Learning outcomes

By the end of the laboratory, the student: - will be able to apply what discussed during the integrated course in an environment of simulated learning; - will be able to reflect critically in group on the issues proposed.

Course contents

DISABILITY AND EDUCATIONAL RELATIONSHIPS

Workshop leader: Prof. Roberta Caldin (with Alessia Cinotti)

The workshop- linked to the inclusive perspective - aims to investigate and reflect on the main theoretical approaches linked to the "pedagogy of educational relations", with particular reference to triadic situations (e.g. fathers/mothers and children, educators/parents and children) and/or small group situations (e.g. play, conflicts among peers etc.), in the presence of disabilities.

If the fusional dependency between mother and child is physiological in the very first months of a child's life, it must, however, evolve into a triadic dimension, including the father (and, subsequently, the extended parental network, the neighbourhood, the educators of early childhood services, the school etc.). This is an important passage that helps the child to leave the primary fusion and to open up to affective relationships outside the family. However, the transition to the environment outside the family context is neither linear nor obvious and requires an interweaving of relationships between a plurality of figures, such as that between parents, children and educators/teachers. In order to develop a willingness to explore the world and openness to other relationships, the child must first experience the ability to "enter and exit" intra-family relationships, to involve himself with the family figures who care for him, but also with those outside (Primary School ecc.). 

The methodology of the workshop foresees an interplay of theoretical and experiential moments, group and individual work, together with the viewing of films and/or documentaries. Moreover, if possible, a meeting with privileged witnesses is foreseen, i.e. with fathers who are confronted with the disability of a young child.

Alessia Cinotti will focus more on the triad fathers/mothers and children, starting from the importance of the educational role of fathers in raising children (and, in particular, in situations of disability, at school).

Attendance at the Lab is obligatory. The student can make NO more than 25% absences out of the 24 hours scheduled.

Readings/Bibliography

Bibliographic indications will be offered during the workshop for the in-depth study of some of the contents presented.

Assessment methods

The evaluation of the Laboratory will depend on:

• Active participation;

• The production (individual o by group) of the product/products required;

• The reference to bibliographic sources;

• The capability to link synthetically the presented contents to personal experience.

The Laboratory, in addition to an active participation, includes the realization of a ‘laboratory product’ defined by the professor (relation, educational project, life-story ect.).

The evaluation of the Laboratory foresees four ratings:

REJECTED: the student will have to attend again the Laboratory;

-1;

0;

+1.

The evaluation will be made known by the professor through the personal web-site and will contribute, taking in consideration the middle vote of the different educational moduls, to define the final evaluation of the exam. The evaluation will be valid until the verbalization of the final vote.
