Learning Objectives
The objectives are based on the Dublin descriptors:
1. Knowledge and understanding: To understand how educational institutions and the teaching profession we know today are the fruit and expression of a particular historical and social process that has its roots in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. To know the evolution that these institutions and professions have had during the 19th and 20th centuries and to understand their motivations. To deepen the character of the school as it has evolved in recent decades.
2. Applying knowledge and understanding: To acquire an appropriate language to reason in historical-social terms of the Italian and European school system.
3. Making judgements: to understand in non passive terms what is declined by the teacher in class or what is written in the reference textbooks, but to take a critical and interlocutory position, which can be manifested in class (through questions), and through the use of open forums on the moodle platform.
4. Communication skills: participate in a group discussion through the forums activated in the moodle platform and related to the different topics covered in the lesson.
