Primary teacher education

Development of basic ecological skills, to study complex systems to analyze natural and urban ecosystems, by integrating knowledge of mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology. The general aim is to get the basic theoretical knowledge, but also the capacity to apply the notions acquired in the current environmental context that is affected by anthropogenic changes, through a rigorous quantitative analysis of environmental problems at the national and global scale. At the end of the course, the student will acquire a critical point of view on ecological issues, communication skills, and understanding concerning the concept of an ecosystem and the relationship between structure and function, the complexity of ecological processes and the analysis and monitoring of the main interactions between physic and the biotic component of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. These skills will be achieved through laboratory and field activities.
