Programme

Studying the Plato's thought, and reading some excerpts, the students will deal with the main educational questions, which from ancient age to nowadays stimulate educators and educational scholars. The platonic dialogues dealt with the several problems discussed in the Greek culture in these period and constitute the basis of the philosophical and scientific discourse, from Aristotle to Nowadays.
The students will be introduced in the main educational questions and antinomies, forms and structures of educating, institutional and widespread, intentional and non-intentional. These forms and structure will be analysed to explain their genealogy, their evolution and the contemporary phenomenology.
Through these pathways and by means of the concepts analysed the students will examine the main forms of professional educational work, from a general and critical point of view: the articulation of activity (design, execution, evaluation), the relational and institutional forms, their characteristics in terms of system, policy, law and regulations, the main devices and techniques.
