Università Roma Tre

The course aims to address dynamically and systemically the three broad themes proposed by the title, starting from a problem – the decrease of the ability of reading comprehension in the adult population – which is pivotal in the international research on education.
In the basic theory course, which will be presential, the students will learn to use the experimental method in an education context. In particular, examples of research project will be introduced, which were carried out within the Workshop of Experimental Pedagogy [(Laboratorio di Pedagogia Sperimentale) (Dipartimento di Progettazione Educativa e Didattica)], on the themes constituting the topic of the course. To allow those students who may be interested in acquiring knowledge of this area also in English, part of the classes will take place using materials in that language. In particular, an Italian/English textbook will be adopted.
The distance activities are articulated in 5 didactic units each. Each didactic unit, which comprises study and exercise materials, ends with formative evaluation tests that the students can self-administer, receiving an instant message correcting any mistake.
To carry out the final work, students will be tutored in presence and online. Through the forum and the interactive messaging service, they will be able to interact with their peers and the tutor.
