OVERVIEW

AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

In the course we propose the achievement of knowledge related to the theoric and theoretical foundations of the general science of education and human formation, moving from its scientific structure and from the objects of study. Specific reference is set on the structural ideas that are advantageous and essential in the context of educational relationships. The complexity of the educational profession is reflected by the structure of research, criticism, logic, discourse and language of Pedagogy. Attention is projected both on the educational and formational, not educational and deforming dynamics analyzing them from the historical-etymological origins, both on the categories of the human being in formation, both on the educational environments in contemporary world.
