THEORIES OF EDUCATION AND COMPLEXITY

The course falls within the supplementary training activities of the Master's Degree Course in Philosophical Sciences and has as its purpose to introduce the need for a training idea that goes beyond the emphasis on learning, to establish itself as an intersubjective practice aimed at the co-generation of value. The objectives of the teaching are: to emancipate training from a marginal position with respect to the other key structures of pedagogical investigation and to make it the central, unitary and generative object of pedagogical science; detect the training needs expressed by the complex society; recognize the strategic function of pedagogy understood as the theory of training with respect to the human 'destination'; decline it in teaching / learning paths based on the emergencies expressed by historical time.

Materials provided by the teacher through the moodle platform.

Verification of learning outcomes takes place through an oral test, during which the student must demonstrate that they: know the topics covered during the course, know how to present them in a formal way; knowing how to make creative connections; analyze them with a critical spirit.
For ATTENDING STUDENTS, the discussion will focus on the REFERENCE TEXT. In particular, the contents of the power point and the flipped material explicitly indicated as such are MANDATORY. All the others are to be considered OPTIONAL.
Furthermore, the involvement of students in the classroom and online, the relevance of the interventions, the commitment during the exercises on the proposed contents, as well as the willingness to actively participate in the discussion and moments of intermediate collegial review are considered fundamental components for a profitable attendance and they constitute evaluation elements that contribute to the outcome of the final exam.

For NON ATTENDING STUDENTS the discussion will focus on the REFERENCE TEXT and on the MATERIALS provided by the teacher and made available on the moodle platform. In particular, power points and the flipped material explicitly indicated are MANDATORY. All the others are to be considered OPTIONAL.

The course is frontal and uses the approach known as "Partially Flipped Learning", which allows you to recover, enhance and integrate student-centered pedagogical models and laboratory and collaborative teaching methodologies, all equally aimed at optimizing the time resource and promote the personalization and self-regulation of learning with a view to achieving the student's full autonomy. It will be delivered in web-enhanced mode with the support of the University Moodle platform, on which in-depth materials (articles, videos, interviews) and self-assessment materials will be made available. Attendance is strongly recommended.
