Course info
The focus of the 2nd cycle degree course in "Lifelong learning science" is centred on issues related to adult education and to training in contexts of work, social unease and communities in public administration and in the private social sector. The educational programme covers the typical disciplinary ambits of pedagogical and teaching methodological, psychological, sociological, philosophical, juridical, economic and political subjects. These subjects are accompanied by other educational activities related to various themes and subjects aiming at integrating the knowledge of pedagogical sciences with the study of other sciences (Ecology, Musicology and History of Music, Germanic Philology, Glottology and Linguistics, Modern Language Teaching Methodology, French/Spanish/English/German/Albanian/Arabic language, Demoethnoanthropological studies, Motorial activities methods and teaching methodologies, Theoretical/Moral Philosophy, Theory of languages, History of philosophy, General and Social Pedagogy, History of Pedagogy, Special teaching Methodology and Pedagogy, Experimental Pedagogy, Psychology of development/of education , Industrial and organisational psychology, Dynamic Psychology, Political Science, Sociology of economic processes and work/of environment/ Regional sociology, Sociology of political phenomena). These activities also aim at driving the educational programme towards the needs of the labour market. During the course, students will also have the opportunity to experiment, through specific educational activities, the close observation of issues and key aspects of their future professional role through the acquisition of useful knowledge for entering the labour market, according to an "empowerment" logic and to the guidelines proposed in the phase of planning, or according to their interest and personal skills. The course trains professionals capable of managing aspects of adult lifelong education in contexts of work, social unease and communities in public administration and in the private social sector. The specific objectives of the course are related to the advanced knowledge and competences which are needed to work as specialists of adult education in professional and lifelong education actions, in actions for the requalification, vocational guidance skills assessment and job placement. Graduates will achieve their educational outcomes in the following sectors: - Pedagogical and teaching-methodological subjects; - Ethics, economics, Law, Business Organisation, Economic Policy, European, National and Regional law; - Computer science and telematic communication for distance learning; - Foreign languages and literatures, with respect also to specific vocabularies.
- Public and private institutions and agencies providing lifelong education actions and services (professional training, adult education, etc...); - private companies, professional training agencies and institutions providing services for companies, employment, socio-educational and cultural services; - third sector organisations; - educational services of public administrations.
In accordance with the educational objectives and the expected learning outcomes, the final examination consists of an articulated final dissertation demonstrating the achievement of the specialisation objectives of the course. The dissertation, written under the guidance of a supervisor, should investigate a research project or an innovative theoretical element, and it should be accompanied by a detailed and up-to-date bibliography; the dissertation will be discussed in front of a Board appointed by The Board of the Degree Course and approved by the Dean of the Faculty, in accordance with the provisions of Course and faculty regulations.
