Course program
As part of the objectives of the degree program, teaching aims to provide students with basic knowledge of general and social pedagogy with special emphasis on studying educational and training processes that characterise today's complex social phenomena. By combining and integrating contributions from theoretical reflection and empirical research, the course aims to foster the construction and/or development of the skills necessary to critically confront the main educational emergencies involving a contemporary man in various social contexts. In addition, the course aims to promote in students the development of intra- and inter-personal listening and communication skills that are foundational in the professional relationship in the social-educational field.

Exam mode
The examination will be in written mode, will focus on the topics covered in class and found in the study texts. The examination will consist of three multiple-choice questions (each worth two points - 2/30) and three questions with closed stimulus and open answer (each of the fly of eight points - 8/30). To pass the exam, it is necessary to obtain a grade of not less than 18/30. The examination test will last three hours. In evaluating the test, the following general indexes of judgment will be taken into account overall: a) for questions with multiple-choice answers, the accuracy of the answer will be taken into account; b) for open-ended questions, on the other hand, the mastery and conceptual organization of the thematic content, the thematic breadth and organicity of the discussion, the specialized lexical correctness, the level of in-depth study and ability to make theoretical connections, the ability to critically rework knowledge, and the ability to infer theoretical knowledge of the operational plan in a professional context will be taken into account. The choice of written test is related to the expected learning outcomes, especially regarding the ability to make theoretical connections (including in interdisciplinary terms) and critically rework knowledge. There are no intermediate tests.
