31125 - Professional Skills Laboratory: Continuing Education and Lifelong Learning Sciences II (G.D)

Course contents

The workshop focuses on the analysis of self-assessment tools useful for supporting, in adult training contexts, processes of self-reflection and improvement in relation to strategic competences for lifelong learning and professional practice.

In particular, through the proposed contents and activities, the workshop aims to promote:

• a reflection on adult learning processes and on the concept of the adult as "self-directed learner";
• a reflection on strategic competences that are fundamental to effectively deal with learning and work situations and to manage the continuous process of one's personal and professional development, in the perspective of lifelong learning;
• the analysis of specific standardized tools for the self-assessment of these strategic competences;
• the acquisition of skills related to the use of these tools (from administration to analysis and return of results).

Implications related to the use of the tools under consideration for the design of training interventions aimed at promoting the improvement of strategic competences will also be analyzed and discussed.
