GENERAL PEDAGOGY

The Pedagogy course is aimed at getting students to acquire knowledge on the topics of education and training both from the theoretical point of view and in reference to the methodological aspects of the discipline.
The educational objectives are as follows:
to define and identify the theoretical and methodological foundations of pedagogical knowledge
to know and be able to use the basic vocabulary of Pedagogy
to acquire analysis skills of different training system (formal, non-formal, informal and territorial) and of different educational needs (in relation to different age groups)
to develop skills in the design and organization of educational and training activities, especially in relation to community services
to acquire basic elements for scientific research in different educational contexts

The course is organised into lectures (about 40% of classroom hours) and classroom work (60%). Students will be asked to re-elaborate the contents of the lessons, work in small groups, present the work done in the classroom at home.

The possibility of participating in a University Laboratory entitled "The Landscapes of the Mafias" is foreseen. The activity performed will be credited.
