Learning outcomes
The course aims to focus on the profound changes that have affected the society in the reflexive modernity. These economic, political and cultural changes have an impact not only on the society as a whole, but especially on the biographies of individual life. Politicization of the economy, decline of the Fordism, weakening of the nation-states borders and multiculturalism are macro level processes which generate, at the micro level, a profound redefinition of the relationship individual-society and the processes of identity construction. Individualization , de-institutionalization and the pluralization of cultural systems give rise to new social configurations, in which become central the network of relationships and the dynamics of the construction of the personal network .
Program
Course programme:
A) First part: in the first part of the course, the topic of political, cultural and economic changes will be deepened from the text of A. Giddens, which highlights how the current dynamics of modernity, in particular the processes of disaggregation of social systems, impact on the concept of trust, risk and security. New social configurations (reflexive modernity) are shaping nowadays and they find in the relational approach and in the network paradigm a new way of analysis and interpretation.
B) Second part: the second part of the course will address the issue of reflexive modernity from some specific perspectives: how the job market changes affect the the mechanisms of social and systemic integration; the problem of respect in an increasingly multicultural society; how the dynamics freedom-security, belonging and individualization influence the mechanisms of 'reflexive' identities construction; how to connect the concept of space and time in the global society.

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.
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.
