Curriculum
teacher profile teaching materials
The course also develops thematic paths that allow to enhance the role of the sources (archival, written, oral, audio-visual, online) in "making history". A first path concerns the emergence of a culture and practices of "active citizenship", as a reflection of the values of the Republican Constitution. A second thematic path concerns the events and transformations of Civic Education in the school of the Republic, introduced in 1958 by Aldo Moro and recently returned to being of great actuality. A third path concerns the figure of the Presidents in the history of the Republic as agents of construction and diffusion of a civil pedagogy or an education in the culture of responsibility and social cohesion, from Luigi Einaudi to Sergio Mattarella.

Programme
The course includes a manual section, which aims to offer an exhaustive picture of political-institutional, socio-economic and communicative-media transformations in the historical processes that have marked the last two centuries, between 1848 and the present time, with attention to the roots of modernity in the nineteenth century and to the challenges of the twenty-first century. Priority is given to the processes of global interaction and interdependence, placing European history in a global geo-political context and Italian history itself in a transnational perspective.The course also develops thematic paths that allow to enhance the role of the sources (archival, written, oral, audio-visual, online) in "making history".

Type of delivery of the course
The course combines frontal lessons with workshop activities, focused on the use and enhancement of historical work through sources: written texts and oral testimonies, photographs and images, audio-visual documents. Due to the forced suspension of the frontal teaching, the student can access replacement and complementary materials on the moodle platform: http://formonline.uniroma3.it/course/view.php?id=895 The materials, made visible to the students in temporal succession, corresponding to the frontal lessons program, develop the course through the texts in adoption. They consist of: a) recorded video lessons b) in-depth podcast c) commented slides, supporting videos and podcasts. The teacher communicates to the students through the "Announcements" the insertion of the materials and the modality of progressive use. Students can interact with the teacher through the "Didactic Forum".The teacher meets the students on the Teams platform on 21 and 28 April and 5 May, for connection lessons between the materials available on the platform and simulations on the exam questions.Type of evaluation
