Oral examination
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
Self-knowledge: an educator is his/her own main professional instrument. It is therefore necessary to achieve self-knowledge.
Life as a couple: to investigate interpersonal relationships becomes a job instrument and the dinamics that take place in a couple’s relationship become an object of reflection and conscience.
Family: family is perceived both as a place for educational intervention and as everybody’s pedagogical past. Post-war to present day evolution of family models.
Support/care: in a supporting relationship one carefully researches one’s own professional goal.
New and old media: the media are hidden persuaders, their knowledge and their usage in pedagogical sense become an urgent educational emergency.
In the sign of female: the path of the female gender has given rise to the pedagogy of difference. Preventing violence against women requires a cultural change where respect for others is a basic element of coexistence.
Time of education: the education time is the time of respect for diversity, valuing differences, taking charge with respect for others.
Educational Care: to take care of the patient and not the disease, to remain close in sorrow, to support in rehabilitation and healing pathways or just accompanying suffering. Care as becoming pedagogical research.
Pedagogical work: from pedagogical work to new teaching methodologies; different forms of communication; implicit and explicit methodologies i.e. organisational and observational methodologies for the identification and planning of objectives
Knowledge of the self: the educator is himself as the main instrument in his work, for this reason a path of self-knowledge is necessary.
The couple: investigating the events of interpersonal relationships becomes a working tool, the mechanisms that are established in relationships between two become the object of reflection and conscience.
The educating family: the family seen both as a place of educational intervention and as everyone's pedagogical past. Evolution of family models from the post-war period to today
The helping relationship: the helping relationship identifies the search for one's own professional meaning to be carefully evaluated.
New and old media: the media are hidden persuaders, their knowledge and their use in a pedagogical sense become a pressing educational emergency.
In the sign of the feminine: the path of the female gender has given rise to the pedagogy of difference. Preventing violence against women implies a cultural change where respect for others is a basic element of coexistence.
The time of educating: the time of education is the time of respect for diversity, the valorization of differences, taking charge with respect for others.
The cure: taking care of the patient and not of the pathology, staying close in pain, supporting in the rehabilitation and healing paths or just accompanying them in suffering. Care as becoming a pedagogical research.
The role of the educator: from pedagogical work to the teaching of change; different forms of communication; implicit and explicit teaching methods, i.e. organisational, observational, planning and objective identification methods. Who is and who is called to be the professional educator.
