Professionalizzare il tirocinio curricolare del Corso di Studi in Scienze dell’Educazione. Principi pedagogici, competenze trasversali, strumenti

Abstract

This book responds to a concrete need: to offer students a clear, coherent, and operational model for undertaking their curricular practicum with awareness, responsibility, and a professional mindset. It integrates the theoretical–pedagogical framework, university regulations, and practical tools, turning the practicum into a genuine bridge between the university and local educational services. Part I defines the essence, functions, and institutional architecture of the curricular practicum, clarifying supervisory roles, epistemological dimensions, and educational aims. Part II presents evidence from educational research, a reasoned map of the transferable competencies the practicum can foster (with illustrative cases), and a toolkit for monitoring, documenting, and assessing the practicum experience—from the logbook to the final report—culminating in an extensive documentary appendix of worksheets, tests, and ready-to-use materials. Designed for the entire three-year L-19 degree class (tracks in “Early Childhood Education” and “Socio-Pedagogical and Community Education”), this volume is a reliable guide for students training as professional educators and a resource for university and host-organization tutors, for faculty in the human sciences who run practice-oriented workshops, and for practitioners engaged, in various capacities, in educational settings.
