how you can improve your responses in future.

44
Learning from Counselling and Peer Group: In order to make the best use of the counselling
sessions, you should have read the relevant units before going for the counselling session. This
willenable you to have useful interactions with your counsellor and peer group. Participate in the
discussion with an open mind. Take note of important points identified by other peer group
members and the counsellor. Do not hesitate to clarify doubts, even if they are trivial.
Taking the Term-end Examination: In our system of education, career prospects are influenced
by the performance in examinations. So we should approach examinations with some caution.
However, this should not cause anxiety. Another important point to be kept in mind is that you
must submit your assignments as per schedule before the examination.
Preparing for the Examinations: The surest way to success in any examination is to conscientiously
employ effective study techniques over a period of time. For example, if you follow the tips provided
here, your chances of success will improve. If you follow them, you will certainly remember more, have
a better understanding, and be able to organise your ideas quickly and effectively.
Even solving previous examination question papers and getting your answers checked by your
counselors should help improve your performance. You can download these from the IGNOU website
www.ignou.ac.in. Revision of text materials plays a vital role in your preparation for the examinations.
The following are two good reasons for doing regular revisions right from the start:
You may not have enough time to revise everything you have studied in a course/programme at the last
minute.
You will find the latter materials easier to study if you have sound understanding of what has been
studied earlier.
On the Examination Day: When you receive the question paper:
Read the instructions and the question paper right through very carefully paying attention to each
question.
Be objective and assess what precisely the questions demand of you.
Budget your time; that is, you should carefully allocate your time according to the weightage given
to each question.
Plan your answer and form a sense of priority.
