Learning outcomes

The aims of the course are:
- to present the main concepts of sociology, paying special attention to strategies and main subjects of sociological research and referring particularly to Italian society features;
- to present a systematic introduction to techniques of structural analysis, known also well as techniques of social network analysis, first presenting their theoretical roots and secondly dealing with the relational concept of social phenomena;
- to examine two subjects particularly relevant in education: amoral familism, and school social capital. These concepts will be presented through the analysis of some empirical researches, that show operational strategies for the practical use of the social network analysis.
At the end of the taught course, students must be able to:
(i) define the most important concepts and issues for sociology with special reference to those regarding the fields of action of the educational services;
(ii) use the acquired theoretical approaches to read social phenomena and be able to effectively define the most important characteristics of relational contexts, namely social networks;
(iii) use their acquired abilities to make autonomous use of data regarding social contexts and analyse the characteristics of social networks, in particular in the educational field;
(iv) describe their own objects of theoretical attention with proficiency, methodological precision and command of terminology;
(v) use the acquired abilities, in terms of strategies for analysis and obtaining information, to confidently study the social aspect of educational phenomena.

Stage e Tirocini

Le ulteriori attività formative (crediti F) sono interamente coperte dall’attività di tirocinio “indiretto” (1 cfu) da svolgersi nel secondo anno e di tirocinio “diretto” (14 cfu) da svolgersi presso enti convenzionati per un numero complessivo di 15 cfu (375 ore). Chi è iscritta/o al curriculum servizi per l’infanzia è tenuta/o a svolgere il tirocinio presso nidi e servizi per la prima infanzia per almeno il 50% delle ore.
Il tirocinio professionalizzante (375 ore, pari a 15 cfu), è obbligatorio sia nella sua forma diretta che indiretta.
Il tirocinio indiretto, della durata di 25 ore a frequenza obbligatoria al 75%, si svolge in Università per 20 ore e in forma di lavoro individuale per 5 ore e consiste in un accompagnamento iniziale delle/degli studenti da parte dei tutor attraverso un percorso formativo dotandoli di conoscenze e strumenti adeguati a osservare, comprendere e rielaborare criticamente l’esperienza di tirocinio nei servizi educativi e ad affrontare il tirocinio negli enti con metodo e consapevolezza. Il percorso, da attuare in gruppi da 20-25 persone sotto la supervisione di un tutor, risponde alle esigenze costantemente espresse sia dalle/dagli studenti stessi sia dalle parti sociali che dai referenti degli enti convenzionati.
Il tirocinio diretto si propone di raggiungere i seguenti obiettivi:

  • fare esperienza diretta di attività professionali, che richiedono un livello di preparazione al lavoro educativo;
  • approfondire in particolare il rapporto tra preparazione teorica, acquisita mediante lo studio, ed esperienza pratica, tra mondo del sapere e della cultura e mondo del lavoro e delle professioni;

Al termine del tirocinio diretto lo studente deve presentare una relazione scritta, nella modalità concordata con il tutor accademico.
