Università Roma Tre

Programme of the Basic Module
The course provides tools for a pedagogical analysis of the work dimension from a socio-economic and educational point of view. Particular attention will be given to educational issues (employability, placement, apprenticeship, work-based learning, industry4.0) and to the relationship between learning and knowledge, laying emphasis on the construct of communities of practice in professional contexts and the new labor dimensions. The course is divided into three modules of 10 hours each for a total of 30 hours and includes lectures alternating with moments of educational planning and case studies.

Area 1
* Education and Social Work: epistemic contexts and methods of analysis
* Work in its social and organizational development with particular emphasis on the pedagogical dimension also from a historical point of view
* The issue of skills as a tool to describe the job training from a formative point of view
* The theme of alternating school/work at the work-based learning
* Laboratory: alternating school/work at the work-based learning

Area 2

* Training Design Laboratory: “The Capability Approach to Adult Education”
