Interventi per la rimozione delle cause del ritardo nel percorso universitario e per la promozione delle competenze logico-dialogiche degli studenti

Abstract

Interventions for the removal of the causes of delay in university curriculum and the promotion of students’ logic-dialogical skills. In order to help the students of the course of degree in Sciences of the Primary Formation who are late in their university studies two types of intervention have been carried out: the testing of a counseling and a Philosophy for Chidren-based training activity. The counseling has aimed to encourage the comparison between the resources possessed by the students and the opportunities offered by the educational context in order to focus on possible interventions and support in-depth. Overall assessment of the counseling is good, as most of the students involved graduated within two academic years. The Philosophy for Children-based training experience was carried out with two groups of students, some of which late in their academic career, in order to promote logical and dialogical skills, enhance the quality of their study and facilitate the achievement of positive results. Based on students’ self-assessments and comments recorded in the logbook, the evaluation of the whole work is very positive.
