Teaching methods

The course includes, in addition to lectures and theoretical reflections, even the direct involvement of students through case-studies, work-group and discussions in plenary. The students will be also involved in the analysis of different materials about pedagogical documentation.

Assessment methods and criteria

The students' learnings will be evaluate through an oral exam which includes questions about: a) the student's knowledge about the main theories and topics of the course b) the student's competence about reflecting on specific themes in a critical way c) the student's competence about analyzing issues across different contexts and perspectives.
The threshold of the pass mark is defined by the compliance to both these parameters:
a. full reading of the proposed texts;
b. Implementation of a research / individual reflection on the text with the elaboration of individual proposals and criticism.
