Learning outcomes

Al termine del corso di perfezionamento “La valutazione ecologica delle attività motorie nella scuola dell'infanzia” I corsisti saranno in grado di:
1- Utilizzare nuove conoscenze, strumenti e tecniche di osservazione e valutazione quantitativa per cogliere in un’ottica ecologica: le affordances (possibilità di azione); gli effetti di contesti, ambienti, pratiche nello sviluppo motorio del bambino e della bambina da 3 a 6 anni, in ambito scolastico ed extra scolastico, all’interno e nei parchi/spazi all’aperto.
2- Valutare lo sviluppo di competenze motorie di bambini e bambine da 3 a 6 anni, utilizzando strumenti standardizzati di valutazione, della comunità scientifica internazionale.
3- Utilizzare conoscenze e strumenti di valutazione di processi, anche relativamente alla percezione di competenza delle attività motorie dei bambini/e da affiancare alla didattica e alla valutazione quantitativa.
4- Valutare la “qualità dell’attività fisica” all’interno delle scuole dell’infanzia, con strumenti standardizzati della comunità scientifica internazionale.

Professional profiles and employment and professional opportunities

Il presente CP è unità di apprendimento del Master “Infanzia e Movimento: lo sviluppo da 0 a 6 anni” attivo da 7 edizioni, e che quindi l’analisi degli sbocchi professionali si basa anche sull’esperienza diretta maturata con le precedenti edizioni di master e con 10 anni di realizzazione di corsi professionalizzanti sullo stesso tema. L'analisi degli sbocchi professionali del corso si basa sulla nostra casistica storica (più di 300 licenziati dai corsi monitorati) e sulle consultazioni avute con i responsabili di società di ambito sportivo e di dirigenti scolastici e del sistema sociale che collaborano con il Centro di Ricerca sullo Sviluppo Motorio nell'Infanzia (Direttore Fumagalli) e dai dati ISTAT sulla crescente domanda di servizi per l’infanzia (Rapporto annuale ISTA 2014); da qui risulta che le maggiori richieste di formazione specifica per la promozione dello sviluppo motorio nell’infanzia provengono dai sistemi scolastico (pubblico e privato) (classificazione ISTA CP2011 2.6.4.2) e sportivo (CP2011 3.4.2.5 e 3.4.2.4) e dall’ambito sempre più diffuso dell’offerta di attività ludico-motorie in ambito sociale e turistico (CP2011 3.4.5.1 e 5.4.4.2.). Il CP potenzia la capacità di accesso e di produttività in tali professioni grazie alle competenze scientifiche e operative che trasmette in ambito di didattica delle attività per lo sviluppo motorio e cognitivo, maturate nelle precedenti edizioni del Master di cui il presente CP è unità di apprendimento. Questo specifico corso di perfezionamento apre possibilità lavorative in ambiti nuovi, della “Valutazione di qualità dell’attività fisica” nelle scuole dell’infanzia, secondo parametri condivisi con la comunità internazionale, nella valutazione delle competenze motorie nei parco giochi delle scuole dell’infanzia e cittadini. Quest’ultima prospettiva lavorativa, fortemente legata alla valutazione delle competenze motorie all’aperto, è stata costruita in itinere, come conseguenza della progettazione di 4 parco- giochi all’interno di scuole dell’infanzia e di 3 parco-giochi cittadini, a Treviso, Roma e S. Lazzaro (BO), ad opera degli organizzatori del corso.

First-cycle degrees: Bachelor’s degree programme

First-cycle degrees are aimed at enabling students to achieve a command of general scientific methods and content, and to acquire specific professional knowledge.
Admission requirements: secondary school diploma after completing 13 years of study in total and passing the relevant State examination, or equivalent foreign qualification; admission may be subject to further assessment.
Duration: three years.
Graduation: in order to obtain the degree, it is necessary to gain at least 180 CFU; doing an internship and preparing a dissertation/thesis may also be required. Upon completion of a Bachelor’s degree, graduates may continue their studies by enrolling in a Master’s degree or other second-cycle degree programmes and courses.
Academic title: upon completion of a Bachelor’s degree (Laurea), graduates are awarded the title of “Dottore”.

Second-cycle degrees: Master’s degree

Second-cycle degrees aim to provide students with an advanced training and knowledge to take on highly-skilled roles.
Admission requirements: applicants must hold a Bachelor’s degree, or a foreign equivalent qualification; curricular admission requirements for each course may vary depending on each University.
Duration: two years.
Graduation: in order to obtain the degree, it is necessary to gain at least 120 CFU, as well as preparing and presenting a dissertation/thesis.
Academic title: upon completion of a Master’s degree (Laurea Magistrale), graduates are awarded the title of “Dottore magistrale”. Single cycle/Combined Bachelor+Master’s degrees
Some courses (Medicine and Surgery, Veterinary Medicine, Dentistry and Dental Prosthetics, Pharmacy and Industrial Pharmacy, Architecture and Building Engineering-Architecture, Law, Primary Education) are offered as Single cycle/Combined Bachelor+Master’s degrees (Corsi di Laurea Magistrale a Ciclo Unico).
Admission requirements: applicants must hold a secondary school diploma or equivalent foreign qualification; admission is subject to passing an admission test.
Duration: five years (six years and 360 CFU for Medicine and Surgery, and Dentistry and Dental Prosthetics).
Graduation: in order to obtain the degree, it is necessary to gain at least 300 CFU, as well as preparing and presenting a dissertation/thesis. Upon completion of a Single-cycle degree, graduates may continue their studies by applying for a PhD programme (Dottorato di Ricerca) or other third-cycle courses.
Academic title: upon completion of a Master’s degree (Laurea Magistrale), graduates are awarded the title of “Dottore magistrale”.

Third-cycle degrees

PhD programmes: these courses enable students to gain reliable methodologies for advanced scientific research through innovative methodologies and new technologies, and generally include internships abroad and lab activities at research laboratories. Graduates wishing to apply for a PhD programme must have a Master’s degree (or a foreign equivalent qualification) and pass an open competition; PhD programmes have a minimum duration of three years. In order to complete the programme, students must produce a research thesis/dissertation and present it at a final examination.
Academic title: upon completion of a PhD programme, students are awarded the title of “Dottore di ricerca”, or “PhD”.
Postgraduate specialisation courses: these are third-cycle courses aimed at enabling students to develop advanced knowledge and highly-specialised skills, such as in the medical, clinical and surgical fields. To be admitted to these courses, applicants must have a Master’s degree (or a foreign equivalent qualification) and pass an open competition. Postgraduate specialisation courses may last from two (120 CFU) to 6 years (360 CFU) depending on the type. Academic title: upon completion of this programme, graduates are awarded a “Diploma di Specializzazione”.

Other useful things

Crediti Formativi Universitari (CFU/ECTS credits): Italian university courses are based on the CFU system. 1 CFU is equal to 25 hours of study. The average annual academic workload for a full-time student is generally assumed to be 60 CFU. CFU and ECTS credits serve the same purpose and generally have the same value.
Degree class: Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes that have the same learning objectives and activities are grouped into “degree classes". The educational content of each programme is set autonomously by each university; however, universities are required to include certain educational activities (and the corresponding number of CFU credits) set at the national level. These requirements are established in relation to each degree class. Degrees in the same class have the same legal value.
Double/Joint degrees: the Italian universities may establish degree programmes in partnership with other Italian or foreign universities. Upon completion of these courses, graduates are awarded a joint or double/multiple degree, one from each Partner University.
