Università Roma Tre

The Master's Degree Course in Primary Education Sciences provides, in the second year of the course, compulsory activities of indirect training. The internship activities take place for a total of 75 hours (3 CFU) and include 24 hours of activities in the presence, 6 hours of distance activities, completed by proposals for self-study in progress and conclusive. The course, which is divided into two semesters, promotes the convergence between knowing, knowing how to do and knowing how to think which are the real dimensions of the professional competence of the teacher.
The training objectives refer to work centred on the growing self-reflexive competence of future teachers, which must move in a twofold direction: external vs internal, through work on the extrinsic representations of the figure of the role and functions of the teacher (Bocci, 2012); internal vs external, through a critical focus on the intrinsic motivations of which the trainee is the bearer.
