Although no particular prerequisite is required, in the knowledge that many students will approach pedagogy perhaps for the first time during this course, a cultural attitude of listening is expected to be assumed by the student, for the purpose of successful participation in the lessons and willingness to actively grasp and re-elaborate, in a collaborative context, the theoretical and practical questions posed by pedagogical analysis.

The course offers a general introduction to the vast theme of pedagogy, presenting reference backgrounds, conceptual frameworks, heuristic constructs, models and approaches in the context of the theories of education of the last century and the current context.
This class is aimed at providing students with
- knowledge and ability to understand a specific terminology in order to refer to educational issues;
- knowledge and ability to understand issues related to pedagogical phenomena (with references to scientific literature) in order to be able to problematize key issues of the cultural debate and aspects found in educational contexts of different types;
- communication skills of explicating and sharing cultural issues regarding educational phenomena;
- tools for a critical reading of educational phenomena and situations as characteristic aspects of the community of associated life.

Title: Introduction to general pedagogy
Although designed as a whole, the course is structured in three modules. The first module (6 hours), taught by Monica Ferrari, will introduce the construct of pedagogy/education also in light of the concepts of identity (of individuals and social groups) and inclusion. The second module (18 hours), delivered by Matteo Morandi, will instead focus on some of the main student-centered theories of education which had been developed during the 20th century, also through direct reading of some authors. The third (12 hours), taught by Donatella Savio, will refer to psychological theories that question the transmissive teaching methods by proposing educational approaches centered on the student and on the interaction between peers.
The course is designed with a view to a more general reflection on teaching/learning processes and learning facilitation from an inclusive and participatory perspective, also in close relation to teacher training courses.

The three modules are closely interconnected, and teachers use shared methodologies aimed at encouraging dialogue and active/cooperative discussion in the working group. The possible participation of other teachers/researchers/experts interested in the topic of the course is not to be excluded.

Oral exam
Students who have in their study plan and therefore will take the 12 CFU exam (General Pedagogy A + General Pedagogy B = General Pedagogy code 500070 exam) will take the oral exam during the same session. Please contact the teachers in order to agree on the readings for the exam.
In any case, even students who have in their study plan and who therefore intend to take the 6 CFU General Pedagogy A exam (code 500083) are asked to agree with the teachers on the readings.
Indicators:
- knowledge of the basic texts of the exam programme;
- ability to explain autonomously the silver thread that links some of the issues in the basic texts, coherently with the exam's programme;
- ability to critically analyse and personally re-elaborate the issue proposed by the course;
- clear and logically coherent presentation;
- lexical accuracy.

Students will be able to obtain the materials shown during the lessons (slides) by logging in with their University credentials at Kiro.
