Literacy skills in adult population
Future educators, educational designers and dedicated teacher for adult learners-of age, different skills and usually discontinuous training experiences – need tools of assessment of competences validated and aimed at supporting the implementation of flexible educational strategies for continuously directing learning activities according to learners’ needs.
The adult literacy course is intended to enable students to deepen existing examples, tools analysis-methodologies-the elements necessary to the understanding of educational-pedagogical work characteristics to play with adult learners. The course also aims, through individual and small groups work, to develop students’ skills related to the design, formulation and revision of open-ended questions and formulated answers literacy assessment in adulthood.
In particular, the course aims to develop students ' knowledge and skills associated with the following contents:
-most relevant international comparative surveys on adult skills assessment;
-theoretical and methodological foundations of international comparative surveys on adult learning with specific reference to the literacy and to the definitions provided in the framework of investigations;
-the preparation and administration of the questions (types of stimulus and response, administering paper and pencil and computer based, review mode, encoding open-ends);
-the results of the major international comparative surveys on adult skills assessment, with particular reference to the OECD survey PIAAC;
-diachronic perspectives in the analysis of the data available on a worldwide scale in relation to the skills of the adult population (OECD, UNESCO, World Bank data collections and surveys). In particular, it will propose a comparison between surveys IALS, ALL and PIAAC;
-the relationship between functional literacy and ICT at the national level: critical analysis of the impact of technology on literacy and how informal and non-formal learning in adulthood.

"Women and men: same opportunities?"
The seminar aims at contributing to the debate on gender discrimination through the analytical reading of Mary Wollstonecraft’s “A Vindication of the Rights of Woman”, which was published in 1792 and is considered as one of the first essays on female emancipation.
The relationship between education and women liberation, highlighted in many parts of the book, will be analysed through an insight into the author’s life and into the historical and social context in which her critical consciousness was developed. For this purpose, the educational theories developed in Europe along the 18th century – such as those collected in Rousseau’s Emile, criticized and opposed by Mary Wollstonecraft herself – will be examined in depth.
A comparison with the contemporary age will give us the chance to reflect on equal opportunities for men and women to assert themselves in our societies through a fair education system, and also to critically analyse gender stereotypes perpetuated by the mass media. The seminar will also take into account the role of an equal education in those countries where discrimination against women is a daily practice, through the analysis of other sources such as the reports of international surveys (i.e. OECD, IEA) or the speech given by the Nobel peace prize Malala Yousafzai at the United Nations Assembly in 2015.
Seminar structure
During the 18 hours of face-to-face lessons, students will read Mary Wollstonecraft’s book and will be guided to reflect on the author’s educational principles. Students who cannot attend the lessons will be provided with solutions for their individual study, through the integration of the study materials with online documents.
