Teaching methods

Classes will be interactive much as possible, encouraging students to think about concrete situations (even brought by the students themselves) by applying the theoretical paradigms of the Ecological theory of development and Developmental Psychopathology.

Part of the course will take place in e-learning, where it will be proposed educational materials on the two theoretical paradigms.

Lessons will include the interventions of experts (manager of the Child Protection Social Service, staff of residential care units).

Assessment methods

For non-attending students the exam is written with three open questions (1 and a half hours).

Attending students will be evaluated in itinere and at the end of the course with criteria that will be presented at the beginning of the course

Teaching tools

Classes will be conducted with the help of PowerPoint slides to illustrate concepts and research data.
Part of the course will take place via e-learning (the details will be provided at the beginning of the course).
