The module is part of the learning area of the courses characterising the degree and, specifically, in the subject areas of History of Pedagogy and Comparative Pedagogy.
It comprises two teaching units pertaining to the pedagogical sector (History of Pedagogy and Schooling and Comparative Education) and four labora-tories pertaining to the History of Pedagogy subject area.
The objectives have been defined in a unified manner in order to construct, as far as possible, a homogeneous and integrated training pathway aimed both at providing students with a mastery of general scientific methods and content and specific professional knowledge.
In the course of History of Pedagogy and Schooling - priority will be given to the knowledge of the languages, themes and problems of the historiography of education and the history of education, analysing in a diachronic key the development of pedagogy from the Mediterranean paideiae to the contempo-ran age and the correlation between theories, models, institutions and educational practices.
More space will be devoted to the 20th century, from the birth of scientific peda-gogy to contemporary pedagogy, with an in-depth study of the various movements and the main interpreters.
The course will be further deepened in the course of Comparative Education, in which the aims, the main tools and methods for comparing education and instruction systems, the methodological bases of comparative and educational historical research, as well as the connections with other fields of interest and research will be examined, with a particular focus on a critical investigation of the current processes for the construction of a European educational space, also from the perspective of sharing a common didactic pedagogical vocabulary and homogeneous - albeit contextualised - educational policies.
