Learning outcomes
Knowledge and understanding 1. Know the essential features of the pedagogist's professional profile and understand the complexity of the functions and areas in which the pedagogical work manifested. 2. Define the concept of "fragility" and its semantic extension, which involves social contexts and processes, ages and life choices, personal beliefs and cultural values. 3. Understand that educational work and pedagogical knowledge are also "fragile" practices, but awareness of this dimension can be an element of strength and not of professional weakness. Applying knowledge and understanding 1. Identify what could be the "new fragilities" that emerge not only from the economic and social world, but also from the sphere of relationship life and from the crisis of meaning horizons. 2. Knowing how to recognize and deepen the many "faces" of fragility by looking for the cause in the loss of one's individual, social and cultural identity. 3. Develop pedagogical research projects and consequent educational interventions starting from a positive vision of fragility, understood as an existential condition that is at the bottom of every age of life.
Program
The programme is divided into two closely related basic themes: the first concerns the theme of "fragility", understood as a common interpretative element, present in various ways in subjects and contexts of life. The second one concerns the professional figure of the pedagogist in his/her role as pedagogical consultant.
Contents:
What is meant by fragility? How to read fragility in the light of the different cultural sensitivities present in educational realities? From fragility (individual, group, relational, contextual, environmental) what transformative energy can arise in an educational counselling process? What are the limits to educational counselling?
In particular we will explore:
The fragilities related to family life
The fragilities related to the relational transformations brought about by the pandemic
Weaknesses related to the crisis of personal and professional identity and the principle of social responsibility.
We will explore which work contexts, functions and competences are required from the pedagogical consultant. In particular we will go through some questions relevant to pedagogical work:
How to listen and read needs?
How to learn from situated knowledge and genealogies that construct the becoming of 'who we are'?
Narrative as one of the tools of the pedagogical consultant.
Teaching methods and tools
Classroom work involves the active participation of students and the creation of working groups.
