Course Structure

• EDUCAZIONE DEGLI ADULTI

  The course is organised into lectures (about 40% of classroom hours) and classroom work based on active learning activities (60%). Students will be asked to re-elaborate the contents of the lessons, work in small groups, present the work done; report on case studies and on-field researches.

  During the classroom activities students will be able to actively work on the learning contents of the course. Lectures will alternate moments of group and individual work; guided study moments; presentation of the learning products that the students themselves will have prepared. These activities will be considered as formative assessment, aimed at allowing the student to self-assess the level of mastery of the contents.

  A written written exam is scheduled, to be held in November (the calendar will be agreed in October).

  Non-attending students can contact the teacher directly for clarification on the course contents. For Erasmus students there is the possibility of agreeing the exam program after an interview.

  Should teaching be carried out in mixed mode or remotely, it may be necessary to introduce changes with respect to previous statements, in line with the programme planned and outlined in the syllabus.

  Learning assessment may also be carried out on line, should the conditions require it.

  Starting from a case study, students will work in small groups on the topics presented by the teacher.

  The methodology will always be active and participatory.

  Should teaching be carried out in mixed mode or remotely, it may be necessary to introduce changes with respect to previous statements, in line with the programme planned and outlined in the syllabus.
