The course aims to strengthen basic knowledge and critical skills in the construction of educational objectives in teaching life sciences in nursery and primary schools; attention will be paid to the choice of specific learning objectives according to the two different target types of schools.
Classroom sessions will be supported by ppt presentations, videos and documents made available in aulaweb. When possible, thematic seminars will be organizedd with the collaboration of specialists.
The course will address issues and basic concepts in life sciences such as the origin of life, biodiversity, biological evolution, structural and functional levels in the biological organization. The interaction between organisms and the environment will be also considered, with particular attention to the impact on human species on the biosphere. The themes will also be selected according to their potential importance in the construction of future programming paths and teaching relating to the two orders of school of reference. In this perspective the teacher maintains a close relationship and interaction with the course of the Life Science Teaching.
Given the wide spectrum of biological topics included, from basic evolutionaly biology, to ecology, reference documents, bibliography and other materials will be made available to the students trough aulaweb. The possibility to use some specific books already at disposal of the students will be discussed at the beginning of the course.
