Further information
The timetable of the course may be subject to variations with reference to the didactic activities that can be carried out off-site.
The start of the course is scheduled for the first week of March.
Some lessons can be held remotely in video conference using the moodle platform.
During the course students will be invited to participate in events / conferences organized by the chair.
Type of Assessment
The learning outcomes will be achieved by the students through participation in the courses, which will be aimed at the active involvement of the student and will offer a guide to personal study to promote autonomy in learning. THE
results are verified through interviews, questionnaires, oral and written tests, but also through practical activities of designing educational / training interventions, simulation and reflection activities on experiences and case studies.
Course program
The aim of the course is to learn about different theoretical and methodological approaches on conflict theory and the ways in which these can be treated, managed and resolved. Due to the importance assumed in the educational and training field the position assumed by the educator or by any person who aims to help identify resolutive paths in conflict management and peace education, the choice of theoretical models as well as methodologies is responsible for the result that will be achieved. For this reason, the course focuses primarily on the question of the largely consolidated nature of the literature on the subject, about the non-avoidance of conflicts. After this exploration, the different and possible methodological paths that the educator / trustee can use to identify the management and resolution strategies will be considered.
The course will also consider the contribution given by Feuerstein's psycho-pedagogical approach to the concept of mediation. The knowledge of how mediation is responsible for the quality of learning, turns out to be a creative contribution to operate an integration with pedagogical, psycho-sociological models related to conflicts.
Due to the wide possibility of contexts in which conflicts can emerge at different levels and intensities, the thematic discussions will be proposed to be carried out in small groups. The themes will be introduced during the course and will concern: interreligious dialogue and education in knowledge of the Holocaust and other genocides. One of the three weekly lesson days on Wednesdays will be dedicated to these activities.
The working group will be indicated at the conclusion of each thematic module of the course. The contributions and works produced by the students will enrich the site on self-managed peace education by the students.
These insights will be self-assessed by the students themselves, through anonymity methods, and will be the object of monitoring the learning and personal elaboration of the course contents. Monitoring this process will be a tool for evaluating learning. In order to make it more transparent and participant, the course will use the different options on the moodle page
