Program

1 The students will know and understand the meaning and function of educational design in early childhood educational settings, considering different levels, approaches and models both in terms of theory as well as practice. 2. They will also get to know and understand the concept of educational project and develop an adequate understanding of the different steps of the design process as an essential professional tool in order to translate pedagogical concepts into educational practice starting from the observation of children’s needs and competences. 3. They will be able to critically analyze practices and educational projects in terms of design processes, goals and main aspects that are strictly connected to pedagogical and organizational quality in ECEC services. 4. They will also develop basic competences in designing, analyzing and evaluating contexts and practices in early childhood settings, in connection to children’s, parents’ and educators’ potential and needs.

THEMES AND CONTENTS

Designing in early childhood educational settings: an intentional process.
Features, strategies, steps and actors of the educational design process.
The educational project as “key tool” of an ECEC setting: analyzing, reflecting and sharing within the educational team in order to organize complexity.
The educational project: contents, goals, models, approaches and methodological aspects for the analysis and drafting of project documents.
The role of observation in the process of educational design.
Connecting theory and practice: exploring coherence between the pedagogical project and everyday practice in educational work.

The educational project in the nursery school: designing children’s and adults’ well-being.
Adults listening to the child: strategies to design and set up educational contexts.
Education and care between theory and practice.
Keeping the role of the educator\teacher as a common thread, the main aspects that characterize the nursery's educational project will be examined:
- From home to nursery school: designing “introduction\familiarization time” (ambientamento) for children and parents.
- Everyday life in an early childhood setting: care, play and learning take place in relational contexts where time, spaces, materials, children and adults are of fundamental importance. Examination of the forms of organization, strategies, and choices in design that come together to shape positive educational experiences.
- Educational and caring spaces: designing living environments for the well-being of children and adults.
- Smart contexts and materials.
- Making education visible: the role of documentation. Observing, designing, documenting and assessing: a circular process.
- Learning and living outdoors: designing spaces and experiences in the natural environment.
- Meeting families: building positive relationships with parents.
- How do adults learn? In-service training, thinking, designing, sharing and reflecting together in the educational team.


METHODS AND TOOLS

The teaching approach is aimed at fostering learning from experience that involves the active participation of students through dialogue and teamwork, as well as sharing of personal experience and reflection on the learning process.
- Interactive theoretical lessons
- Analysis of stimulus materials (documentation recounting real life projects and experiences in ECEC services, videos, articles, etc.)
- Dialogue with key experts: teachers, educators, pedagogistas and atelieristas who work in different settings in the ECEC field
- Project Work
- Use of the e-learning platform
- Particular emphasis will be given to teamwork and the creation of work groups.

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;

Al termine del tirocinio diretto lo studente deve presentare una relazione scritta, nella modalità concordata con il tutor accademico.
