Experimental Pedagogy The general objective of the course is both the knowledge acquisition about the main collaborative learning models and the use of technologies, and the ability to apply such knowledge by designing a final artifact: a pedagogical scenario that uses technologies according to the collaborative learning models illustrated in the classroom. Students participate in collaborative activities in classroom and online, aimed at the construction of artifacts (concept maps, power point presentations, educational / pedagogical projects) that put into practice the knowledge "heard" in the classroom and "built" in group discussions. The course is divided into 3 parts: in each of them short thematic lessons are held and stimuli for collaborative activities are provided. Specific objectives are therefore: -Knowledge and understanding knowing the main learning and instruction models, community models; the history of the school, the main educational technologies Understanding the role of Pedagogy within human sciences; understanding the role of technologies in individual and collaborative learning. -Applying knowledge and understanding Knowing how to apply this knowledge to support one's own arguments in discussion forums, to create artifacts that summarize the ideas expressed (concept maps, power point presentations), to design pedagogical scenarios that use technologies to create collaborative learning environments for different age levels -Making judgments Knowing how to read and interpret the results of experimental research in pedagogy. Knowing how to evaluate and express advice within the peer review activities of the artifacts produced by the students in the course. To be able to evaluate sources reliability while searching for information useful for group work - Communication Knowing how to work in a group and to contribute to the discussion and creation of artifacts. Knowing how to communicate effectively presenting to the classroom the work of their group.. - Lifelong learning skills Knowing how to find and evaluate useful information for individual and group work within the Internet and from the bibliographic databases.
