Penitentiary Clinic as the project of effective academic education - learning experiences through retrospective

Summary/Abstract: Cognitive curiosity is aroused by the issue of alternative educational areas for students as an experience that stimulates subjective learning and forms the ability to learn independently. Of particular importance is the reflexively deepened, conscious reflection of graduates of social rehabilitation, employed in penitentiary units on the meaning of their participation in the project of the Penitentiary Clinic in terms of pedagogical professional condition. In order to analyze the potential benefits for future penitentiary practitioners, the penitentiary staff in the broadest sense, an attempt to interpret the learning experience, the expectations of the transmission of specialized, unique knowledge that fills certain gaps of current prison system's problems, the possibility of elimination of the total nature of the prison, through retrospective confrontation, was the aim of the study. The presented research is part of a broader project for further analysis made from the perspective of penitentiary staff, and thus for overstepping the limitations of academic education resulting from habits leading to the establishment of an opposition between pedagogical theory and practice. The study fits into the discourse, concerning vocational skills of the social rehabilitation students in the process of alternative, practical education. The interpretative perspective of the research made it possible to consider the respondents as unique, constructive, reflective, taking effective practical actions.
