Programma

The course “Instructional design and evaluation processes” is carried out with interactive teaching methods and takes into account the connection that exists between the educational planning and the interventions carried out over time. The teaching explores some issues useful for defining the educational system between 0-6 years old. The key topics of the course are useful to design quality educational experiences, the curriculum, the educational relationship (adult-child, peer to peer and peer to adult), the space-time environment, the game. The course includes tools to identify information, design, documents and narrate the educational experience: concept maps, the observation grids, the questionnaire, the logbook, the observation and exploration of the space.
The teaching illustrates the basic elements of planning for children from 0 to 3 years old and defines macro and micro-design formats. With a view to promoting and qualifying educational continuity in the zerosei integrated system and developing the vertical curriculum, the following are presented: some strategic devices (peer tutoring, shared reading, reality tasks); some quality and participatory research practices (Research-Action and Research-Training); the dynamics of the working group, the methods of coordination and the exercise of educational leadership.

Programma

The course aims to provide theoretical and practical elements for the design, implementation and evaluation of educational and evaluative projects and interventions in children's educational contexts, through the use of appropriate educational and didactic strategies and methodologies oriented towards full development of the potential, respecting the times and styles of growth and learning of each child. It is also proposed a reflection on the use of digital technologies in didactic planning for the 0-6 sector.
The course also provides for the activation of paths for reflection and self-assessment of the knowledge and skills acquired during attendance and with the help of comparison with authoritative witnesses.
