Università Roma Tre

The contemporary crisis can be confronted as a crisis of the measure, that is, of the criteria and principles regulating the exchanges and relationships: among cultures, within globalizing process; among the State and the citizens, at the end of the modern frame of the Contract; among the different spheres of public life, such as school, university, labour and market; among different educational traditions, in the perspective of cultural homogeneous regions, such as the European Higher Education Area. The course aims to provide some critical and analytical tools for the interpretation of the solutions based on quantitative criteria: the liberal democracy model; the standards and the statistical descriptors in the international ratings; the costs-benefits analysis in the individual relationships; the skill, as the valuable outcome of learning.
