The master QoLexity

  • 2. Method

According to the Italian University system, According to the Italian University system, the access to the second level master is possible to anyone in possession of a qualification corresponding to bachelor’s degree (3-year degree) + master degree (2-year degree)

The master QoLexity

  • 2. Method

“QoLexity” is a neologism “QoLexity” is a neologism coined at the first international workshop of the Italian Association for Quality-of-Life Studies (AIQUAV) held in Florence in September 2011

The master QoLexity

  • 2. Method

“QoLexity” is a neologism “QoLexity” is a neologism refering to the complex approach to definition, measurement, monotoring and analysis of Quality of Life (defined QoLexity) involving different academic disciplines (philosophy, sociology, psychology, statistics, economics, politics sciences)

slide-20
SLIDE 20

The master QoLexity

  • 2. Method

aims at developing the well-known “knowledge triangle”: aims at developing the well-known “knowledge triangle”:

  • innovation (new approaches and new skills in statistics),
  • education (methodologies to define, measure, analyse and communicate new

issues)

  • research (also through practical experiences and traineeships)
slide-21
SLIDE 21

Content and didactic organization

  • 2. Method

The master develops four main topics, addressing different questions:

How can complexity be conceptually revealed and QUALITY OF LIFE … … CONCEPTUAL DEFINITIONS How can complexity be conceptually revealed and constructed? How can QoL be defined? How can QoL be defined through indicators? … DATA SOURCES AND COLLECTION How can data be found? How can data be collected? What are the main technical issues? … ANALYTICAL TOOLS AND STRATEGIES allowing the whole picture to be reconstructed How can the observed pictures be reconstructed? How can the whole picture be simplified and shown? … FINDINGS’ COMUNICATION AND DISSEMINATION How can the whole picture be represented? How can the whole picture be communicated? How can knowledge be transferred into policy?

results

  • 3. Results and future plans

Students The first 5 students have successfully discussed their thesis on January 2015. January 2015. Two attended only few modules.

Students expressed a high level of participation and the evaluation of the program was quite good, both as a whole and for each module. The mix of theoretical lessons and practical applications, especially those related to the production and use of official statistics directly linked to the BES dimensions, was considered particularly effective.

The experience

  • 4. Conclusions

The experience of addressing training issues in the field of “Beyond GDP” measurement proved to be fruitful. The pilot edition of the master was also useful to test the collaboration between an academic establishment and a national statistical institute with respect to an high-level training initiative.
