Learning objectives

Knowledge and understanding 1. Know and understand the fields of pedagogist's professional activity and the services, organizations and institutions in which this professional figure operates. 2. Know and understand the function and methods of observation in the pedagogical field. 3. Know and understand the theoretical foundations and the design methods of planning and pedagogical evaluation in medium complexity contexts 4. Know and understand methodologies and tools to access EU funding. Applying knowledge and understanding 1. Know how to use specific observation methods in relation to the different contexts in which the pedagogical coordinator and the pedagogical consultant are involved and the various professional activities (planning and evaluation). 2. Designing the detection of needs in different educational contexts, through the use of methodological tools suitable for the purpose (questionnaire, interview, focus group). 3. Analyze design documents and evaluation reports of educational services and / or projects in order to understand the context in which it operates. 4. Design and manage educational interventions of medium complexity.

Prerequisites and basic notions

basic knowledge of educational design

Program

The course aims to deepen the epistemological approaches, methods and tools of planning and evaluation in the pedagogical field. In particular, the following will be studied: • The meaning of the planning / evaluation process in the pedagogical field • The epistemological approaches and methods involved in the pedagogical planning and evaluation processes • The pedagogical planning process: constitutive elements, phases of the design process, methods and operational tools • Pedagogical evaluation: reflective and transformative dimension of evaluation processes; methods and tools for the elaboration and implementation of an evaluation plan in the pedagogical field • Observation and documentation in the planning and evaluation processes

Bibliography

Didactic methods

The teaching methodologies are inspired by the principles of learning by doing and constructivist and dialogic methodologies. The approach used is in fact aimed at stimulating the active participation of students in the learning process at every stage of the course. Particular emphasis will be placed on the creation of working groups and teamwork.
The teaching methods used will be as follows: • Discussion and guided reflection in large or small groups • Project work in small groups • Extensive use of examples of design and evaluation experiences carried out in different socio-educational contexts • Use of the online virtual classroom • Theoretical and interactive lessons • Simulations • Cooperative learning • Reflective exercises aimed at periodically promoting a self-analysis on the development of skills with respect to the training objectives of the course • Participatory evaluation of the course
METHOD OF DELIVERY OF THE TEACHING
Lessons will be held in person. The audio and video recordings of the lectures will be made available for student consultation by all students in the Panopto block of the Moodle teaching space, until the end of the three exam sessions following the completion of the course .

Learning assessment procedures

For attending students
- Drafting of a pedagogical project of medium complexity developed in groups
- Oral interview in which the project will be critically discussed and the knowledge acquired during the course and the study of the texts will be evaluated.
Study materials and bibliographic indications will be defined during the first lessons and will be made available on the e-learning platform.
For non-attending students
a) a written pedagogical project of medium complexity starting from the knowledge learned from the study of the texts and the indications available on the e-learning platform
b) an oral interview on the contents of the exam texts and on the pedagogical project presented.

Evaluation criteria

Evaluation criteria pedagogical project:
- ability to use methodologies and tools for planning and pedagogical evaluation (ability to decline within the project presented the theoretical, methodological and technical devices learned from the study of the texts in the program) Criteria assessment of the oral interview
- level of learning and personal re-elaboration of the topics covered (understanding of the theoretical concepts covered, correctness and clarity of presentation, mastery of the disciplinary vocabulary, ability to build connections and conceptual links, ability to indicate correct and effective empirical examples of the contents treated)
The final evaluation will be given by the weighted average of the evaluations obtained in the two partial tests
