•FEEDBACK AND ASSESSMENT IN NARRATIVE LEARNING (1 HOUR LESSON; 2 HOURS WORKSHOP)
SIMULATIONS AND SELF-ASSESSMENT AND PEER REVIEW ACTIVITIES TO DEVELOP CRITICAL AND REFLECTIVE SKILLS, FOCUSED ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF READING AND STORYTELLING PRACTICES.
Teaching Methods
THE TEACHING METHODS OF THE COURSE ARE DESIGNED TO IMMERSE STUDENTS IN A DYNAMIC AND INTERACTIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT, WHICH FAVORS ACTIVE AND PARTICIPATORY METHODS, DIRECT EXPERIMENTATION AND GROUP WORK. THESE APPROACHES ARE AIMED AT PROMOTING NOT ONLY THEORETICAL UNDERSTANDING, BUT ALSO THE PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED.
•INTERACTIVE LECTURES AND GUIDED TEXT ANALYSIS:
USE OF STORYTELLING AND AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL NARRATION WITH SESSIONS DEDICATED TO THE CRITICAL EXAMINATION OF LITERARY WORKS FOR CHILDREN;
•READING WORKSHOP AND DESIGN OF NARRATIVE ENVIRONMENTS
DIRECT EXPERIMENTATION OF READING ALOUD, THROUGH PRACTICAL ACTIVITIES;
•GROUP DISCUSSIONS AND PEER TEACHING
SHARING IDEAS, EXPERIENCES AND READING STRATEGIES;
•COLLABORATIVE DESIGN OF READING SESSIONS
WORK IN GROUPS TO DESIGN AND ORGANIZE ENGAGING READING SESSIONS;
•SIMULATIONS, SELF-ASSESSMENT AND PEER REVIEW
PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF THE ACQUIRED SKILLS, REFLECTION ON ONE'S OWN LEARNING,
MUTUAL EVALUATION BETWEEN STUDENTS FOR CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK;
•WORKSHOP "RE-CONSTITUENT FAIRY TALES" (20 H)
THROUGH THE OPERATION ON FAIRY TALES, ACTIVATION OF CRITICAL REFLECTIONS ON CONSTITUTIONAL PRINCIPLES, REINTERPRETING STORIES IN THEATRICAL OR EXPRESSIVE FORM
Verification of learning
THE ASSESSMENT CONSISTS OF AN ORAL EXAM. THE FINAL COLLOQUIUM WILL AIM TO ASSESS THE STUDENT'S OVERALL UNDERSTANDING OF THE TOPICS COVERED IN THE COURSE, HIS/HER ABILITY TO CONNECT THEORY AND PRACTICE AND TO CRITICALLY REFLECT ON THE TOPICS DISCUSSED.
THE SCORE OF THE ORAL EXAM DEPENDS ON THE DEPTH OF ANALYSIS AND THE STUDENT'S ABILITY TO EFFECTIVELY AND CRITICALLY PRESENT THE CONTENTS ADDRESSED DURING THE COURSE. THE SCORE GIVEN TO THE ORAL EXAM AIMS TO ASSESS THE LEVEL OF THEORETICAL DEPTH ACHIEVED BY THE STUDENT, AS WELL AS HIS/HER ABILITY TO CONCRETELY APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED.
THE MINIMUM SCORE IN THE ORAL EXAM IS BASED ON THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE MAIN TOPICS OF THE THEORETICAL-PEDAGOGICAL DEBATE ON EARLY CHILDHOOD LITERATURE, OF THE METHODOLOGIES OF READING ALOUD AND OF THE CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF LITERARY TEXTS FOR CHILDREN. THE MAXIMUM GRADE IS OBTAINED WHEN THE STUDENT DEMONSTRATES THAT HE/SHE IS ABLE TO CORRECTLY EXPOSE AND DISCUSS IN DEPTH THE KEY CONCEPTS OF CHILDREN'S LITERATURE, CREATIVE READING STRATEGIES AND TECHNIQUES FOR PROMOTING LISTENING AND ACTIVE PARTICIPATION AMONG CHILDREN. EXCELLENCE IS ACHIEVED BY DEMONSTRATING AN INTEGRATED AND ADVANCED UNDERSTANDING OF THE TOPICS COVERED.
FOR THE STUDENTS, ACTIVE PARTICIPATION, THE CREATION OF PRODUCTS RELATED TO THE VARIOUS TEACHING ACTIVITIES (LECTURES, WORKSHOPS, EXERCISES, SEMINARS) AND THE GROUP RETURN/SHARING IN THE CLASSROOM CONSTITUTES A FUNDAMENTAL LEARNING RESULT, SUBJECT TO EVALUATION.
THE FINAL EVALUATION OF THE COURSE WILL TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE FOLLOWING DIMENSIONS, EACH CONTRIBUTING SPECIFICALLY TO THE OVERALL EVALUATION: ACTIVE PARTICIPATION, CREATION AND DELIVERY OF QUALITY, ORIGINAL AND RELEVANT PRODUCTS, RETURN AND SHARING IN THE CLASSROOM, ORAL EXAM. THE ORAL EXAM WILL FOCUS ON THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE COURSE CONTENTS, THE ABILITY TO INTEGRATE THEORY AND PRACTICE AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF CRITICAL THINKING ON THE TOPICS COVERED.
