Learning outcomes
Knowledge and understanding 1. Know the main educational problems and understand more deeply their pedagogical and existential meaning through a linguistic, methodological and reflective philosophical approach. 2. Understand that educational action, like any other professional activity, has in itself an ethical, aesthetic and theoretical dimension, for whose full understanding philosophical reflection is necessary. 3. Know and understand that the philosophical contribution to educational practice and pedagogical reflection ultimately concerns the meaning of educational action. Applying knowledge and understanding 1. Use a cognitive methodology that starts from the educational experience, reads its meaning in philosophical terms and then returns to educational practice. 2. To know how to justify the relationship between educational experience, pedagogical reflection and philosophical theorizing, and to understand the cultural and professional value of this relationship in educational work. 3. To learn directly from philosophical thought further existential, cultural and professional motivations that can strengthen the ability to operate in a competent and responsible way in different educational contexts.
Program
PART ONE: cognitive structure of the philosophy of education in relation to education
─ Role and functions of the philosophy of education within pedagogical knowledge.
─ General characteristics of philosophy: definition, content, method and purpose.
─ From philosophy in general, to the specific characteristics of the philosophy of education.
SECOND PART: philosophical issues concerning the constitutive contents of education
─ The relationship between thought and action, theory and practice
─ Who is the human subject, recipient of the educational action.
─ The ultimate goal of any cognitive activity also in education: experience of the "true".
─ The existential, individual and social value of educational action: experience of the "good".
─ The aesthetic presence also in educational work: experience of “beauty”.
─ Living and working, even in education, within "space" and "time".
THIRD PART: in-depth study of some philosophical issues related to educational work
─ The difficulty of recognizing the truth and distinguishing it from the false: the true / false dialectic.
─ Why a code of conduct at work is needed: ethics and professional ethics.
─ Beauty comes from relationship and recognition, which is both emotional and cognitive.
─ Words of educational language and their existential and philosophical meaning.

NECESSITY OF THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EXAMINATION PROGRAM AND THE ACADEMIC YEAR IN WHICH THE TEST IS SUPPORTED
To guarantee the connection, as required by the document of "integration to the degree diploma" (diploma supplement), between the exam program and the academic year in which the student takes the exam, and because each year the course program it is deepened and updated in its contents, compared to the programs of previous years, it is culturally and didactically appropriate that the students enrolled in the previous academic years take the exam bringing the program of the current academic year, except for serious and motivated reasons, to be communicated in any case and in advance to the teacher.

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;
Nuove Linee Guida per il tirocinio di Scienze dell'educazione.
