Educational objectives The course focuses on the analysis of the ongoing social, economic and cultural transformation processes with reference to the issues of sustainability, innovation and gender inclusion.
With the primary purpose of training an analyst figure capable of selecting, analyzing, interpreting and connecting quantitative information on a wide range of relevant social aspects, the course is characterized by a distinctly operational character. In fact, it is designed to transfer to students an articulated basket of methodological, statistical, “issues oriented” skills: 1. design and acquisition of empirical bases for the secondary analysis of data on social inclusion and sustainability; 2. development of a data analysis plan anchored to substantive issues and goals; 3. application of data analysis techniques and models; 4. use of statistical tools for data analysis; 5. construction of a research report.
- Knowledge and understanding
The first aim of the course is to provide students with the opportunity to acquire knowledge on the logical, technical-procedural, data processing and analysis aspects in the context of research paths centered on the issues of sustainable, inclusive and gender sensitive innovation.
- Applying knowledge and understanding
The methodological and statistical training acquired is functional for identifying and querying the most recognized national and international statistical sources, as well as for the design and management of complex empirical analyses with secondary data.
- Making judgements
The course is aimed at integrating the training path with a reflective and critical dimension starting from the comparison on the topics addressed, on the contents of the proposed readings (scientific contributions, guidelines, reports), on the main results of empirical research, analyzed and/or produced during the lessons.
- Communication skills
Through the comparison and discussion on the study issues, the course aims to develop communication skills on the training topics, also through a systematic presentation of the results of the exercises, carried out individually and in groups. The student will be able to explain the logic of the analyses - carried out in person or found in the empirical literature - and to communicate the results effectively, using an appropriate and rigorous language.
- Learning skills
Classes and practical exercises are aimed at students' acquisition of skills of analysis and re-elaboration of the study materials, as well as the acquisition of methodological and statistical abilities that can be used in concrete and versatile empirical research opportunities. At the end of the course, the student is expected to have acquired a basket of skills that can be easily transferred to many thematic areas and to be able to design and manage the most operational phases of specific empirical research paths. The student will be able to handle data of different nature, query nationally and internationally recognized statistical databases, independently producing research results and favoring a comparative perspective in terms of space and time.

Educational objectives The course aims to provide knowledge about the specific contribution of social sciences to understanding the relationship between humans and the biosphere, with a view to sustainability of development models as defined by the objectives established by international organizations.
In detail, the objectives of the course can be defined as follows:
1. Knowledge and understanding: the course aims to provide adequate awareness of the continuous and inevitable interaction between human beings, with reference both to their specific psycho-biological qualities and to the organization of social and cultural life, and the biosphere to which human species belongs as an integral part. In this perspective, particular attention will be paid to the way in which the concept of sustainability itself has been developing.
2. Ability to apply knowledge and understanding: the awareness of the integration of human beings in the wider system of life on the planet will make it possible to reconsider the paths of social planning in the various areas covered by the course of study. In particular, the possibilities of application in the fields of pro-environmental perception and behavior, of communication processes on environmental issues and of social vulnerability deriving from environmental threats will be investigated.
3. Critical and judgment skills: the course will develop autonomous skills for reflection and critical judgment, also by means of collective discussions in the classroom; in particular, the possible integrations between the different conceptual and operational models developed in the course of study will be examined, especially those developed in sociological and psychological teachings.
4. Communication skills: the level of learning of basic knowledge and skills will be constantly monitored and developed by means of presentations in the classroom and discussions within working groups.
5. Ability to continue the study autonomously: the course aims to provide the mastery of conceptual and methodological tools, including bibliographic databases and different research techniques, so that students can continue in their own personal project of training in the specific field.

In particular, the possibilities of application in the fields of pro-environmental perception and behavior, communication processes on environmental issues, institutional decision-making and social vulnerability deriving from environmental threats will be studied.
3. Critical and judgment skills: the course will develop autonomous skills for reflection and critical judgment, also by means of collective discussions in the classroom; in particular, the possible integrations between the different conceptual and operational models developed in the course of studies will be examined, especially those studied in depth by sociological and psychological teachings with the support of methodology courses to acquire mastery in the use of measurement, monitoring and evaluation techniques.
4. Communication skills: the level of learning of basic knowledge and skills will be constantly monitored and developed by means of moments of presentation in the classroom and discussion within working groups with the aid of interactive tools from time to time. once analyzed
5. Ability to continue the study autonomously: the course aims to provide the mastery of conceptual and methodological tools, including bibliographic databases and different research techniques, so that students can continue in their own personal project of training in the specific field and applied research.
