2. Have a basic knowledge and understanding of characteristics, use conditions, advantages and limits of the different qualitative and quantitative techniques based on the observation of child behavior in her/his contexts.
3. Having a basic knowledge and understanding of the opportunities to use specific tools for observing and evaluating the child's abilities in different developmental domains.
Applying knowledge and understanding

2. Being able to design a simple data collection based on the observation of child behavior in an educational context.
3. Being able to assess the reliability and validity of data collected through observation, and to carry out a descriptive analysis of collected data.
Prerequisites and basic notions
Know the basics of developmental psychology.
Program
Part 1. Theoretical and introductory in which the following topics will be dealt with: - Main epistemological questions connected to observation, distinctive characteristics of observation (as a research method and data collection technique), and psychological processes involved; - Theoretical perspectives using the observation of child behavior as a research and/or training method (detached, critical and participatory observation and related approaches); - The main qualitative and quantitative observation techniques in educational contexts (narrative descriptions, coding scheme, check-lists, evaluation scales): analysis of advantages and disadvantages; Part 2. Of a practical-applicative nature: - How to design an observational study. - Tools and techniques to observe adult-child interactions, between peers; - Tools and techniques to observe the cognitive, linguistic, motor, socio-emotional development at nursery school and kindergarten; - Observe to plan interventions; - Notes on data collection and descriptive data analysis.
Bibliography
Didactic methods
The lessons will be frontal and interactive and guided exercises of various types will be conducted. A particular space will be dedicated to the observation and analysis of films for the application of the techniques presented, to the shared reading and interpretation of scientific articles and to the analysis of these in small groups. The materials that will be shared in class (with the sole exception of the videos) will be shared via the Moodle platform. Since this is a methodological course, attendance at the lessons is highly recommended and is a prerequisite and indispensable to participate in the Laboratory of Observation Techniques of Infantile Behavior.

2) Scientific articles (national and international journals), materials provided by the teacher shared in class and/or via the Moodle platform.

Supporting bibliography (for all):
Belsky, J. (2020). Psicologia dello Sviluppo. Zanichelli. (For those who have not taken the Developmental Psychology exam)
For attending students, the final exam is characterized by an ongoing test (the result of group work) and a written test (3 open questions on the manual , duration: 1.5 hours).
For non-attending students, the exam is characterized by a written test (2 open questions on the manual (Baumgartner, 2018) + 1 practical-application question (Aureli & Perucchini, 2014), duration: 1.5 hours ). Upon request, it is possible to supplement the written exam (with sufficient evaluation) with an oral exam.
Evaluation criteria
The written test will assess whether the student: - knows and has understood both the principles that guide the observational method, and the different observation techniques (distinctive characteristics, conditions and methods of use, advantages, limits) and theoretical perspectives that use them; - will know how to relate and process the knowledge acquired; - will know how to apply the acquired knowledge in a critical and competent way; - will know how to apply the knowledge acquired in concrete contexts of psycho-pedagogical research and educational practice; - will know how to present their arguments with clarity and terminological mastery.
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
Attendants: arithmetic mean of the ongoing test and of the three questions of the written test.
Not attended: arithmetic average of the three questions and possible oral evaluation.

PLEASE NOTE: In order to be admitted to any teaching activities, including those of your choice, you must be enrolled in the academic year in which the activities in question are offered. Students who are about to graduate in the December and April sessions are therefore advised NOT to undertake extracurricular activities in the new academic year in which they are not enrolled, as these graduation sessions are valid for students enrolled in the previous academic year. Therefore, students who undertake an activity in an academic year in which they are not enrolled will not be granted CFU credits.

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.
Nuove Linee Guida per il tirocinio di Scienze pedagogiche.

- Tutte le informazioni in merito agli stage per studenti iscritti sono pubblicate in MyUnivr - come fare per - stage e tirocini.
- Tutte le informazioni in merito agli stage per le aziende sono disponili alla pagina Stage e tirocini per azienze.
