Orientamento in ingresso
Durante l'emergenza sanitaria COVID-19, le attività di orientamento saranno svolte in modalità telematica.
Le azioni di orientamento in ingresso sono improntate alla realizzazione di processi di raccordo con la scuola media secondaria.
Si concretizzano sia in attività informative e di approfondimento dei caratteri formativi dei Corsi di Studio (CdS) dell’Ateneo, sia in un 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) incontri e manifestazioni rivolte alle future matricole;
b) sviluppo di servizi online e pubblicazione di guide sull’offerta formativa dei CdS.
L’attività di orientamento in ingresso prevede quattro principali attività, distribuite nel corso dell’anno accademico, alle quali partecipano tutti i Dipartimenti e i CdS:
• Giornate di Vita Universitaria (GVU), si svolgono ogni anno nell’arco di circa 4 mesi 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 4.000 studenti; nel 2021 si sono svolte in modalità telematica;
• Autorientamento, un progetto di orientamento formativo destinato agli studenti delle IV classi e che si svolge ogni anno nell’arco di 5 mesi.
Si sviluppa in collaborazione diretta con alcune scuole medie superiori per lo sviluppo di una maggiore consapevolezza nella scelta da parte degli studenti.
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.
Aspetto caratterizzante il progetto, inoltre, è la presenza degli studenti senior dei nostri Corsi di Laurea che attraverso la propria esperienza formativa possono offrire un punto di vista attuale rispetto all’organizzazione e al funzionamento del mondo accademico.
Nell’anno scolastico 2020-2021 la realizzazione del progetto in modalità online ha dato la possibilità a 20 scuole – dislocate sul territorio romano e laziale – di partecipare;
• Attività di orientamento sviluppate dai singoli Dipartimenti, mediante incontri in presenza e servizi online;
• Orientarsi a Roma Tre nel 2020 si è svolta in modalità telematica ed è stato realizzato un portale per l’orientamento molto accattivante: orientamento.uniroma3.it.
Rappresenta la manifestazione che riassume le annuali attività di orientamento in ingresso e si svolge ogni anno alla fine dell’anno accademico.
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 di orientamento online messi a disposizione dei futuri studenti universitari sono nel tempo 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 siti web di Dipartimento, di Ateneo, Portale dello studente, etc., che possono aiutare gli studenti nella loro scelta.
Infine, l’Ateneo valuta, di volta in volta, l’opportunità di partecipare ad ulteriori occasioni di orientamento in presenza ovvero online (Salone dello studente ed altre iniziative).
Il Corso di Laurea in Filosofia attribuisce una particolare importanza a tutte le attività svolte a fornire informazioni necessarie per orientare gli studenti nella scelta del corso di studio in linea con le politiche dell'Ateneo.
Partecipa a tutte le principali iniziative dell'Ateneo dedicate all'orientamento: il Salone dello studente, la Giornata di Vita Universitaria e la giornata 'Orientarsi a Roma tre'.
Organizza inoltre iniziative di divulgazione e comunicazione filosofica rivolte sia alle scuole (studenti ed insegnanti) sia a tutti i cittadini.
Particolare rilievo assumono le seguenti attività:
- Piccoli Classici Filosofici del '900.
Il progetto in collaborazione con la Società Filosofica Romana prevede tre incontri di 4 ore ciascuno dedicati alla breve lettura di brevi testi filosofici contemporanei.
L'iniziativa è rivolta agli insegnanti e agli studenti dell'ultimo anno delle scuole secondarie di II grado.
https://www.sfi.it/282n622/piccoli-classici-filosofici-del-novecento.html
- Le parole di Sofia.
Il progetto in collaborazione con la Società Filosofica Romana prevede due giornate di presentazione di tematiche filosofiche e di illustrazione del Corso di laurea indirizzate agli studenti dell'ultimo anno delle scuole secondarie di II grado.
- Scuola estiva di Filosofia di Montecompatri.
Il Progetto in collaborazione con la Società Filosofica Romana mette a disposizione 40 posti per studenti, laureati, dottorandi e docenti di scuola media per partecipare a due giorni di seminari sulla Filosofia.
Per ciascun Corso di laurea sono predisposte Guide Informative e opuscoli che vengono distribuiti in occasione degli eventi dedicati all'Orientamento e in fase di iscrizione ai corsi stessi.
Il sito del Dipartimento fornisce una pagina dettagliata con le informazioni per le matricole, uno sportello virtuale di supporto per tutti i nuovi iscritti e per la compilazione del piano di studi.

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.

LABORATORY OF SELF-CONTROL AND EMOTION 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.
