Prerequisites for admission
No prior knowledge is required; however, students on a part-time basis are invited to include the laboratory in bibliographical research and the Excel laboratory before or concurrently with the 1° year progect work, and the pedagogical laboratory before or concurrently with the 2° year project work.
Teaching methods
The internship is annual and it includes a part of preparatory, group-based activities and an individual learning experience.
The individual learning experience consists of planning, realizing and presenting a project work in one of the three specific areas of the master's degree: research, training/teaching and professional management and must be related to the Rehabilitation Class topics.
The learning experience takes place at the teaching headquarters of the master's degree, under the guidance of Lecturers and Teachers of the University of Milan. They play the role of Tutors and support students' planning and construction of their project work in the fields of research, organization and teaching. Convention venues include public and private health facilities, IRCCS, university courses' educational locations, and prestigious research institutes such as the CNR and the Polytechnic University of Milan.
The preparatory activity, addressed to groups of students, is led by teachers or tutors; it aims to make the students acquire theoretical knowledge and skills that are propedeutic to plan, realize and present their project work.
Teaching Resources
The bibliography is specific to each project submitted and identified under the tutoring of the tutor.
Assessment methods and Criteria
The achievement of learning outcomes is assessed through an oral presentation related to the activity carried out in the project work, as synthesized in the final traineeship report, which a PowerPoint presentation could accompany. The exams take place during specific sessions.
The final mark is expressed on a scale from 18/30 to 30/30 cum laude. It will take into account the methodology applied by the student, the consistency of contents with the aims and purposes previously defined in the project work as a training contract, as well as the congruence with the objectives defined in the Regulation of the master's degree programme.
Students evaluate the perceived quality of the experiential learning through a questionnaire created ad hoc by the master's degree programme.
Student's learning is evaluated by the student himself/herself, through a self-assessment process, and by the Tutor, considering the learning objectives of the traineeship and the project's expected results.
