Università Roma Tre

The course of Orientation Education in a European perspective (12 CFU) includes a basic module (6 CFU), a Seminar (3 CFU) and a Laboratory (3 CFU)

Basic module program (6CFU)
Orientation understood in the double meaning of the subject's ability to "orientate himself" in the construction of his own life plan and actions aimed at promoting full awareness of his choices, is characterized as a continuous training process.
The course "Didactics of guidance in a European perspective", starting from an analysis of the models that have characterized the evolution of guidance practices in the last century, deepens the characteristics of the "training orientation" model, highlighting its connections with a modular and flexible organization of teaching with particular reference to the theme of developing strategic skills. It also analyzes the “life design” model as the current paradigm for the construction of professional life. Finally, through a comparative analysis, it deals with the study of guidance activities and services in some countries of the European Union.

The seminar is based on the analysis of the volume by Zimbardo P. Boyd J., Il paradosso del tempo, Milan, Oscar Mondadori, 2009 (the text is not easily available in bookstores, therefore extracts will be provided during the lessons and on the online platform)
