TRANSVERSAL SKILLS: It is a study that regards the creative and reflexive space of each person, which seeks the objective of building a highly specialized expertise in relational and emotional capabilities that the narrative, applied with pedagogical sensitivity, can and must activate. For this purpose, we will not forget to provide lexical coordinates and the discipline’s epistemological framework, for critically orientating in a theoretical-practical sense inside the horizon of the themes faced.
KNOWLEDGE: The theories are based on the principles of Pedagogy Narrative. To this end, we will propose the analysis and the application of a specific series of principles, strategies, techniques, and educational intervention’s praxis.
1. Narrative pedagogy in comparison with children’s literature;
2. Children’s imaginary and narrative logic.
The course aims to build - along with the students - a highly specialized expertise, about the capability of educational intervention;
