SPACE AND SHAPE
Course objectives
Know and understand some issues and problems that fall within the field of study of mathematics, physical science and nature. Learn how to look, recognize and enhance links with the sciences and their history, artefacts and places in cities. To experiment through the example lived in first person, diversified and active methods of teaching-learning, in which body and movement in the environment are also instruments of knowledge. Enhance the concrete operation linked to thinking and designing active teaching materials. Apply teaching-pedagogical knowledge in the implementation of educational projects. Empower students with respect to the co-construction of their knowledge. Learning outcomes - Acquired knowledge: Recognizing the knowledge of scientific knowledge of artefacts and places in the city. Having had the experience of reading scientific texts (direct texts of scientists, or of history of science or of epistemological character), asking questions also in relation to the involvement of science in the history of an era, in the culture and history of societies, in gender and intercultural problems. To know and understand the methodological and didactic aspects of the proposed experiences and the activities carried out in the course, in relation to the scientific topics addressed. Upon completion of the course the student will have an advanced knowledge of research aspects in the fields of the sciences, such as the steps from the description to the following schematization, to the quantification and research of the causes of an observed phenomenon. He will also have developed historical and epistemological knowledge in the field of science. [Descriptor of Dublin n. 1]. The skills acquired will concern a greater ability to work in a group, to formulate questions with clear language, to reflect on their own learning and their difficulties and uncertainties, to analyze the educational aspects from the point of view of different disciplines involved in educational actions and training. It will have integrated modes of use of one's own body and of one's own sensory capacities among the tools of knowing. [Descriptor of Dublin n. 2]. The transversal competences acquired concern critical and judgmental skills, enhanced by participation in reflection and laboratory activities and the ability to ask questions and use an indicative method. [Descriptor of Dublin n. 3]. The intermediate activities of the course and the final ones in the form of the "Science Stands" organized by the students autonomously, also in groups, and presented to specialists and non-special beneficiaries, will allow to use display skills, choice of questions, materials and problems relevant, also on the basis of the age of the recipients, and to put in place a posteriori evaluation capacity of the proposed actions, from a multidisciplinary point of view. [Descriptor of Dublin n. 4]. To have acquired metareflection capacity on one's own and others' way of dealing with new content and issues related to scientific disciplines, and to face uncertainties and difficulties in understanding so that the student is more able to continue the study independently in the course of the life and deepen the scientific and specific themes of design in education and critically address, with the perspective of complexity, materials related to scientific disciplines. [Descriptor of Dublin n. 5]. Learning outcomes - Acquired skills: students who have passed the exam will be able to conceive, plan and evaluate educational interventions and projects through museum visits and in significant anthropic and nature spaces, and to select and discard relevant information to the topics studied in formal and informal contexts
