Corso di laurea magistrale in
Programmazione e gestione dei servizi educativi e formativi

On completion of the course, students should:

-          be familiar with and have a good understanding of the various educational and welfare models implemented in the period under study;

-          be familiar with and have a good understanding of the evolution of key educational and welfare institutions, understood as forms of intervention produced in response to needs for care and education as they emerged from the social context;

-          be able to reconstruct the history of a specific institution based on analysis of the documentary sources (archive and print materials);

-          be able to critically and independently compare the different types of institution, in terms of their similarities, differences and overall effectiveness in terms of outcomes.

Compatibly with the evolution of the health situation and with the national laws and prescriptions of the University of Turin, the lessons, lasting a total of 54 hours (9 credits), will take place in the classroom with the help of multimedia materials; some lessons will be dedicated to the analysis, in small groups, of documentary sources. The group work of the students will be privileged, also in view of the preparation of the exam.

Visits to some local institutions are planned.

The course will however be available online by means of materials uploaded on the University platform by the teacher and the lessons recorded.
