DIFFERENCE AND EDUCATION

The time of complexity and planetary interdependence opens up new horizons of reflection, all equally oriented towards building an idea of citizenship that escapes both abstract cosmopolitanism and short-sighted internationalism. It is in this horizon of meaning, which expands individual and collective responsibilities, that it becomes crucial to start a pedagogical reflection on the sense of universalism starting from the nuclear category of difference. The course, that falls within the supplementary training activities of the Master's Degree Course in Philosophical Sciences, aimed at analyzing and addressing critical situations attributable to globalization making use of the contribution of pedagogical skills and aims, in particular, to achieve the following objectives: highlight the specificity and role of pedagogy in building new spaces for meeting and dialogue; bring the attention of students to the anthropological sustainability of certain social behaviors; critically analyze the phenomenology of the differences that characterize the subjects of training (gender, individual, social or cultural); eviscerate the problems related to the social perception of diversity; propose a reinterpretation of the difference from an ecological perspective as a value and as a resource.

The verification of the learning results will take place through an oral test, which will aim to ascertain the mastery of the topics covered, the presentation ability and the critical approach. In particular, the discussion will be divided into two moments, one dedicated to the verification of the reference texts and one to that of the creative path drawn up by the student and previously agreed with the teacher. Both will be evaluated out of fifteen: the final mark will be determined by the sum of the two partial marks.

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.
