Module B — Didaktik der Geschichte mit besonderer Berücksichtigung der Altersstufe 5-12 (Lab.)

The course will alternate lectures and workshop activities that are strongly integrated with the teaching of History Didactics: thematic in-depth studies to promote the professional teaching skills needed to design and implement the history curriculum in primary schools, required by the national indications and provincial guidelines.

The course is organised in 3 units\courses of different lengths.
After an initial analysis of the national and provincial indications to highlight pedagogical approaches, didactic suggestions, aims and competences, the first unit will be tackled.

Unit 1: Cultural heritage and education for active citizenship
The proposed unit is aimed at recovering what students have already learnt (in the course Didactics of History: theoretical-methodological foundations) about the structure of historical knowledge and the work that the historian carries out in the different stages of research, in order to build skills in analysing sources and planning historical-educational research.
Exercises will be carried out on the analysis of traces of different kinds, in order to transform them into sources: museum exhibits, archaeological sites, archive documents, iconographic representations of sources, etc., in order to produce direct and inferential information to be combined with extra-source information, and to make comparisons. Other exercises will involve images of traces and sources also in digital format. They allow us to intervene and interact directly with the study and investigation material.
Particular attention will be paid to the management of learning units with cultural heritage in the context of DAZ and CLIL courses.

Unit 2: The structure of the historical text
What has already been learnt about the analysis of the structure of texts, the elements that compose it, the founding nuclei and the specificities of textual communicative forms will be re-proposed in a workshop mode, in order to build skills in the analysis of written, iconic and digital texts found in textbooks, popular texts and on the web to construct pictures of civilisations or narrate and explain the great processes of transformation of the world and humanity.
They will also be shown the numerous websites (Teaching History) where it will be possible to work on specific historical texts and subdivide them into planned topics so as to understand their new digital and interactive structure. Each digital text should be followed by exercises in which students will have to use material, of all kinds, in digital format.
The analysis of texts will be aimed at promoting comprehension and rewriting skills especially in DAZ and CLIL courses.

Unit 3. Workshop activity as the cornerstone of teaching and learning processes
Analyses and productions will be carried out, of didactically effective tools for representing information and knowledge, such as temporal graphs, digital infographics, geo-historical maps, space-time maps, interactive concept maps, diagrams and posters that can be modified during the course of the lessons.
The effectiveness of representing information and knowledge by means of non-continuous texts will be emphasised, especially in the teaching of history in DAZ and CLIL courses.

Module C — Didaktik der Geographie: inhaltliche Vertiefung

The course is divided into four parts.
The first part is dedicated to analysing the development of spatial perception in children.
The second part is devoted to the development of spatial representation in the child.
The third part focuses on the manipulation of space.
The fourth part, building on the elements developed in the previous sections, focuses on the design, evaluation and documentation of geography-related teaching activities.

Module D — Didaktik der Geographie mit besonderer Berücksichtigung der Altersstufe 5-12 (Lab.)

The course is dedicated to developing skills in teaching mediation and the design and implementation of teaching and learning activities. Introductory lectures and guided exercises are alternated to train skills in teaching how to observe environments, territories, landscapes and how to read and interpret the images and maps that represent them. Other activities are devoted to analysing geographical descriptions in order to train communication skills.
