Examination Methods
Assessment:
Learning outcomes will be assessed using two methods:
1) A written test with 5 structured, open questions on the texts indicated in the exam reading list.
2) Group-research project on the themes covered in the lessons (to be agreed with the lecturer based on the student’s degree programme). The project should take the form of an empirical micro-study based on semi-structured interviews with education professionals. The interviews will be based on a template/process developed over the course of the lessons, and may be videoed. The written research report will consist of an argumentative essay through which the student(s) examines, analyses, and develops an interpretation of the collected data using methods, information and theory covered in the lessons and prescribed reading materials, and any other sources identified by the student him/herself.
The study report should include a cover page (containing: the student’s first and last name, ID number, degree course title, employment position, e-mail and telephone number); the central part of the essay should comprise a brief summary, introduction, analysis of the data and conclusion.
The essay should be subdivided into sections, with footnotes and a final bibliography.
The student should submit both a paper and electronic copy of the essay.
Assessment Criteria
The assessment result will be expressed as a score out of a possible thirty marks
- A maximum of 20 (twenty) marks will be available for the written test;
- The final report is worth up to 10 (ten) marks;
- The final result (out of 30) will be the sum of these two scores.
Marks will be awarded on the basis of the following criteria:
For the written test:
- The extent to which the answers address the questions, and the extent and quality of the theoretical learning demonstrated;
- The extent to which the student is able to offer a personal reflection on the material studied and his/her ability to reconcile theory and practice;
- The command of specialist terminology appropriate to the field in question;
- Correct grammar and syntax.
For the study report:
The micro-study must provide clear evidence of learning:
- by discussing the methods and processes used to administer the interviews;
- by citing the texts indicated in the bibliography and other texts identified during the research process,
- by providing a personal interpretation of, and reflection on, the analysis of collected data, the lessons attended and bibliographical sources.

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:

- 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;
