STORIA DELLE ISTITUZIONI POLITICHE ED EDUCATIVE IN ETA' MODERNA

Deepening issues, events and main aspects of the Modern Age, with particular attention to the political and institutional events, deal with the educational processes.

The expected learning outcomes, according to the guidelines set by the Dublin Descriptors, are the following:

- DD1: learning and understanding of the vocabulary and terminology of the program, with particular reference to the historical-social aspects of the issues studied and their declination in broader space-time contexts.

- DD2: understanding and mastery of the concepts underlying the topics studied. The study of themes such as the history of the school and the university, together with the analysis of the political and institutional development, told through the approach of first-hand sources and individual cases with a strong meaning in terms of macro history, will allow the student audience to approach phenomena characterizing the modern age.

- DD3 and DD4: the proposed course intends to provide students with specific skills capable of developing precise individual paths aimed at implementing and strengthening the autonomy of judgment and to enforce a path that allows them to convey the skills learned outside.

- DD5: the main objective pursued by the discipline and the proposed path is to allow the development of targeted learning skills that can represent for the student an essential asset that can be used in the future even in extra-university contexts.

Oral exam.

There will be an intermediate test, consisting of the creation of papers - individual or group - on topics that will be agreed with the teacher. The evaluation of the test (whose passing will be expressed with a grade from 18 to 30) will be averaged with the grade of the subsequent and final oral test. The in itinere test can be carried out at the discretion of the student and any failure to pass will not in any way preclude access to the official exams (entire program).
