Laurea quadriennale (Second cycle degree/ Four-year degree) in Primary Education Sciences

For the academic year 2008/2009 the Ministry of University and Research has provided for the activation of a new four-year (Old System) closed number for the Degree Programme in Science of Primary Education.

The Ministerial Decree 18 June 2008 [http://www.miur.it/0006Menu_C/0012Docume/0015Atti_M/7154Decret_cf2.htm] has set the exam for admission to the degree programme for September 10 2008. The public notice for the admission is available on this site.

Unlike the 2008 Financial Law provision, art. 6 of the Decree Law nr. 137 of 09.01.2008 presenting “Urgent provisions pertaining to university education” restores the qualifying value of the Degree Programme in Science of Primary Education. This decree, if converted into Law, will confirm the provision contained in the decree.

Active four-year degree programme: offered to those who intend to teach in the primary and infant school: its objective is the education of a teaching figure with knowledge pertaining to infancy and its process of growth and development. The degree programme is open to students who intend to register for the first year or are passing through, transferring or at their second degree.

Training and educational activities
To achieve the credits necessary for obtaining the Degree, students must carry out activities- course units, workshops and internships – as indicated in the Study Programme.

Course units
Students may sustain intermediate tests of assessment and exams related to the degree programme, ONLY at the end of the short semester in which teachers have held lessons.
Tests and exams may be written or oral, or partially written and partially oral; the procedures will be explained by each professor along with the programme contained in this guide and valid for the entire year.
The schedule for tests and exams pertaining to the sessions is posted on the bulletin board (and also on the Internet site of the Degree Programme) suitably in advance so that students can programme their degree programme.
This Degree Programme provides exclusively for INTEGRATED annual exams: this means that the students must sustain a test of assessment for each module making-up the entire integrated year.

Workshops
Workshops take place between the theoretical courses and internships as first connection between understanding and knowing how to do it in a controlled situation.
