Educational goals and expected learning outcomes:
LEARNING OUTCOMES: Knowledge of the theoretical principles underlying educational intervention. In particular knowledge of some educational models and the methods of intervention in determined social contexts KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: The student will learn some educational models and understand the variety of social contexts in which interventions must be modulated APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: The student should be able to apply methods and procedures described in class, recognise areas of applicability, planning educational interventions MAKING JUDGEMENTS: The student is expected to have the ability to collect and interpret data considered useful for developing autonomous judgements, including reflection on related social or ethical issues. COMMUNICATION SKILLS: The student should be able to communicate information, ideas, problems and solutions to specialists and non-specialists. The competent use of specific professional language is required LEARNING SKILLS: The student must be able to read and understand classical educational works, manuals, popular and research publications. He/she must be able to select and correlate topics.

Methods and criteria for verifying the learning:
The exam assesses the student’s overall preparation, the ability to combine knowledge about each part of the syllabus, the coherence of argumentation, the analytical ability, and the autonomy of judgment. In addition, the student’s command of language and clarity of presentation are also assessed, in adherence with the Dublin descriptors (1. knowledge and understanding; 2. applying knowledge and experience; 3. making judgments; 4. learning skills; 5: communication skills). The final grade will be based 70% on the student’s depth of knowledge and 30% on the student’s ability for expression (written and oral) and independent critical thinking. The exam will be evaluated according to the following criteria: – Failed: significant deficiencies and inaccuracies in the knowledge and the understanding of the subject matter; poor analytical and synthesizing skills, recurrent generalizations, limited critical and judgmental skills; the arguments are exposed inconsistently and with inappropriate language. – 18-20: Knowledge and understanding of topics barely adequate, with occasional generalizations and imperfections possible; sufficient capacity for analysis synthesis and autonomy of judgment, the arguments are frequently exposed in an incoherent manner and with inappropriate/non technical language. – 21-23: Fair knowledge and understanding of the subject; proper analysis and synthesis skills with coherent, logical argumentation, but with language that is often inappropriate/non technical. – 24-26: Moderate knowledge and understanding of the subjects; good analytical and synthesis skills with arguments expressed rigorously but with language that is not always appropriate/technical. – 27-29: Comprehensive knowledge and understanding of the subjects; remarkable analytical and synthesis skills. Good autonomy of judgment. Topics expounded rigorously and with appropriate/technical language. 30-30L: Excellent level of in-depth knowledge and understanding of the subjects. Excellent skills in analysis, synthesis, and independent judgment. Arguments are expressed in an original way and with appropriate technical language.
