Learning Objectives

• HISTORY OF SCHOOL AND EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS
  

  The aim of the course is to introduce the student to the reading of the history of schools and educational institutions through the use of the methodological and critical lenses of the annalistic historiographic tradition (nouvelle histoire), whose innovative element was the shifting of attention from the study of the history of “Events” (histoire événementielle) to that of the history of structures.

  The new epistemological paradigm for historical science, through the historiographic perspective of the longue durée, will allow for a broad and unstructured vision of the history of schools and educational institutions, in Europe and in the West, and will highlight the historical scenarios of the progressive conquest of "rights" (civil, in the eighteenth century; political, in the nineteenth century; social, in the twentieth century), directly connected to the acquisition of the "right to education and education".

  The expected learning objectives, declined according to the Dublin Descriptors, are the following:

  Knowledge and understanding (DD1)

  • Knowing theories and models in the pedagogical area to interpret educational and training events in a historical-evolutionary and political-economic perspective (of1)

  Knowledge and applied understanding (DD2)

  • Link the theoretical and methodological contents learned to the interpretation of past, present, future events and processes (of2)
  • Knowing how to identify tasks and organizational structure of educational and training services (of3)

  Autonomy of judgment (DD3)

  • Knowing how to summarize the different approaches present in the theories of education and training (of4)

  Communication skills (DD4)

  • Knowing how to communicate and share the analysis of events starting from the knowledge of one's professional field (of5)
• Workshop
  

  The laboratory activity has the general objective of providing basic knowledge relating to historical-educational research (survey methodologies, types of sources, archives, etc.), and to offer the student the opportunity to experiment in a path of historical-educational research concerning the history of the school.
