Knowledge and understanding
Problematizations understanding of the key issues (the theme of education in contrast to the growth of inequality, the relationship between authority and freedom, the central position of the student, denotative characteristics of the “growth-oriented person” process, opposing theoretical approaches in the interpretation of adults training (such as personalism, the hermeneutics, etc..), the role of society – in its several systems and interaction processes – with the spheres of teaching, in reference to the scenarios and the interpretive perspectives of the late modernity (capability approach and human development).
Applying knowledge and understanding
Students must show ability to apply their knowledge and understanding with reference to a professional approach, emphasizing problem solving skills, knowing how to communicate issues, ideas and operating approaches, even dealing with specific study areas (family, micro-and macro-systems, etc.). Students will apply their knowledge to the reading of texts, the description and interpretation of social and multicultural contexts, the analysis of projects and initiatives that promote the development of individual and social learning processes even within communities, the school and the world of work.
Making judgements
Students should be able to argue autonomously about key issues of general education with reference to interpretive perspectives of the contemporary society.
Communication skills
Students will be able to develop various forms of (oral and written) Communication in group teaching situations.
Learning skills
Students will also be able to develop learning skills (information gathering and reliable web and bibliographic sources search), in view of further discussion and elaboration of an independent research.
