Assessment methods
The exam will be written; for the students who attended the lessons the exam will consist in multiple choice questions, while for the students who did not attend the lessons the exam will consist in open questions. Moreover, for both attending and not-attending students, there will be the possibility to have an oral examination, to verify the degree of knowledge of the texts and the corresponding critical processing skills.
The criteria used for the evaluation refer to the following indicators: 1. ability to analyze a text, linking the various parts; 2. to connect the parts and connect the contents to synthetic professional experiences 3. to elaborate individual parts in a synthetic and exhaustive manner 4. to argue with conceptual clarity by safeguarding theoretical references 5. to re-elaborate critically and implement personal reflections 6. to use , in relation to the professional profile of reference, the knowledge presented in the texts 7. to support and enrich the discussion also with suggestions that emerged in the classroom. Since all the topics discussed are considered significant for the purpose of evaluation, there are some parts of the course that exercise a greater weight and refer to the following topics: 1. pedagogy of emotions and its relationship with neuroscience studies and with cognitivist psychology ; 2. ways of observing contexts and managing roles in the educational relationship; 3. Empathy and tension in the dialectic between opacity and transparency.
