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 know the functioning of complex systems; to explore the link between complexity and sustainability; 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.

The teacher also makes thematic materials available

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.

Concerning grading (how the marks will be awarded):
Scores in the 18-22 range will be awarded in the presence of:
- sufficient knowledge and ability to apply understanding concerning the examination materials;
- sufficient originality and accuracy of the project;
- sufficient communication skills, especially in relation to the use of language specific to education.

Scores in band 23-26 will be awarded in the presence of:
- fair knowledge and ability to apply understanding concerning the examination materials;
- discrete originality and accuracy of the project;
- fair communication skills, especially in relation to the use of language specific to education
Scores in the 27-30 range will be awarded in the presence of:
- good or excellent knowledge and ability to apply understanding concerning examination materials
- good or excellent originality and accuracy of the project
- fully appropriate communication skills, especially concerning the use of language specific to education.
Honours will be awarded for knowledge and ability to apply understanding concerning the syllabus, judgement and communication skills programme, judgement and communication skills, excellent.

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.
