An educator is responsible for the planning and achievement of all educational goals aimed at the individual’s global development and his/her positive social integration. An educator therefore promotes those psychological, relational and environmental conditions which help people to develop their growth and autonomy potential in conditions of need.
The course’s objectives are therefore the following:
- To gain theorical-pedagogical knowledge in order to reach critical thought.
- To gain basic elements for self observation and self criticism both at work and in relationships, i.e. self-awareness (personal characteristics, limits and operational and relationship skills).
- To learn how to interpret and understand people’s needs in their complexity and in different contexts.
- To learn how to relate to others in interpersonal and group relationships at a professional level.
- To learn how to work in a team
At the end of the module the students will be able to know the basic elements of educational action from a methodological-didactic point of view. Moreover, they will be able to orient themselves in the scenarios of the new educational challenges of the complex society, to confront themselves with reference paradigms related to special pedagogy.
