The objective of the program is to qualify young students who know how to cope with the psychological processes that characterize the educational and school system. There are many facets that characterize the teaching profession, in addition to the responsibility of the class, it is important to improve reflective skills on one's work with a view to "socialization of skills", interprofessional and heteroprofessional, formal and informal training. It is important to develop skills to know how to work, share, help each other in an interdisciplinary exchange perspective together with the group with colleagues and naturally with parents. Particular attention will be given to interprofessional relationships, to the teamwork of teachers and professionals inside and outside the educational context and to the construction of inclusive learning communities capable of enhancing the differences of each and every one. Some insights will concern relationships with the family, representations and narratives, the meanings and signifiers involved in the relationship with parents. The dynamics of the class group, relationships with teachers and educators, elements of educational psychology, classroom management, leadership, learning styles, relationships with the network of local services will be discussed. The most important thing to keep in mind is that every student is different, it is necessary to know how to diversify teaching and teach in such a way as to promote the learning of all students, taking into account in particular special educational needs and the emotional-affective processes involved. In fact, in particular attention will be given to the emotional and affective aspects in growth paths, analyzing the role of emotions in learning processes and in the educational relationship, attachment styles, in learning, adolescent problems, the well-being of teachers and educators and community building of practice.

- acquire knowledge relating to the emotional and affective sphere, on socialization processes in educational contexts and in particular in schools;

-consolidated skills in observing scholastic-extracurricular contexts:

-enhance communicative-assertive skills (ability to create inclusive contexts such as learning environments and communities of relationships) with colleagues and students;

- learn project methods for working in groups (co-teaching, tem-teaching, etc.):

- ability to share open and flexible ongoing planning/programming, implementation of activities and evaluation models with the group of class teachers, which can be adapted to different levels of difficulty);

-develop mediation skills, management of conflict dynamics  congruent with a constructive and social vision of the socialization learning process;

- ability to adopt and use integrated and flexible teaching strategies based on the needs and real socialization-learning processes implemented by pupils and students;

Expected results

1.   Knowledge and understanding.

-At the end of the course the student will have acquired: knowledge of the main lines of the epistemological debate in the field of Special Pedagogy with particular reference to its constituent elements (problems and methods) and relationships with other educational sciences;

- ability to identify, define and compare the fundamental characteristics of the theoretical and methodological approaches of Special Pedagogy with particular reference to inclusive scholastic and social processes.

2.   Applying knowledge and understanding. At the end of the course the student will have to demonstrate the ability to:

-know and understand the concepts and theories covered by the course; recognize the different theoretical approaches and operate conceptually with them;

-analyze the characteristics of some inclusive tools relating to the school environment, such as the PEI, PDP, PAI interpreted in light of the constructs explored.

3.   Making judgments. At the end of the course the student will have to demonstrate the ability to: use knowledge and concepts that allow reasoning according to the plural and open logic of the discipline;

-identify intervention methodologies suited to different contexts (ICF logic);

-know how to propose intervention hypotheses and deal with pedagogical cases relating to inclusion, plan good inclusive practices of care and help

4.   Communication skills. At the end of the course the student must have acquired the ability to:

·  use the specific vocabulary of the discipline in its meanings of reflection and operational practices in the field;

·  knowing how to communicate with congruent tools addressed during the teaching course.

·  communicate with specific disciplinary language with school operators;

5.   Learning skills. At the end of the course the student will have acquired the ability to:

·  analyze and critically evaluate, in their reflective and epistemological aspects, the constructs of the discipline relating to the scholastic context and beyond;

·  independently investigate the problems relating to different educational contexts (school and out of school);

·  find the sources necessary for the development of reflections and projects aimed at the inclusive perspective;

·  build intervention hypotheses relating to pupils/people with disabilities and BES.

Teaching

The course will be organized using "plural" teaching based on frontal lessons, but also term papers, videos, individual research, laboratory exercises, seminars, debates on specific topics, group work, etc.

To encourage innovative teaching, the course includes some moments of laboratory activity relating to the narrative project entitled: "Meeting diversity: sensitive knowledge", with the use of mixed qualitative and quantitative research methods.

There will be a specific moment of formative evaluation on some of the topics addressed, without suspension of lessons.

Innovative teaching methods

Innovative teaching

The in-person teaching method will be enriched with individual and group exercises and insights. Some topics of the course will be treated through the use of different languages e.g. illustrative videos, film clips, documentaries. Students will be encouraged to create multimedia products according to the narrative-autobiographical method (video, podcast, etc.) with the use of other expressive languages such as music and dance. Furthermore, strategies such as the "Flipped classroom", role-playing, simulations, games, the reading of articles or passages of essays, books, poems to be discussed together in a critical-constructive way with "Debate" practices will be implemented . Finally, the intervention of experts is expected.

Course books

E' possibile scegliere uno dei seguenti testi:

Assessment

The assessment of learning will take place thanks to a final exam carried out in written mode with multiple choice answers and possible open question (e.g., short essay with space and time limits) as the objective of the test is mainly to verify the ability to use knowledge and concepts that allow reflection following the specific epistemic logic of the discipline. It becomes of particular importance to identify and define the main theoretical constructs related to inclusive processes; develop some effective pedagogical-didactic tools; knowing how to construct intervention hypotheses functional to the training needs of people with disabilities and SEN. In addition, moments of monitoring and ongoing evaluation are envisaged.and by appointment.

Disabilità e DSA

Le studentesse e gli studenti che hanno registrato la certificazione di disabilità o la certificazione di DSA presso l'Ufficio Inclusione e diritto allo studio, possono chiedere di utilizzare le mappe concettuali (per parole chiave) durante la prova di esame.

A tal fine, è necessario inviare le mappe, due settimane prima dell’appello di esame, alla o al docente del corso, che ne verificherà la coerenza con le indicazioni delle linee guida di ateneo e potrà chiederne la modifica.
