Learning objectives

Knowledge and understanding 1. Know the essential features of the pedagogist's professional profile and understand the complexity of the functions and areas in which the pedagogical work manifested. 2. Define the concept of "fragility" and its semantic extension, which involves social contexts and processes, ages and life choices, personal beliefs and cultural values. 3. Understand that educational work and pedagogical knowledge are also "fragile" practices, but awareness of this dimension can be an element of strength and not of professional weakness. Applying knowledge and understanding 1. Identify what could be the "new fragilities" that emerge not only from the economic and social world, but also from the sphere of relationship life and from the crisis of meaning horizons. 2. Knowing how to recognize and deepen the many "faces" of fragility by looking for the cause in the loss of one's individual, social and cultural identity. 3. Develop pedagogical research projects and consequent educational interventions starting from a positive vision of fragility, understood as an existential condition that is at the bottom of every age of life.

Prerequisites and basic notions

There are no specific prerequisites other than those required for admission to the degree course. However, reading one of the following novels/biographies is suggested:Janet Frame, Un angelo alla mia tavola; Etty Hillesum, Diario 1941-1943; Marie Cardinal, Le parole per dirlo; Maria Montessori, Il segreto dell'infanzia; Mery Catherin Bateson, Comporre una vita.

Program

The teaching proposes a view of educational counselling as research and training in understanding and awareness of the knowledge of experience.
We will learn about the different meanings and models of educational counselling, highlighting historical matrices, developments and current areas of application.
The intention of the teaching is to acquire a 'mobile' thinking and doing capable of identifying approaches that accommodate the complexities and uniqueness of experiences in different educational contexts.
The lessons will be devoted to exploring three closely related themes
- the first concerns the theme of 'fragility' understood as a constitutive element of each person's life and as a culturally constructed interpretative aspect.
- The second concerns the person of the pedagogist in his or her role as a counsellor; ample space will be given to the practice of 'starting from oneself', of one's own positioning as an element on which to orientate the relationship with the other in both individual and group counselling situations.
- We will delve into the practice and theory of educational counselling according to the education clinic.
Contents :
-The different models of educational counselling
-The approach to a 'mobile' educational counselling able to read fragilities in the light of the different cultural sensitivities present in educational realities.
-The positioning of the counsellor oriented by the feminism of difference, in particular, we will explore 'starting from oneself', the practice of 'thinking in presence', feeling in the relationship with the other.
-The education clinic of Riccardo Massa and his school.
Making the tension between need, fragility, vulnerability generative in a horizon of 'empowerment' of people.
Through the exposition and analysis of concrete experiences we will explore some working contexts of educational counselling, focusing on the care of narratives as one of the tools of the educational counsellor.

Stage e Tirocini

Per le altre attività formative (crediti F) sono previsti 9 cfu (pari a 225 ore) da acquisire solamente attraverso l’attività di tirocinio obbligatoria, a sua volta suddivisa in:

  • tirocinio indiretto (1 cfu: 25 ore di frequenza obbligatoria in università per il 75%) in preparazione dell’attività formativa sul campo;
  • tirocinio diretto (8 cfu), da svolgersi presso enti convenzionati.

L’ordinamento didattico della LM in Scienze pedagogiche prevede che il tirocinio indiretto a frequenza obbligatoria si svolga in università per il 75% nel secondo anno (1 CFU: 25 ore).
Il tirocinio indiretto consiste in un accompagnamento iniziale delle/degli studenti da parte dei tutor attraverso un percorso di formazione della durata di 25 ore.
La finalità di questo percorso è quella di preparare le/gli studenti alla particolare forma di apprendimento costituita dal tirocinio, 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 proveniente dal mondo professionale di educatori e pedagogisti, risponde alle esigenze costantemente espresse sia dalle/dagli studenti stessi sia dalle parti sociali che dai referenti degli enti convenzionati.
