To provide students of this course, prospective teachers, the historical knowledge of the Italian school from its birth until today, to acquire skills of analysis of the effects of the most significant changes and appropriate knowledges about the trials that have marked these changes to start a professional career conscious

At the end of the course the participants will be able to:

• describe the key characteristics of teaching-learning process in relation to the cultural, social and environmental complexity of the present time.
• describe and analyze school environments in the light of the ecological perspective of education systems
• describe the most relevant aspects of the teaching-learning process and recognize and highlight the measurable factors of the involved variables
• analyze plans, procedures and tools for process observation
• identify the stages that characterize observation procedures
• individuate the main differences among typologies of observation tools
• specify and describe some aspects that characterize assessment and evaluation as regulators of teaching-learning processes
• explain the reasons why evaluation is an education factor aimed at improving the quality of teaching and learning in the perspective of auto efficacy
• link learning models with teaching functions
• individuate effective ways of communicating evalutation from the perspective of a socio-relational and affective framework.

The main purpose of this course is to develop, to strengthen or improve students’ pedagogic consciousness about the presence and use of technologies at school and into society.

This course is designed to help the prospective elementary teachers make the transition from school mathematics to viewing elementary mathematics from an advanced standpoint. The course enables the student to: 1. Consider the different systems of numbers (natural numbers, integers, rational and real numbers) from an advanced standpoint. 2. Consider elementary geometry and algebra from and advanced standpoint. 3. Reach an understanding of the nature of mathematical thought (abstract concepts, mathematical problems, the idea of proof).

The Course offers the student theoretical and practical foundations in Pedagogy and Didactics of music

The aim of the Laboratory is the diffusion of music knowledge among the students through concerts and public lectures given by musicians and musicologists.

THE AIM OF THE WHOLE COURSE IS TO ILLUSTRATE TO STUDENTS THE MAIN THEMES OF CONTEMPORARY HISTORY AND ITS INTERPRETATIONS

At the end of the year course students:
• will acquire criteria to analyze and differentiate the "language" of those who use the wall to say something;
• will distinguish the graphic production based on styles, shapes, colors chosen by the writers;
• will be able to understand the inside emotional message;
• will invent projects to be implemented in schools to prevent this phenomenon

Course objectives will focus on developing a variety of skills differently
associated with the following contents:
- The main methodological approaches to research in education (types of research
in relation to the quantitative neo-positivist paradigm and the qualitativeinterpretative
paradigm);
- Correlational research and Experimental research (with particular reference to
research on teaching practices);
- Research questions and research design;
- Constructs, quantitative and qualitative variables (dependent and independent)
- Scales (nominal, ordinal, continuous);
- hypotheses formulation and setting in experimental research;
- Data collection (assessment techniques and procedures);
- Tests features as a measurement tool in experimental research (main types of
tests);
- The presentation of research results.

Workshop objectives will focus on developing a variety of skills differently
associated with the following contents:
- Statistical tests for testing the hypotheses;
- How to measure scale reliability (Cronbach's alpha);
- How to select a statistical test based on the hypotheses;
- How to determine if a difference is statistically significant (chi-square,
nonparametric tests, different types of t-test);
- How to determine if two variables are associated (Pearson correlation).

At the end of the year course students:
- will have knowledge of the history of education of the disabled, with particular reference to the Italian experience that has lead our country to totally and fully integrate students with disabilities in all levels and kind of schools;
- will be able to recognize, with appropriate cognitive tools, the centrality of the person and to promote the quality of life for everyone regardless of personal or social conditions;
