Program

GENERAL GOALS 1) Knowing and understanding theories about people's behaviour at work and organisations, including their motivations, satisfaction and well-being; 2) Know and understand theories about the learning and formation of individuals in the life cycle; 3) Know and understand the theories that support the processes and techniques of learning, training and development of individuals and different working communities; 4) Apply training methodologies and techniques to the analysis of learning processes to vocational training and the development of practical communities.
SPECIFIC GOALS - Critically reflecting on the meaning of concepts such as teaching, work, training, organization, learning - grasping the link between analysis of working practices, training and storytelling; - describe the main characteristics of a model of "training didactics" inspired by a reflective rationality and intended as an accompaniment to the wording of the knowledge of experience; - analyze work and organisational practices using an ethnographic and narrative approach; - identify the main characteristics of the typical practices of the various professionals working in different educational contexts; - apply acquired knowledge to real or simulated training contexts; - to work links between the topics addressed and some concrete training contexts; - reflect on the path by developing awareness with respect to the learning processes put in place.

Examination Methods

The overall assessment of course learning will take place – for students/students/students attending and not – by analysing the results of two tests:
- PORTFOLIO OF STUDENT: It will be positively assessed if it respects explicit deliveries in the classroom and in the online space dedicated to teaching and presents personal reflections on the themes developed during the course and the processes activated. (up to 10 points);
- WRITTEN TRY: three questions of CONOSCENCE (each answer will be positively evaluated if correct, supported by evidence and supported by explicit references to the texts indicated as mandatory for examination) (up to 12 points); A question of COMPRENSIONE (the answer is positively evaluated if it highlights links between the various topics addressed and/or between these and concrete training contexts, real or simulated; it reflects in-depth ideas, contains operational insights and shows a critical and original thinking on the topics addressed) and a question of meta-reflection on the course (up to 8 points).

NB: Students who fail to submit the paper will have to answer a set of additional questions
