The course of study - divided into a five-year single-cycle path - qualifies for the role of teacher in nursery school and primary school, within state and private institutes.
The path is characterized by a constant reference to practice and a close relationship between teachers and students: through the teaching system based on laboratories, and the organization in small groups, students are encouraged to put into practice what they have learned and studied, simultaneously learning to design, develop and implement innovative teaching projects. The internship is intended as an integral part of the study plan, allowing students to constantly compare themselves with reality and to constantly update their idea of the school reality in which they will operate.
The aim of the degree course is to train a set of teaching, disciplinary and professional development skills, capable of enabling students to organize teaching-learning activities, thus providing an adequate theoretical and methodological apparatus, capable of understanding the specificities and relationships between the different training areas, as well as the opportunity to compare them (pedagogy, psychology, sociology, Italian language and grammar, new technologies, motor sciences, history, geography, scientific and mathematical disciplines, disciplinary teaching, English language).
Through the teaching laboratories, the problems of teaching-learning will be addressed by placing the knowledge studied in a problematic and formative relationship with the development of skills, allowing students to 'experience' significantly the teaching professionalism. The particular ways of conducting the educational laboratories - simulation of experiences, case studies in the pedagogical, psychological, motor, historical-linguistic fields, role-play - allow us to provide future teachers with methodological and planning tools that allow them to effectively address the problems related to learning, the development of student skills, the translation of the National Guidelines for the curriculum, the development of scientific thinking.
Intended as an integral part of the laboratory activity, the mandatory internship - carried out within nursery and primary schools - is designed to enable them to acquire in the field the organizational-didactic knowledge essential for the development of professionalism. The students will be guided by tutor-supervisors who, through the activity in small groups, the analysis and comparison with the projects, the documentation, will stimulate reflection, revision, and improvement re-elaboration of the experience conducted in the school. To support the reflective and accountability activity, students will be able to count on an e-portfolio system.
