Metodi didattici

For each topic covered in the course, the theoretical part and a case will be presented. Students will then have to apply the knowledge acquired to the design and evaluation of interventions aimed at improving working well-being in a specific organizational contex.

In particular:

- Weekly: Application of the knowledge aquired to a specific organizational context (in small group, classroom presentation)

- At the end of the course. Small groups have to deliver a paper describing the full intervention in the specific organizational context, and to present the work done.

Modalità di verifica e valutazione dell'apprendimento

The final assessment of is based on:

- A small-group project on work stress prevention. This will give 0-20 points

- An “individual reflection paper” on the contents of the module. This will give 0-10 points

Scoring from 0 to 20 (0-10 for “individual reflection paper”) points is graduated as follow:

• 0-4 points (0-2): markedly inadequate, evident misunderstanding, lack of critical comprehension, or content off-topic
• 5-9 points (3-4): presentation and/or discussion are not fully adequate; imprecisions, surface exam and description of the contents, lack of critical comprehension
• 10-14 point (5-6): presentation and discussion are sufficiently clear and understandable; there are elements that denote critical deepening of the contents, albeit not fully evident
• 14-19 points (7-8): presentation and discussion are very clear, lexicon is specific to the topic, evidence is clearly understood and described, and critical comprehension is evident; some of these aspects, however, is present but not fully achieved
• 20 points (9-10): presentation and discussion fully meet the requirements as it concerns clarity, lexicon specificity, understanding and explanation of evidence.
