Learning Objectives
The course introduces the general themes and problems of general didactics, identifying knowledge, skills, methods and work tools useful for the effectiveness of the educational action of the future educator. In particular, the construct, including historical, of the discipline and the current debate on teaching in its relations both with research, and the related issues of documentation and innovation, and with action, in its design, operational and evaluation. Within this framework, we intend to develop the analysis of learning strategies attributable to the Mastery Learning and Flipped Learning models.

- Presentation of the course (one lesson)

Knowledge and understanding: having acquired the contents of the program, understanding the fundamental lines and specific aspects of general didactics.
Applying knowledge and uderstanding: knowing how to apply the concepts, ideas, theories and methodologies learned even in contexts other than the original one; know how to use knowledge and concepts to hypothesize interventions and projects on specific issues; know how to identify relationships also on an interdisciplinary level.
Making judgments: developing critical, autonomous and flexible thinking through reasoning and reflection on the various contents learned; open up to the reality of teaching through an exploratory and research attitude; question one's own and others' theories.
Communication skills: demonstrate that you have mastered the basic vocabulary of the discipline and know how to use it in a coherent and logically structured way (use analysis and synthesis, inductive and deductive processes).
Learning skills: at the end of the course the student must have acquired the ability to clearly express the contents of the course, to communicate them through a correct disciplinary language, to discuss topics and problems of general didactics.
