In order to ensure the effective integration of scientific theory and practical experience, the content of the indirect placement is linked to the modules of the Study Plan.
The first-year placement requires the student trainee to
- identify and make explicit personal and professional goals through narrative techniques of analysis and self-assessment of motivation
- define an initial representation of the training systems with a view to comparison and continuity including
a) the actors and the system
b) the teaching profession
- fits into the context by observing its aspects:
a) regulatory, physical, organisational
b) communicative-relational and didactic-methodological
c) of inclusion and the individualisation and personalisation of learning paths
- supports the classroom tutor in everyday life and during teaching activities.
The traineeship pathway will be articulated as follows:
1) Direct placement in situ, to be carried out in both pre-school and primary schools and, where possible, by at least two students in co-presence. The observation part, to be carried out directly in institutions, will be conducted by two students/small group in co-presence. This methodology allows an observation from different points of view that will subsequently be shared, analysed, integrated and interpreted in a negotiated manner. Students will be accompanied in the learning process by tutors appointed within the institutions.
2) Indirect placement to support the experience, planned before, during and after the direct placement
Preparation for the placement
- safety training essential for access to the host institutions
- presentation of the legal aspects, rights and duties of the trainee (reference legislation and training project)
- narration of personal and educational biography: training, interests and motivations for the profession, non-formal and informal experiences, other...
- first representation of one's personal professional development plan (‘me and my image as a teacher’)
- analysis of observation materials and tools to be used also in pairs or small groups
- sharing of the student's e-portfolio/portfolio structure
Monitoring during the direct placement:
- sharing, discussion and first reading of the experiences, observations made and materials collected by the students
- selection of focuses for further study
- first structuring/organising the e-portfolio
Reflection at the end of the placement
- reflection on the evidence collected and their connection with the categories of
a) knowing (what I knew/know)
b) doing (what I observed/experienced)
c) being (how I feel about aspects of the profession)
- self-evaluation with respect to the path taken towards personal and professional development
