Bibliography

Didactic methods

Through the laboratory it is intended to promote the development of professional skills and educational practices starting from a theoretical framework of reference learned, with particular attention to educational services for children aged 0 to 3 years. Through the practical exercise, active participation, reflection and re-elaboration are privileged both at an individual and group level.

Learning assessment procedures

A self-evaluation work of the laboratory itself will be proposed starting from the objectives that each student will have set for himself at the beginning of the course. The sharing of projects and final evaluations will be an integral part of the evaluation of the students.

Evaluation criteria

The final evaluation will focus on the drafting of one or more educational projects elaborated both individually and in small groups on the basis of situations described or viewed with videos of moments of real activity in some nursery schools. The project will be evaluated on the basis of the criteria of: completeness, coherence, originality, usability. The methods of participation in the laboratory, in the proposed activities and in group work will provide further elements for verifying the acquisition of the expected learning outcomes. The laboratory can be validated after verifying the student's attendance at classroom activities for the entire number of hours foreseen.

Criteria for the composition of the final grade

There will not be a numerical evaluation, but the wording Approved or Disapproved will be used.
