The materials presented during lectures or in the Lab will be made available to students on the "formonline" platform, therefore no copy shop is authorized to sell them, and no site - outside the official channels of the University - is authorized to their dissemination.

The Laboratory is structured in didactic units integrated by laboratory-type activities (conceived at ISTISSS) to favor the connection between theory and practice, relating to first experiments that observe the practice of social work, summarized in the logical equation "need, demand, intervention, services, welfare system ".

Mark Hughes, Michael Wearing, 2016, Organisations and Management in Social Work. Everyday Action for Change, SAGE, Thousand Oaks, CA, USA.

The first part of the course will introduce the fundamental concepts of social phenomena and problems central to the emergence and transformation of the welfare system and social service in an international perspective. Specifically, elements and aspects of social work will be presented in relation to the evolutionary dimension of the professionalisation of philanthropy.
In the second part of the course further basic elements of the professional action of the social work in Italy will be addressed: area of knowledge and intervention, objectives and functions, elements of professional methodology, research tradition and elaboration of the systematic body of disciplinary theoretical knowledge.
The third part will complete the programme by dealing with the value base of social work - inspirational values, operational principles and professional attitudes - and the ethical-deontological base, read in relation to the contents of the Code of Ethics for Social Workers.

The course is structured as to allow the implementation of the students’ linguistic competences, requiring on the side of the student to develop a professional-oriented awareness of the L2 learning and practicing modalities, as well as some cultural analysis skills.
The reading of different types of texts – intended to show students both the pedagogic models of the English culture and the specific jargon of their field of interest (HR and Social Sciences) – will allow the student to enrich his/her lexical and grammar-syntactical competences through constant exercise (pre-reading and post-reading activities, reading and listening comprehension), stimulating the students’ reflection and discussion on general-interest themes and providing useful topics for class-work both at written and oral level. The constant use of English in the classroom will be encouraged, also by the use of multimedia materials; students will be fostered to noticing the differences and similarities between L2 and L1 also by providing and analyzing different translations of the texts proposed.
- Linguistic aspects will be focused on as well; grammar texts with answer-keys and monolingual and bilingual dictionaries are suggested in bibliography. Online language exercises links will be suggested too.
*N.B.: Students belonging to DISSAIFE and SERSS previous courses MUST stick to this program; they will also follow the exam modalities prescribed for this year. Those who need to obtain 4, 5 or 10 CFU must contact the teacher to agree on their specific exam modalities.

procedure, techniques and tools).
Teaching methodology and learning checks
The course includes some lectures aimed at the theoretical presentation of the contents and the use of the active methodology in experiential exercises on the theoretical and methodological contents, to develop reflective skills and tools for the conceptualization of the experience. Also, during the lessons, intermediate learning assessment are foreseen, through exercises, classroom discussions and eventual written assignments that may be included during formulation of the final evaluation.

Training goals
First trainee-ship is the first field experience for the students, in the services in which social workers apply themselves. In this path, students have a double support, from both an external social worker and an academic tutor.
Specific training goals will be:
- let the student thinks on her/his own motivations and expectations on her/his university choices and on her/his professional future;
- let grow the student's capacity to reflect on the relations dynamics, with other social operators, users, and with all the others relations that she/he could start during the progress of the social service where she/he is inserted. Then share her/his worries, doubts, and expectations on her/his experience;
- consolidate the capacity of the student to work in team and to learn through the group exercitations;
- promote the connection between theory and practice and stimulate in the students an exploratory approach with curiosity and interest in the profession and in the social ambit;
- encourage the comparison, the sharing and the discussions of situations and events in common verified during the practical experience of the students.

Course program
During the talks and the lectures, the operative reality and the territorial distribution of the services who gave the availability to host trainees, will be showed to the students; lectures on specific aspects of trainee-ship will be made, to promote the pursue of training goals.

The course is structured as to allow the implementation of the students’ linguistic competences, requiring on the side of the student to develop a professional-oriented awareness of the L2 learning and practicing modalities, as well as some cultural analysis skills.
The reading of different types of texts – intended to show students both the pedagogic models of the English culture and the specific jargon of their field of interest (HR and Social Sciences) – will allow the student to enrich his/her lexical and grammar-syntactical competences through constant exercise (pre-reading and post-reading activities, reading and listening comprehension), stimulating the students’ reflection and discussion on general-interest themes and providing useful topics for class-work both at written and oral level. The constant use of English in the classroom will be encouraged, also by the use of multimedia materials; students will be fostered to noticing the differences and similarities between L2 and L1 also by providing and analyzing different translations of the texts proposed.
- Linguistic aspects will be focused on as well; grammar texts with answer-keys and monolingual and bilingual dictionaries are suggested in bibliography. Online language exercises links will be suggested too.
*N.B.: Students belonging to DISSAIFE and SERSS previous courses MUST stick to this program; they will also follow the exam modalities prescribed for this year. Those who need to obtain 4, 5 or 10 CFU must contact the teacher to agree on their specific exam modalities.

TEACHING PROGRAM: The goal of training is to enable students to become aware of the diversity of the contributions produced by contemporary sociology, both on the micro-sociological side and the macro-sociological one, and therefore by considering two main aspects: the social interaction on the one hand, the social change on the other. For this reason, the course program aims at offering an overview of contemporary international sociological theory and will focus mainly on contributions from the second half of the Twentieth Century and the beginning of the Twenty-First Century (for example, Garfinkel, Goffman, Sacks, Foucault etc.), but not only on that: actually, even if we will start from the Fifties of the last century, in rare cases we will mention some previous reference points (authors; for example, Mead).
