Conoscenza e capacità di comprensione
Conoscenza e capacita di comprensione
Durante il percorso formativo lo studente consegue conoscenze e capacita di comprensione degli ambienti forestali e naturali, affrontando anche temi di avanguardia.
Con riferimento agli ambiti formativi descritti in precedenza i laureati in SFN attraverso le discipline di base impartite soprattutto nel primo anno:
- acquisiscono le conoscenze di base nell'ambito della matematica fisica e statistica e della chimica, discipline formative e propedeutiche per gli insegnamenti successivi;
- acquisiscono le conoscenze fondamentali ed importanti per la comprensione delle componenti biotiche e abiotiche degli ecosistemi forestali e naturali attraverso lo studio delle discipline dell'ambito biologico, in particolare della botanica, della zoologia, e della geologia.
Soprattutto al secondo e terzo anno, i laureati in SFN acquisiscono nelle diverse aree disciplinari le conoscenze necessarie per il monitoraggio, l'analisi e la comprensione dei processi che avvengono in un ecosistema forestale e per la gestione sostenibile degli ecosistemi forestali.
In particolare:
- acquisiscono le conoscenze relative agli ecosistemi forestali attraverso lo studio delle discipline dell'ambito forestale ed ambientale che riguardano la selvicoltura, l'ecologia forestale, la dendrometria, la dendrologia, utili per la lettura e l'interpretazione degli ecosistemi forestali, per la individuazione di strategie gestionali e per la progettazione di interventi;
- acquisiscono conoscenze relative alla regimazione delle acque, alle costruzioni forestali e alle operazioni topografiche ed alla rappresentazione del territorio e della geomatica attraverso lo studio delle discipline dell' ingegneria agraria forestale e della rappresentazione;
-acquisiscono conoscenze relative ai sistemi di raccolta, utilizzazione e trasformazione dei prodotti forestali;
-acquisiscono conoscenze relative alla gestione economica ed alle metodologie di analisi della redditivita di attivita produttive in ambito forestale nonche alla pratica estimativa nel settore forestale attraverso lo studio di discipline dell'ambito economico, estimativo e giuridico;
- acquisiscono conoscenze relative alla biologia, all'ecologia e al monitoraggio di microrganismi e insetti attraverso lo studio delle discipline dell'ambito della difesa.
Nel terzo anno i laureati in SFN, scegliendo in autonomia i percorsi curriculari, hanno la possibilita di approfondire alcuni argomenti specifici che rispondono ad esigenze di formazione rivolte a tematiche di rilevante importanza e attualita.
Il curriculum Gestione delle aree protette orientato alla conservazione della biodiversita e del capitale naturale, e il curriculum Foreste e cambiamenti climatici focalizzato sulle strategie di adattamento e mitigazione degli effetti dei cambiamenti climatici.
Le conoscenze sono acquisite dagli studenti attraverso modalita didattiche sia di tipo convenzionale, rappresentate dalle lezioni frontali, sia attraverso l'impiego di piattaforme multimediali, sia attraverso attivita di supporto che possono avere carattere maggiormente applicativo, come le esercitazioni (in aula, nei campi didattico-sperimentali, negli ambienti forestali e naturali a seconda dell'insegnamento), o di approfondimento, quali seminari su temi di particolare interesse.
Queste attivita hanno un importante valore formativo perche mettono lo studente in condizione di applicare e verificare in ambiti operativi le conoscenze acquisite o di approfondire argomenti specifici dal carattere innovativo e/o professionalizzante.
La verifica delle conoscenze acquisite dagli studenti avviene all'interno di ciascun insegnamento attraverso le prove di esame.
Le prove di esame possono essere svolte in forma orale o scritta (o in altra forma prevista dal Regolamento Didattico del corso di studi in conformita al Regolamento Didattico di Ateneo), in funzione della tipologia dell'insegnamento.
Le prove di esame sono volte ad accertare:
- il livello delle conoscenze acquisite dallo studente,
- la capacita di comunicare con chiarezza espositiva e linguaggio appropriato le conoscenze acquisite,
- la capacita di sostenere argomentazioni e di formulare valutazioni critiche relativamente agli argomenti affrontati nei diversi insegnamenti,
- la capacita di applicare le conoscenze per la soluzione di problemi applicativi relativi ai diversi ambiti disciplinari.Capacità di applicare conoscenza e comprensione
Capacita di applicare conoscenza e comprensione
Le conoscenze acquisite nei diversi ambiti disciplinari come sopra descritti si traducono nella capacita dei laureati di:
- valutare il funzionamento e il livello di naturalita degli ecosistemi forestali e agropastorali, con approfondimenti sulla produttivita e il ruolo nella conservazione della biodiversita;
- operare con competenza e professionalita nei settori della conservazione del patrimonio forestale e naturale e della gestione sostenibile delle risorse naturali;
- applicare le tecniche e le metodologie per l'analisi del territorio forestale, quale supporto di base per la caratterizzazione dei diversi ambienti, considerando anche il contesto socio-economico di riferimento;
- scegliere e utilizzare macchine, attrezzature, strumenti e metodi di lavoro appropriati, anche dal punto di vista della sicurezza degli operatori; valutarne i costi ed analizzarne gli aspetti economici e di condurre progetti e lavori in ambiente forestale secondo i principi dello sviluppo sostenibile;
- svolgere attivita di monitoraggio e analisi utili per la soluzione dei problemi applicativi propri dei sistemi forestali, ambientali e agrosilvopastorali, incluso il monitoraggio di patogeni ed altri agenti biologici;
- valorizzare le risorse forestali.
La capacita di applicare conoscenza e comprensione viene acquisita attraverso un approccio orientato al problem solving adottato in numerosi insegnamenti che affianca alle consuete forme di didattica frontale, attivita di campo e di laboratorio che mettono lo studente in condizione di applicare e verificare in ambiti operativi le conoscenze acquisite.
La verifica della capacita di applicare conoscenza e comprensione acquisita dagli studenti avviene all'interno di ciascun insegnamento attraverso le prove di esame che possono essere svolte in forma orale o scritta (o in altra forma prevista dal Regolamento Didattico del corso di studi in conformita al Regolamento Didattico di Ateneo), in funzione della tipologia dell'insegnamento.
Per alcuni insegnamenti puo essere prevista la preparazione di un elaborato progettuale individuale che ha lo scopo di portare lo studente ad affrontare problemi concreti e ad applicare le conoscenze acquisite con il fine di fornire specifiche soluzioni professionali nella gestione sostenibile forestale ed ambientale.
Tirocinio e prova finale sono da considerarsi attivita sinergiche e tali da esaltare, nell'insieme del percorso formativo, la capacita di applicare conoscenza e comprensione, autonomia di giudizio e abilita comunicative.Autonomia di giudizio
I laureati in Scienze delle Foreste e della Natura hanno capacita di raccogliere e interpretare in modo autonomo i dati necessari per la gestione delle risorse forestali e naturali.
Al tempo stesso sono preparati per recepire le necessarie considerazioni di ordine sociale, politico o etico con particolare riferimento alla teoria e alla pratica della gestione sostenibile e conservazione delle risorse naturali.
In tal senso durante il corso gli studenti sviluppano la capacita di condurre ricerche bibliografiche su fonti scientifiche, tecniche e normative anche tramite accesso a banche dati elettroniche nonche, la capacita di leggere e valutare progetti o piani del settore forestale e ambientale.
I laureati sono in grado, inoltre, di valutare in modo critico le problematiche connesse a tutti gli aspetti della propria attivita, incluse quelle relative alle responsabilita sociali ed etiche derivanti dal loro operare.
Lo sviluppo di una adeguata autonomia di giudizio da parte dello studente viene favorito attraverso modalita didattiche che richiedono allo studente un impegno personale mediante attivita sia autonome sia di gruppo.
Per gli insegnamenti in cui questo e possibile e prevista la redazione di un elaborato (in forma di tesina o di tipo progettuale) in cui lo studente deve raccogliere ed interpretare i dati necessari, applicando in autonomia le conoscenze acquisite.
Le attivita di esercitazione svolte sia all'interno dei singoli corsi sia in maniera multidisciplinare, rappresentano momenti di confronto tra gli stessi studenti e con i docenti su tematiche di interesse trasversale che concorrono al raggiungimento di una adeguata autonomia di giudizio.
Lo svolgimento di seminari oltre che su argomenti specifici relativi alle singole discipline, ma anche riguardanti tematiche di interesse generale favoriscono il confronto e lo sviluppo di capacita critiche.
La verifica del conseguimento dei risultati attesi avviene in sede di esame dove viene valutato il grado di acquisizione delle competenze, la capacita di applicare le conoscenze e le capacita di analisi critica e di autonomia di giudizio.
Laddove sia prevista la redazione di un elaborato questo diviene oggetto di valutazione da parte del docente e permette di valutare sia le competenze acquisite sulla specifica disciplina sia le capacita di applicazione delle competenze e di analisi critica.
La stesura dell'elaborato finale che prevede attivita di raccolta dati, reperimento fonti bibliografiche, e redazione di un testo in forma autonoma, rappresenta un ulteriore momento di valutazione del grado di autonomia raggiunto dallo studente.Abilità comunicative
I laureati in Scienze delle Foreste e della Natura sono in grado di esprimersi correttamente in italiano scritto e parlato, sanno comunicare informazioni, idee, problemi e soluzioni a interlocutori specialisti e non specialisti e posseggono gli strumenti di base necessari per applicarsi alla divulgazione ambientale.
Sono, inoltre, in grado di comunicare in una lingua dell'Unione Europea diversa dalla propria, di norma l'inglese; sanno impiegare gli strumenti tecnologicamente evoluti di presentazione audiovisiva.
Le modalita di accertamento e valutazione della preparazione dello studente prevedono una prova orale durante la quale sono valutate, oltre alle conoscenze acquisite dallo studente, anche la capacita di comunicarle con chiarezza e rigore.
Le abilita comunicative sono sviluppate anche durante le esercitazioni, il tirocinio, le eventuali esperienze presso universita straniere e durante la prova finale, che e strutturata per verificare anche tale abilita.Capacità di apprendimento
I laureati in Scienze delle Foreste e della Natura sono in possesso delle necessarie basi culturali e conoscono gli approcci metodologici dell'apprendimento necessari sia per l'eventuale proseguimento degli studi nei settori delle scienze forestali, naturali ed ambientali sia per il continuo aggiornamento in campo lavorativo.
Questo obiettivo e raggiunto anche attraverso seminari tematici e altri momenti di incontro, quali esercitazioni ed incontri con tecnici ed esperti del settore.
Gli studenti sviluppano adeguate capacita per l'approfondimento delle competenze anche con riferimento alla consultazione di materiale bibliografico, di banche dati telematiche nonche l'utilizzo di strumenti conoscitivi di base per l'aggiornamento continuo delle conoscenze.
Allo sviluppo delle capacita di apprendimento e al confronto delle proprie abilita potranno sicuramente contribuire le iniziative di mobilita studentesca da tempo attivate presso l'Ateneo e i Dipartimenti DAFNE e DIBAF(p.e.
progetti Erasmus).
La verifica del raggiungimento dell'obiettivo e legata ai risultati di profitto nell'ambito dei singoli corsi e della prova finale.Requisiti di ammissione
Per accedere al corso di studio, occorre essere in possesso di un diploma di scuola secondaria superiore o di altro titolo di studio conseguito all'estero, riconosciuto idoneo secondo la normativa vigente, e conoscenze personali che permettano di affrontare con successo il percorso formativo.
Allo scopo di accertare il livello di preparazione personale e svolto un test di accesso (TdA) che non ha carattere selettivo.
Sono previste modalita differenziate appropriate per gli studenti che esibiscano una certificazione di DSA, in conformita alla legge 170/2010.
L?eventuale esito negativo del test non preclude l?immatricolazione al corso di studio ma attribuisce un debito formativo in entrata (Obbligo Formativo Aggiuntivo - OFA) che gli studenti dovranno recuperare prima di sostenere gli esami corrispondenti alle discipline oggetto del test e comunque entro il primo anno, altrimenti non potranno iscriversi al secondo anno del corso di studio.
Per consentire agli studenti di colmare le carenze riscontrate sono attivati Corsi di recupero che mettono lo studente in condizione di poter seguire proficuamente il proprio percorso formativo.
Al termine del Corso di recupero, verra effettuata una Prova di verifica del superamento degli OFA.
Gli studenti che non avessero superato/sostenuto questa Prova avranno a disposizione date successive con cadenza almeno bimestrale che sono comunicate nel corso del primo semestre di lezioni.
Prova finale
La prova finale consiste nella discussione, dinanzi ad una commissione di docenti nominata dal Direttore del Dipartimento, di un elaborato scritto o di un progetto in uno dei settori della formazione di base, caratterizzante e/o affine-integrativa, coerente con gli obiettivi formativi del corso di laurea.
La prova finale consiste in un breve elaborato di approfondimento di un argomento trattato durante il corso di laurea; il numero di CFU attribuiti e commisurato al tempo ritenuto necessario per la sua preparazione.
Il valore della prova finale risiede nella possibilita che essa offre allo studente di mostrare la propria capacita di sintesi delle conoscenze e competenze acquisite, di applicazione di un metodo di lavoro e di attitudine alla formulazione e risoluzione di problemi specifici permettendo di valutare la capacita di apprendimento, la capacita di applicare le conoscenze acquisite, la autonomia di giudizio e la capacita di comunicare dello studente.
L'elaborato viene svolto dallo studente sotto la guida di un docente (relatore).
Durante la preparazione dell'elaborato il candidato potra utilizzare risorse informatiche, consultare banche dati e materiale bibliografico originale anche in lingua diversa dall'italiano.
Lo studente e ammesso alla discussione dell'elaborato finale previa acquisizione dei crediti formativi previsti per il corso di studio al netto del numero di crediti attribuiti alla prova finale.
Le modalita di prenotazione alla prova finale, le procedure da seguire nonche le regole per l'attribuzione del punteggio sono descritte nel Regolamento per la prova finale del dipartimento DAFNE presente sul sito.

Particolare attenzione e rivolta alla presenza sui diversi canali "social"
L'Ateneo della Tuscia (e nello specifico il Dipartimento DANE ? referente Prof.
Sergio Madonna), nel 2018 insieme ad una cordata di altre Universita (con capofila nella Universita di Firenze - , ha aderito ad un Progetto POT (Piani di Orientamento e Tutorato -DM 1047/2017, artt.
5 e 6), per le lauree di Classe L25.
Il POT dal titolo " Essere, Conoscere, Scegliere: ECS.10 ? avendo ricevuto un ottimo punteggio finale (1,63) e stato finanziato al 100% dal MIIUR.
IL POT prevedeva comunque un cofinanaziamento da parte degli Atenei partecipanti nella misura del 10%.
In estrema sintesi il l POT ha come obiettivi:
? Garantire una scelta universitaria piu consapevole e motivata;
? Garantire una migliore formazione degli studenti sulle materie di base (Italiano, matematica, chimica, fisica, biologia, inglese, ecc);
? Ridurre il numero degli studenti che finiscono fuori corso o abbandonano il corso di studi;
? Rafforzare le competenze ed i soft skills utili per trovare un lavoro alla fine del percorso universitario.
Rispetto alle azione previste dal POT nel mese di aprile 2019 sono stati fatti una serie di incontri per coordinare il POT per le lauree di Classe L25, con il PLS (Coordinato dal Prof.
Grandinetti), con gli altri POT attivi presso il nostro Ateneo (Dipartimento DEIM) e con il LABFORM (Dott.ssa Sibi).
E' stata quindi fatta una riunione presso l'Universita di Firenze per il coordinamento con gli altri Atenei coinvolti nel POT e con la referente nazionale del progetto (Prof.
Furlanetto).
In base alla provenienza degli studenti che si iscrivono ai nostri corsi, sono stati individuati e coinvolti nel progetto POT una serie di Istituti Superiori con i quali tuttavia le azioni previste dal POT, per motivi connessi alla programmazione scolastica, verranno sviluppate soprattutto a partire dal mese di settembre 2019.
A livello locale a presentazione del POT e stata fatta durante sia durante il convegno "Formare al Cambiamento organizzato dalla Universita della Tuscia in collaborazione con numerosi Enti ed Organizzazioni scolastiche e territorriali, il 28 e 29 maggio 2019, sia in occasione della chiusura del PLS di Ateneo il 3 giugno 2019.
A livello nazionale la presentazione del POT avverra presso il 7 e ll'8 giugno 2019 nell'apposito convegno organizzato presso presso l'Universita degli studi di Firenze.
Il POT prevede una serie di azioni rivolte non solo agli studenti iscritti ai nostri corsi, ma anche ai loro Istituti di provenienza, al fine di far approfondire la conoscenza di alcune materie di base utili in ambito universitario ed in particolare:
Azione 1.A.
sarà rafforzato il raccordo con le scuole secondarie di secondo grado principalmente di tipo "tecnico" per condividere le diverse azioni del progetto.
Il raccordo avverrà mediante riunioni in cui saranno presentate/coprogettate le attività.
Saranno predisposti questionari di valutazione delle attività i cui risultati saranno condivisi con le scuole per effettuare un monitoraggio e un riesame delle attività a livello di sede e di Cabina di Regia del progetto.
? Azione 1.B.
: presentazione nelle scuole secondarie di secondo grado partecipanti al progetto, dell'Offerta formativa di tutti gli Atenei coinvolti delle classi di laurea L25 con focus sulle differenze caratterizzanti i diversi ambiti territoriali.

− seminari tematici su problemi relativi alla sostenibilità per far comprendere come l'interdisciplinarietà è fondamentale nella risoluzione di problemi complessi e quanto ogni professionalità contribuisca alla loro risoluzione.
Azione 1.C.
- sarà erogato un test di autovalutazione sulla base di quanto richiesto per la valutazione delle competenze in ingresso dalle singole sedi.
Il test sarà composto anche da una macro sezione di tipo motivazionale relativa agli atteggiamenti, al metodo di studio e alle credenze funzionali a un inserimento adattivo nel nuovo contesto universitario.
Il test sarà erogato in modalità on-line nelle diverse sedi e i risultati saranno discussi con i docenti delle scuole coinvolte a livello di singola sede e nella cabina di regia del progetto.
Il test sarà somministrato nelle classi IV e nelle classi V delle scuole coinvolte.
Ogni studente riceverà un profilo della prova effettuata relativo alle sezioni disciplinari e un profilo della prova relativo alla sezione motivazionale.
- saranno promossi incontri con i docenti delle scuole secondarie coinvolte al fine di ridiscutere i risultati conseguiti negli anni precedenti dagli studenti nel test e nella progressione di carriera con il fine di definire i saperi minimi richiesti per un proficuo accesso all'Università.
- saranno organizzati corsi di potenziamento delle competenze relative a matematica, fisica, biologia e chimica attraverso moduli pomeridiani.
Gli studenti avranno inoltre la possibilità di accedere ai compendi DIALOGARE sviluppati da UNIFI e relativi alle discipline di Chimica, matematica, fisica, biologia e logica (www.unifi.it/orientamento).
Sarà possibile inoltre usufruire da smartphone dei compendi come ipertesti per eseguire esercizi on line, verificarne l'esecuzione e ottenerne la spiegazione
Azione 1.D - saranno sviluppati percorsi di alternanza strutturati con attività laboratoriale finalizzata al raggiungimento di obiettivi formativi che permettano agli studenti di trasformare le conoscenze in competenze e osservare in modo critico i diversi aspetti del sapere legati alla sostenibilità ambientale.
Tali azioni di orientamento potranno essere inquadrate all'interno delle attività promosse dalle Scuole nell'ambito dei PON Scuola 2014?2020 e riguarderanno:
- percorsi di Alternanza Scuola ? Lavoro per permettere agli studenti di sperimentarsi nel contatto reale con le discipline universitarie attraverso la frequenza a lezioni e laboratori specifici per potenziare aspetti disciplinari e facilitare la scelta accademica ancorata all'esperienza;
- sviluppo di un progetto/prodotto su proposta della scuola attraverso i seguenti step: seminario di almeno 4 ore tenuto da docenti universitari, realizzazione presso la scuola del progetto/prodotto e discussione finale del lavoro realizzato nella sede universitaria.

The course has three main objectives: 1) to provide some fundamental elements of Earth Sciences aimed at understanding the evolution of the Earth's system and its dynamic character; 2) provide basic notions for the interpretation and use of geological data available at national and regional level (for non-geological professionals); 3) highlight the multiple hazards and geological risk factors that characterize the national territory. Taking into account that the application of the European INSPIRE (INfrastructure for SPatial InfoRmation in Europe) directive implemented in Italy with Legislative Decree 32/2010, has completely changed the management and distribution of territorial data and, in particular, geological data. The course also provides indications on how to use the geothematic data made available by standard OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) services, of the leading national and regional geoportals, which have become the main (and often the only) source of information and acquisition of such data. 1) knowledge and understanding At the end of the training activity the student will acquire knowledge on the main dynamic processes affecting the terrestrial system, on the hazard and risk factors associated with them and will be able to understand the terminology and symbols used in geological maps, as well as to have the basic knowledge necessary to acquire geological data from the leading national and regional geoportals 2) applying knowledge and understanding. At the end of the training activity, the student must demonstrate that he can perform a search for geothematic data (and in particular those relating to geological cartography) made available by the leading national and regional geoportals and to use them to carry out a brief description of the physical characteristics of the territory with particular reference to its geological hazard factors and relative risk. 3) making judgements. Through the examples proposed during the lessons and the exercises, the student must be able to evaluate the quality of the geological data acquired or the limits related to their use in territorial studies. He must also be able to correctly cite the source of information obtained to distinguish bibliographic data from his interpretations clearly. 4) communication skills. The student must acquire a primary technical language relating to the topics covered during the lessons and exercises to be able to dialogue with professionals and experts engaged in environmental, territorial analysis, management, and design. Communication skills will be verified during the ongoing tests and during the final exam. 5) learning skills The student will have to demonstrate that he possesses the essential notions to be able to carry out a general analysis of the geological data available (on a limited territorial area), and also to be able to acquire further knowledge. Then acquire data for a more in-depth analysis of specific, variable aspects depending on the local characteristics and, therefore, also different from those treated in the examples considered during the course and exercises.
