Prerequisites
Even if there are no particular prerequisites, in the awareness that many students will be approaching Education maybe for the first time during this course, for a proficient participation to the lessons students are expected to have a cultural attitude of willingness to listen, grasp and actively elaborate, discussing in a collaborative way, the theoretic and practical issues posed by pedagogical analysis.
Learning outcomes
This class is aimed at providing students with
- knowledge on the subject of communication in education
- the ability to discuss in an informed way and with reference to scientific literature the questions inherent to educational issues
- tools for critical reading of communication dynamics in educational contexts
- tools for self-analysis in relation to communication dynamics in educational contexts
Course contents
General Pedagogy B (6 credits-36 hours), professor : Donatella Savio (the class will take place in the first half of the first semester).
Course title: "Emotional dimensions and non-directive communication in teaching and learning contexts"
The course offers an in-depth study on the relational dimensions that characterize the teaching and learning processes in a school context. In the first place, with reference to psychoanalytic theories, the deep emotional dimensions that characterize these processes will be considered. Secondly, within the framework of C. Rogers' thought on "non-directive" communication, student-centered communication methods will be outlined that allow the teacher both to promote meaningful learning processes and to manage relational problems with students in a positive way.
Teaching methods
All the professor's lessons aim at favouring dialogue and discussion in group work. The participation of other professors/researchers/experts with an interest in the course topic is possible.
