Methods of connection with other teachings:
Socio-educational methodologies and strategies for diversities is a deeply interdis-ciplinary subject that bridges the solicitations coming - at least - from the educational objectives of General Pedagogy, Social Pedagogy, Special Pedagogy, Intercultural Pedagogy, Development Psychology, Sociology of Cultural Processes, Sociology of Education, Sociology of Families, Special Education, from their epistemological and methodological fields. Namely, the subject will adopt an interdisciplinary-oriented and seminar-based approach aiming at giving to thinking a central role within sys-temic connections, transversal reflections, networks of ideas, manipulations and networks of manipulations, associations, distinctions, representations, codifications and decodifications. Socio-educational methodologies and strategies for diversities is a subject that adopts a phenomenological and comparative approach oriented to deconstruct, reconstruct, engage the methodological narrations of the pedagogical sciences as sources and tools for learning.
