basic knowledge of pedagogical terminology

The teaching will aim to discuss, within the context of a long-term diachronic perspective, issues and heuristic elements that give form to the debate on the subject of the Philosophy of Education

The class will take place during the first half of the first semester. Course title: "Evaluation in education as a cultural problem". In the course we will discuss, starting from texts that are now considered "classics", the topic of evaluation in education and educational evaluation as a cultural, pedagogic and political problem which reaches the core of the question of values underlying national educational systems. Reading John Dewey's text on the theory of evaluation will be the starting point of a reasoning on one of the main topics of today's debate, with particular reference to Western educational policies.

All the professor's lessons aim at favouring student's active participation and interactive dialogue in group work. The participation of other professors/researchers/experts with an interest in the course topic is possibile.
