Degree Course: Communication Studies
A.Y. 2023/2024
Conoscenza e capacità di comprensione
Il corso di studio mira alla formazione di laureati in possesso:
-delle conoscenze e delle capacità di comprensione dei fenomeni e delle attività caratteristiche dei
diversi settori della comunicazione, relative ai compiti professionali nei media, nella pubblica
amministrazione, negli organismi della comunicazione internazionale e interculturale, nei diversi
apparati dell'industria culturale e nel settore aziendale, dei servizi e dei consumi;
-delle competenze di base relative alla comunicazione e all'informazione, incluse quelle relative alle
nuove tecnologie e alle forme editoriali on line, nonché della capacità di applicare le relative
conoscenze nello svolgimento di attività di comunicazione e di relazione con il pubblico in aziende
private, negli enti pubblici e nel no-profit;
-delle abilità necessarie per svolgere attività redazionali nei diversi settori dei media e negli enti
pubblici e privati;
-della capacità di utilizzare, in forma scritta e orale, la lingua inglese, oltre ad avvalersi in modo
efficace della lingua italiana in relazione alla comunicazione di informazioni, idee, problemi e soluzioni;
-delle abilità di base necessarie alla produzione di testi informativi e comunicativi per i diversi settori
produttivi e ambiti culturali ed editoriali.
Tali capacità di applicazione delle conoscenze apprese saranno acquisite principalmente attraverso attività di laboratorio (scrittura, media, progettazione telematica, analisi e comunicazione dei dati, informatica) in relazione a obiettivi specifici e mediante attività esterne quali tirocini formativi presso imprese e soggiorni in università di altri paesi europei, nel quadro di accordi nazionali e internazionali.
I risultati attesi saranno verificati sia mediante le prove di esame e di laboratorio, sia nei momenti di discussione in aula e di confronto tra gli studenti che si creeranno in occasione della presentazione di tesine in itinere e grazie alla formazione di gruppi di lavoro.
Capacità di applicare conoscenza e comprensione
Al momento del conseguimento della laurea in Scienze della comunicazione lo studente avrà imparato ad applicare le conoscenze teoriche e metodologiche acquisite all'analisi e alla risoluzione di problemi e a casi concreti.
In particolare, lo studente dovrà essere capace di selezionare le pratiche e le metodologie di ricerca più efficaci nell'analizzare e approfondire specifici temi di indagine e/o domande di ricerca, con riferimento alle più recenti tendenze nei diversi settori delle scienze della comunicazione.
Tali competenze saranno sviluppate mediante diverse modalità didattiche: lezioni frontali, seminari, laboratori, discussioni di gruppo, stesura di elaborati.
La verifica delle competenze acquisite sarà effettuata mediante prove d'esame scritte e/o orali.
Autonomia di giudizio
A conclusione del curriculum i laureati avranno la capacità di interpretare criticamente testi scritti e interazioni orali, provenienti dalla stampa, dalla radio, dalla televisione e dalla pubblicità, nonché di formulare giudizi autonomi sui processi sociali, economici, giuridici e politici ad essi sottesi e sui loro effetti nella formazione dell'opinione pubblica.
L’autonomia di giudizio sarà promossa dall’acquisizione di conoscenze analitiche, in ambito linguistico-comunicativo, cognitivo e delle scienze sociali, e sviluppata grazie a pratiche di laboratorio.
I risultati attesi saranno verificati anzitutto mediante le verifiche rappresentate dalle prove di esame e di laboratorio; sono inoltre previsti momenti di discussione in aula e di confronto tra gli studenti, sia in occasione della presentazione di tesine in itinere sia mediante la formazione di gruppi di lavoro.
Abilità comunicative
A conclusione del curriculum i laureati avranno percorso attraverso lo studio teorico ( discipline semiotiche e linguistiche) e l'analisi storico-sociale e giuridico dei media ( discipline sociali e mediologiche), il panorama dei processi di comunicazione dal piano interpersonale a quello sociale politico e di impresa istituzionale e in virtù delle esercitazioni pratiche cui avranno atteso possiederanno capacità di comunicare con chiarezza contenuti relativi a specifici ambiti, anche con l'uso delle nuove tecnologie e delle forme editoriali on line.
Saranno in grado di utilizzare, in forma scritta e orale, la lingua inglese e possiederanno competenze atte ad un uso efficace della lingua italiana in relazione alla comunicazione di informazioni, idee, problemi e soluzioni.
Possiederanno infine abilità
tecnico-pratiche necessarie alla produzione di testi informativi, comunicativi e argomentativi.
Tali abilità saranno raggiunte attraverso la riflessione approfondita e continua sulle varie tematiche di cui fanno esperienza durante le lezioni, attraverso seminari, discussioni di gruppo.
L'acquisizione di tali competenze sarà verificata attraverso verifiche scritte e orali all'interno dei singoli insegnamenti e nell'ambito della discussione della prova finale.
Capacità di apprendimento
A conclusione del curriculum i laureati avranno sviluppato capacità di apprendimento necessarie al proseguimento degli studi integrati nelle lauree magistrali che preparano professionalità nelle quali la comunicazione è, rispettivamente, oggetto di ricerca sistematica nell’ambito delle scienze cognitive oppure assume un ruolo decisivo di pratica operativa (dal giornalismo ai sistemi editoriali, dalla comunicazione pubblica e d'impresa alla pubblicità, dalla teoria della comunicazione alle aree critiche della società dell'informazione).
Più specificamente, lo studente deve mettere a punto capacità di comprensione della letteratura di ricerca scientifica e tecnologica che si tradurranno: 1) in seno alla laurea magistrale in Scienze cognitive della comunicazione e dell’azione, in specifiche capacità laboratoriali; 2) nell’ambito della laurea magistrale in Informazione, editoria e giornalismo, nella capacità di applicare una metodologia di ricerca adeguata al fine di analizzare criticamente le modalità comunicative nei settori pubblicitari (pubblici e privati), indagare i contesti sociali della comunicazione, utilizzare metodi di ergonomia cognitiva nella produzione di comunicazioni su piattaforme multimediali.
Al fine di garantire e monitorare, nell’arco del percorso di studi, l’avvenuta acquisizione delle suddette capacità, i moduli impartiti prevedono, accanto alla lezione frontale e alla classica prova di esame conclusiva (scritta/orale, prova pratica), momenti di discussione in aula e di confronto tra gli studenti resi possibili dalla formazione di gruppi di lavoro e la conseguente presentazione di tesine in itinere.
Per quanto riguarda invece l’acquisizione della capacità di applicare le conoscenze apprese, essa sarà garantita e monitorata attraverso attività di laboratorio (scrittura, media, progettazione telematica, analisi e comunicazione dei dati, informatica) in relazione a obiettivi specifici e mediante attività esterne quali tirocini formativi presso imprese e soggiorni in università di altri paesi europei, nel quadro di accordi nazionali e internazionali.

Orientamento in ingresso
Le attività di orientamento, tirocinio, stage e placement, a livello di Ateneo, sono promosse e coordinate dal Gruppo di Lavoro per l'Orientamento di Ateneo (GLOA).
Il GLOA promuove azioni relative all'orientamento in ingresso, all'orientamento in itinere (tutorato, tirocini e stage) e all'orientamento in uscita (politiche attive per il lavoro e placement) la cui organizzazione e realizzazione è affidata, rispettivamente, all'Ufficio orientamento, all'Ufficio stage e tirocini e all'Ufficio job placement.
Orientamento in ingresso
Le azioni di orientamento in ingresso sono improntate alla realizzazione di processi di raccordo con la scuola media secondaria.
Si concretizzano in attività di carattere informativo sui Corsi di Studio (CdS) dell'Ateneo ma anche come impegno condiviso da scuola e università per favorire lo sviluppo di una maggiore consapevolezza da parte degli studenti nel compiere scelte coerenti con le proprie conoscenze, competenze, attitudini e interessi.
Le attività promosse si articolano in:
a) autorientamento;
b) incontri e manifestazioni informative rivolte alle future matricole;
c) sviluppo di servizi online e pubblicazione di guide sull'offerta formativa dei CdS.
Tra le attività svolte in collaborazione con le scuole per lo sviluppo di una maggiore consapevolezza nella scelta, il progetto di autorientamento è un intervento che consente di promuovere un raccordo particolarmente qualificato con alcune scuole medie superiori.
Il progetto, infatti, è articolato in incontri svolti presso le scuole ed è finalizzato a sollecitare nelle future matricole una riflessione sui propri punti di forza e sui criteri di scelta.
La presentazione dell'offerta formativa agli studenti delle scuole superiori prevede tre eventi principali distribuiti nel corso dell'anno accademico ai quali partecipano tutti i CdS.
• Salone dello studente, si svolge presso la fiera di Roma fra ottobre e novembre e coinvolge tradizionalmente tutti gli Atenei del Lazio e molti Atenei fuori Regione, Enti pubblici e privati che si occupano di Formazione e Lavoro.
Roma Tre partecipa a questo evento con un proprio spazio espositivo, con conferenze di presentazione dell'offerta formativa dell'Ateneo e promuove i propri Dipartimenti scientifici grazie all'iniziativa Roma 1,2,3 … Scienze;
• Giornate di Vita Universitaria (GVU), si svolgono ogni anno da dicembre a marzo e sono rivolte agli studenti degli ultimi due anni della scuola secondaria superiore.
Si svolgono in tutti i Dipartimenti dell'Ateneo e costituiscono un'importante occasione per le future matricole per vivere la realtà universitaria.
Gli incontri sono strutturati in modo tale che accanto alla presentazione dei Corsi di Laurea, gli studenti possano anche fare un'esperienza diretta di vita universitaria con la partecipazione ad attività didattiche, laboratori, lezioni o seminari, alle quali partecipano anche studenti seniores che svolgono una significativa mediazione di tipo tutoriale.
Partecipano annualmente circa 5.000 studenti;
• Orientarsi a Roma Tre, rappresenta la manifestazione che chiude le annuali attività di orientamento in ingresso e si svolge in Ateneo a luglio di ogni anno.
L'evento accoglie, perlopiù, studenti romani che partecipano per mettere definitivamente a fuoco la loro scelta universitaria.
Durante la manifestazione viene presentata l'offerta formativa e sono presenti, con un proprio spazio, tutti i principali servizi di Roma Tre, le segreterie didattiche e la segreteria studenti.
I servizi online messi a disposizione dei futuri studenti universitari nel tempo sono aumentati tenendo conto dello sviluppo delle nuove opportunità di comunicazione tramite web.
Inoltre, durante tutte le manifestazioni di presentazione dell'offerta formativa, sono illustrati quei servizi online (siti web di Dipartimento, di Ateneo, Portale dello studente etc.) che possono aiutare gli studenti nella loro scelta.
Altre attività di orientamento sono svolte parallelamente durante l'anno dalla Segreteria Didattica del Corso di Studio.
Il Corso di Laurea organizza degli incontri di accoglienza per le matricole, nel mese di ottobre.
Il Dipartimento di Filosofia Comunicazione e Spettacolo è presente nelle scuole del territorio con i progetti dell'alternanza scuola-lavoro.
Il Corso di Studio in breve
Il corso di laurea in Scienze della comunicazione propone un percorso formativo volto a fornire agli studenti le competenze di base necessarie per esercitare tutte le professioni in cui la comunicazione svolge un ruolo primario (dal giornalismo ai sistemi editoriali, dalla comunicazione pubblica alla pubblicità), e ciò nel quadro di una conoscenza critica dell'interazione fra i processi di comunicazione e i fenomeni psicologici, politici, giuridici ed economici che caratterizzano la società contemporanea.
A tal fine, il corso di studio è strutturato in un unico curriculum che vuole consentire allo studente di acquisire: (1) le conoscenze linguistico-semiotiche, bio-psicologiche, logico-informatiche, socio-economiche, storico-politiche e filosofiche necessarie per indagare scientificamente le varie forme di comunicazione; (2) gli strumenti informatici che oggi di queste forme di comunicazione sono il veicolo primario; (3) i metodi propri della ricerca sui media e sulle dinamiche di fruizione e consumo; (4) le competenze critiche necessarie per l'analisi dei contesti storici, politici, economici, sociali e giuridici dei processi comunicativi.
Queste conoscenze sono integrate da attività di laboratorio (scrittura, media, progettazione telematica, analisi e comunicazione dei dati, informatica) in relazione a obiettivi specifici e attività esterne, quali tirocini formativi presso imprese, nonché soggiorni in università di altri paesi europei nel quadro di accordi nazionali e internazionali.
Il corso ha durata triennale ed è articolato in n.
180 CFU.
L'accesso al corso è disciplinato da un test d'accesso.
Lo studente espliciterà le proprie scelte al momento della presentazione,
tramite il sistema informativo di ateneo, del piano di completamento o del piano di studio individuale,
secondo quanto stabilito dal regolamento didattico del corso di studio.

LITERATURE AND VISUAL ARTS
(objectives)
L-FIL-LET/14 LITERATURE AND VISUAL ARTS (12 credits, Bachelor's Degree) The module aims to analyze the functions and the pertinence of literary writing, considered in the span of relationships that binds it to the most meaningful visual languages of the twentieth century and the first years of the new millennium: such as, above all, cinema and entire system of the figurative arts. These relationships will be established from time to time with respect to a range of social and anthropological themes considered to be of greater importance today, so as to contribute to an intellectual formation capable of being critically oriented in the complexity of our present. Above all, following a path of this type, the continuous intersection that is established today between expressive languages of different origin and function will be privileged, so that the student, at the end of the course, will be able to independently recognize the intermediate intertwining proposed continuously from the current communication system. To this end, specific previous knowledge is not required.

LABORATORY OF SELF-CONTROL AND EMOTIONAL REGULATION. THEORIES AND PRACTICES.
(objectives)
What is self-control and what is emotion regulation? How do they work; what psychological and brain mechanisms do they depend on? Why is voluntary control of psychological processes, such as staying focused, resisting distractions, managing a negative emotion, inhibiting rumination or stopping the mind from wandering, so difficult? And why does voluntary control of actions often fail? That is, for what reasons do we relapse into habits we no longer want to have, into various forms of addiction, or frequently fail to contain an inappropriate impulse or the expression of a potentially harmful emotion? Are there techniques or exercises capable to improve self-control and emotion regulation? What psychological and brain mechanisms are they based on? How are they performed and what evidence of effectiveness exists in the scientific literature? The Workshop on Self-Control and Emotional Regulation. Theories and Practices, aims to provide participants with knowledge of the main theoretical elements and models of explanations of the processes of self-control and emotion regulation, between neuroscience, psychosocial science and philosophy. At the same time, the Lab aims to teach exercises and techniques useful for improving self-regulatory capacity, including several Mindfulness based practices, illustrating its scientific basis and experimental verification of effectiveness. At the end of the Workshop, the student should know and understand the main explanatory models of self-control and emotion regulation and will have a basic mastery of the principal and scientifically validated techniques, exercises and trainings for cognitive enhancement, self-control and emotional regulation. If the number of participants will be sufficient, the Workshop may involve conducting an experimental study designed for measuring the impact of training on some basic variables of self-control, mood, impulsivity, and perceived stress level.

CRITICAL THINKING
(objectives)
This course aims at (1) developing and training the ability to recognize and evaluate arguments and a variety of forms of reasoning, and to tell apart good arguments from bad arguments, according to the definitions provided through the course; (2) developing the capability of solving reasoning problems that refer to the many different forms of reasoning that we discuss in the course; (3) securing a suitable understanding of basics aspect of propositional logic and quantified logic, and of basics of probability calculus, inductive and abductive reasoning; (4) securing an understanding of the function reasoning plays in rational discussion and the exchange of theses.
Objectives (1) – (4) are crucial since today, mainly due to the presence of social networks, our social interaction comes with an exchange of opinions that is increasingly more frequent and our connections with other agents are wider and wider. It has been acknowledged that the speed and frequency of these exchanges goes along with diminished reasoning skills, and this jeopardizes the understanding of problems of public interest on which our opinion is solicited.
