Learning outcomes

At the end of the course the student: - knows the theoretical framework and the main openings of re-educational intervention identified by phenomenological pedagogy in order to interpret and intervene towards difficult subjects; - has in-depth knowledge of relational re-educational strategies addressed both to the individual and to a group of individuals and has skills to direct the re-educational process towards experiences of awareness and assumption of responsibility; - is able to apply the knowledge acquired in care practices, counselling, helping relationships; - has adequate knowledge and skills to interact with difficult subjects with a reflexive and problematic attitude, because it recognizes the risks that are consequent to different forms of prejudice, social and cultural conditioning and stigmatization, ideological drifts; - has adequate knowledge and skills in the field of adult education, both in heteroformative and self-training; - knows how to place the knowledge learned in different contexts and types of service, at the relational, organizational and coordination level.

Course contents

The course proposes a review of theoretical models to interpret the concept of marginality and operational perspectives that can be implemented in education to reduce the phenomena of disadvantage, difficulty, marginality.

The first part of the course will be dedicated: to the analysis of the main theoretical and interpretative strands that in the humanities have contributed to the interpretation of the phenomena of marginality and social deviance; to the definition of the specificities, competences and contexts that characterize the pedagogical work.

The second part foresees the study of operative contexts and methodological approaches in which the educational intervention can be concretized in order to reduce the phenomena of discomfort, difficulty, marginality, such as communities for minors, prison, street work. Therefore, the coordinates of various types of intervention will be analysed also through testimonies of operational experiences.

Teaching methods

The course, which adheres to the hybrid teaching model proposed by the University of Bologna, envisages a proportion (70%) of face-to-face lectures and a proportion (30%) of blended teaching.

Lectures: the presentation of content through lectures will be flanked by presentations, film and video viewings, in-depth readings and meetings with experts.
Attendance and active participation in the lessons is highly recommended to facilitate the study of examination texts and to take advantage of the opportunity for comparison and exchange among peers.

The 8 lessons in blended mode will be held remotely (instead of face-to-face) at dates and times to be announced by the lecturer (in advance before the start of the lessons).
Only those students will be admitted to the lessons in the virtual classroom who can guarantee their presence (camera on) and willingness to actively interact with their classmates and the lecturer for the duration of the lesson.
These will not be remote lectures but didactics in which students participate in activities such as: group work, case studies, discussion on topics contained in the texts, flipped learning.
Therefore, during the course, but outside of class time, students will be required to study certain teaching materials in order to be able to actively participate in the blended learning hours.
The link to enter the live Teams classroom can be found on the course page.

Assessment methods

Information for Erasmus students: the course language, program and the examination methods are the same as for other students (a good knowledge of the Italian language is required). It will not be possible to take the examination in other languages

The exam consists of a written test composed of up to 31 closed-answer questions (multiple choice, true/false, completion, etc.).

The performance required for a successful completion of the test are:

- in-depth knowledge of the study texts;

- reflective and critical skills on the content covered in the respective modules;

- correct use and understanding of the Italian language (grammar and syntax).

The final grade will be given by the number of correct answers (all 31 correct answers equals 30 cum laude; 18 correct answers equals 18). Missed answers are equivalent to wrong answers (0 points).

In order to take the exam, students in the classroom (presence mode, except for new health emergencies) must have a personal laptop or tablet smartphone or available.

If you are equipped with one of the two devices, please write to the teacher a few days before the exam.

Duration
The test will last 35 minutes from the time you enter the test.

The procedure for taking the exam will be:
- register in Alma Esami https://almaesami.unibo.it/almaesami/welcome.htm (please note that for written exams registration closes one week before the date of the exam); when registering on Alma exams students will be automatically distributed in shifts according to the order of registration. Those who do not wish to participate in the exams are requested to cancel in time to avoid occupying places in the shifts and causing inconvenience.
