Course Objectives
The course aims to provide students with a basic knowledge of the sources, general principles and the most important legal institutes and rules of administrative law, with particular reference to the childhood education legal system. At the end of the course, students will be able to understand the administrative procedures, the fundamental rules of both the administrative action and organization, and the legal tools to support educational action. The teaching aims to foster the acquisition of knowledge and the development of skills that will enable the future social and educational educator to promote the construction of social support networks for parenting and to promote the integration of educational, health and social services.
Course Prerequisites
Students are invited to verify the information related to their studies programme
Teaching Methods
The teaching will comprise both lectures devoted to learning the concepts, institutes, principles and rules of health law, and practical lessons (with analysis of specific cases and case law) during which students will be stimulated in the development of disciplinary and interpersonal skills, independent judgment, communication skills, and learning ability. Reflective analysis, case studies, problem posing/solving situations will be used for this purpose.
Assessment Methods
For all students, attending and non-attending, the assessment of learning will be carried out, for each available exam, through a written test on the topics of the general part (Part 1) and on the same day, an oral test confirming the written grade on the general part and on the Part 2 (knowledge of the childhood education legal system).
The written test consists of 30 multiple choice questions.
The scoring of the written test observes the following criteria: 1 point is attributed to correct answers, while missing or incorrect answers are assigned zero points, without any point deduction.
The results of the written test are available at the end of the test, with indication of the score obtained on the screen. Sufficiency (18/30) is reached with 18 correct answers out of 30.
The inadequacy of the written test does not preclude the possibility of taking the oral test,immediately afterwards, in the same session (in this case the student will be heard on the entire program).

More information
Students, both attending and non-attending, must rely on the program of the academic year in which they intend to take the exam (regardless of the academic year of enrollment or course attendance).
It is advisable to refer to the latest edition of the texts (to be checked on the publisher's website).
It is also recommended to view the bulletin board for additional information about the course and the moodle platform. Consultation of this platform is essential as it allows one to be informed of any changes in the discipline (the law, in fact, is subject to constant change). In case regulatory and jurisprudential developments make it necessary, any supplementary readings designed to update the contents of the Handbook will be indicated to students during the course (and appropriately marked on the platform).
Should the course be taught in a dual or remote learning mode, changes may be made to the syllabus with a view to granting the conduct of the course and examinations.
