Programme

The course will enhance the role of the coordinator through the techniques "praxis-theory-praxis", the internship and the narration to ensure the pedagogical dimension consolidating the intentionality of the educational action.
It will be characterized by a didactic/operational cut: each thematic nucleus will be supported by experiential modalities and punctual feedback.

OBJECTIVES

• Definition of the role of the coordinator for the accompaniment of the teams (responsibilities and competences)
• "Focus" of the coordination style: personal specificities, role and functions delivered through a specific mandate, values and culture of the organization.
• Consolidation of the intentionality of the educational action of the service and the team: the figure of the coordinator as guardian of the pedagogical dimension of the service. The coordinator is called to give meaning to the events that happen in the light of a constant reference to the design tools such as the individualized educational project of the users and the service project;
• Identification of resources to be reinforced for the improvement of individualized projects
• Acquisition of key concepts and guiding criteria of participatory processes
• Acquisition of tools to evaluate the coherence of educational action

METHODOLOGY AND TOOLS

The complexity of the issues that the coordination function poses requires specific attention from the training point of view: the cruciality of an ongoing training, on the work of support to the exercise of the tasks (experiential learning) is highlighted.Very often the learning of skills related to coordination functions takes place essentially through experiential methods, in direct contact, that is, with the organizational and operational reality. In addition, a further reference to experiential learning can be identified in the importance of the re-elaboration of experience: this role is often accessed as a result of substantial training and work experiences, which, however, do not always correspond to adequate recognition in terms of qualification. The proposed approach is that of "practice learning community":from this perspective, different people performing similar functions share knowledge, reflection and innovation efforts in the face of common problems arising from professional practice. According to this approach, which makes use of the technique of narration, these realities are composed on the basis of spontaneous processes of recognition of affinities and common interests.
The coordinator evolves his role towards a function of learning from practice by mediating the relationship between subjects, problems deriving from professional practice and training needs.
The main tools that will be used are: Classroom Games, Observation Grid, Video (or other evocative codes), Self case, Creative Writing.

Type of delivery of the course

The meetings will take place in presence through the use of experiential training methods and techniques. Students will be accompanied with lectures and will experience what they have learned in their internship and lessons through supervision activities (with the use of tools such as autocaso, role playing, etc.) During the course will be delivered tools to rework the experience with the use of narrative techniques. In the event of an extension of the COVID-19 health emergency, all the provisions governing the methods of carrying out teaching activities and student evaluation will be transposed. In particular, the following methods will be applied: distance learning with the use of the platforms in use.

Attendance

Since the teaching is structured on an operational didactic cut and to ensure the continuity and effectiveness of the same, the attendance of at least eighty percent of the classroom meetings is strongly recommended.

Type of evaluation

The evaluation at the end of the course will take place through an oral exam aimed at reworking the experience declined through the deepening and representation of one's own style in the role of coordination. To this end, during the meetings we will work with a narrative tool that will then be the subject of the examination. The exam will be oriented on the verification of the knowledge and skills acquired in the construction of the professional self.
