Pedagogical design coord. services children adolescents

The degree programme in Pedagogical Design and Coordination of Services for Children and Adolescents trains experienced professionals in the field of educational sciences, with a particular focus on the socio-educational sector of childhood and adolescence.

Students acquire in-depth knowledge about children, adolescents and their psychological development, the processes of social change that involve them and the legislation concerning their rights. They develop critical skills to evaluate family and social contexts and to develop individualized projects and educational intervention strategies. They are trained on the most current research trends around the themes of the integrated training system, the coordination of services for children and adolescents and the methodology of educational planning. They acquire specialized skills to intervene effectively in situations of juvenile difficulty and manage places of aggregation and youth training. They learn to collaborate, to mediate conflicts and to operate in a network logic. They learn to design and coordinate socio-educational services, working in teams and using the English language, and refine their computer and telematic communication skills.

A further crucial aspect of the training course is the laboratories and the curricular internship, considered privileged tools to integrate theory with practice and to allow students to test their skills and abilities in the direct context of the world of work.

The Degree Course in Pedagogical Design and Coordination of Services for Children and Adolescents provides for 50% of the activities in presence and 50% remotely, in order to favor students who work or reside off-site.

In addition, the course participates in the Edunext project, promoted by the Ministry of University and Research (MUR), which involves the collaboration of 35 traditional universities (non-telematic) and 5 Italian AFAM (Higher Education in Art and Music) institutions, supported by 55 partners (regional institutions, cultural bodies, associations and companies) and which aims to promote quality education accessible to all through digital tools. The didactic and technological innovation proposed by the participating Degree Courses allows a better adaptation to the different learning rhythms of students.

The teaching organization provides for the definition and distribution of teaching hours between face-to-face lessons and distance learning. Face-to-face lessons take place every other week, from October to December and from the end of February to the end of May, and are concentrated in only two intensive days (Friday all day and Saturday morning). In the remote weeks, there are recorded video lessons (which can be used at any time) and virtual classroom moments to be organized in the early evening (18.00-20.00) for the performance of some re-elaboration activities (e-tivity).

Special disciplinary tutors, experienced professionals in educational work with children and adolescents, will help students translate their learning into practical skills.

Attendance is compulsory only for supplementary teaching activities (internship and workshops), which will take place on some intensive days according to a calendar that will be communicated at the beginning of the lessons.
