Semester 2 · 11411A · Einstufiger Master in Bildungswissenschaften für den Primarbereich - Abteilung in italienischer Sprache · 4KP · IT

Module A — Didaktik der Geschichte: methodisch-theoretische Grundlagen

The course will be divided into three parts:
- the first dedicated to epistemological and methodological reflection on history as a discipline of study and research;
- the second dedicated to the teaching of history at school, yesterday and today, between reforms and the current regulatory framework;
- the third dedicated to activities to be carried out in kindergarten and in the first two classes of primary school in order to form the first dispositions to the study of history in pupils aged 2-7.
The first part will provide a general overview of the scientific status of history and its cognitive and communicative processes. It will delve into its cultural and educational purposes and its more general social function. It will show the evolution of the discipline and the way of doing history, with a special focus on the question of the use of sources. It will expound the historical method by explaining how the historian constructs historical knowledge, how he or she uses traces as sources, how he or she produces direct and inferential information, how he or she proceeds in the elaboration of knowledge through the composition of the historical text.
The second part will shift the focus to the relationship between historiographical knowledge and the teaching of history. It will show the relationships between the evolution of historiographic reflection and the transformations in the way history is taught at school, focusing on some current points of tension between debates and reforms regarding teaching objectives and methods. It will present the essential contents of the national indications and the provincial guidelines of Bolzano and Trento. It will illustrate the various forms of history didactics at school, from traditional didactics to the history didactics workshop, from the use of the teaching aid to the use of new technologies.
The third part will show the activities that can form the first dispositions for the study of history in children aged 2-7, from the knowledge of measuring instruments of everyday time to the use of children's own experiences, etc.

Module D — Didaktik der Geographie mit besonderer Berücksichtigung der Altersstufe (0)-2-7 (Lab.)

In synergy with the lessons, the workshop promotes the professional skills needed to design and implement the geography curriculum in pre-school and primary schools, consistent with the national indications and provincial guidelines. The workshop will engage students to exercise the cognitive operations underlying the construction of geographical knowledge and to apply the conceptualisations of space, environment, territory and landscape. The activities will be held in the field whenever possible and will make use of concrete experiences related to the specific skills of the discipline.
