Lectures, presentation and critical discussion of cases, guided exercises and group work
The course starts illustrating the features that takes social planning in a complex society, the epistemological and methodological difficulties highlighting social engineering and taking account of the difficulties of defining the profession of social designer. Abandoned the role of neutral technician, thanks to community planning he/she can find answers to the impracticability of the synoptic model of rationality, redefining the role of rationality in planning activity and innovating the role of social designer and their own work tools. Assayed reference, theoretical models of causality and generative mechanisms as opposed to linear ones, the course covers the basic principles of project management, placing them in particular in the current evolution of the welfare state. Specific attention is paid to the “co-design”, which has been spreading as typical way in education and social work.
We then move on to analyzing the basic principles of policy evaluation, distinguishing it from monitoring and highlighting its purpose and use. You will learn the major theoretic framework and operational procedures deriving from European policies.
Through group work, the aim of the course is to enable students to work in the field of design and evaluation of social and educational policies.
