Program

• Learning through experience: the importance of experiential learning in educational services. • Educator skills: from listening to reflection. • Methodological tools and approaches: observation, planning, documentation, and evaluation in nursery schools. • A brief legislative history of nursery schools. • National guidelines for early childhood education services. • Pedagogical guidelines for the integrated 0-6 system. • The Educational Project: importance and implementation. • The Horizontal Curriculum: continuity in 0-6 services • The idea of the child and space as a third educator: methodological and planning perspectives

Didactic methods

Experiential methods are planned to foster learning, reflection, and sharing among students:
• Circle time
• Workshops
• Subgroup work
• Individual work
• Case studies. Professionals with experience in relevant educational services will also be invited to share their practical experience and spark further reflection by addressing aspects of the resources and critical issues of the educational profession. Professionals may come from traditional services such as nursery, micro-nursery, and preschool, as well as educational settings such as family-run nurseries and daycare centers. These meetings are intended to facilitate the achievement of the indirect internship objectives.

Learning assessment procedures

A self-assessment process will be proposed, starting from the objectives of the proposed course, including an individual-reflective component and a group-planned component. Sharing of projects completed in subgroups and final assessments will be an integral part of the student evaluation.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE
