• delineate in a scientific way the scientific field of Pedagogical Science, its relation with individual scientific disciplines and the interdisciplinarity that characterizes its field

• describe the research subject of Pedagogical Science and its related scientific branches

• explain and work with the basic concepts of the Science of Pedagogy providing examples of their contents

• know basic research methods in a specific field and be able to provide examples of approaches for each method

• know the significant phases of Pedagogical Science and describe its significant representatives

• describe the most important interpretative ‘models’ regarding the phenomenon of education and socialization of students

 

At the level of ability:

  1. COURSE CONTENT
The course introduces in a systematic way the fields and foundational concepts of Pedagogical Science, the basic theories of socialization, the models of education, the pedagogical institutions, the structure and models of their analysis, the epistemological approaches and models of Science, as well as the basic methodological research approaches

Indicatively, some thematic sections are presented below:

  • Relationship between theory and practice and difficulties of socializing Pedagogical discourse
  • Epistemological approaches in Pedagogical Science and delineation of the subject of Pedagogical Science
  • Main theoretical currents of Pedagogy (Educators and Educational Philosophy of flows and movements)
  • Basic categories of the Science of Pedagogy
  • Theoretical approaches of Education
  • Theoretical approaches of Socialization
  • Fields of pedagogical applications (institutions, functions and organizational schema of educational structures)
  • Theoretical traditions and research tools for understanding the educational field
  • Specific and contemporary educational issues (Teachers, Communication, Teaching, Learning Forms)
  1. LEARNING & TEACHING METHODS – EVALUATION
TEACHING METHOD
Face to face, Distance learning, etc.		 FACE TO FACE
USE OF INFORMATION & COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY (ICT)
Use of ICT in Teaching, in Laboratory Education, in Communication with students		 For this course, the online e-class platform is used, on which online texts, digital study sources and work environments are put.

Through this online environment, communication with the students is delivered, updates are posted and work assignments are given.
TEACHING ORGANIZATION

The ways and methods of teaching are described in detail.

Lectures, Seminars, Laboratory Exercise, Field Exercise, Bibliographicresearch& analysis, Tutoring, Internship (Placement), Clinical Exercise, Art Workshop, Interactive learning, Study visits, Study / creation, project, creation, project. Etc.

Student Evaluation

Description of the evaluation process

 

Assessment Language, Assessment Methods, Formative or Concluding, Multiple Choice Test, Short Answer Questions, Essay Development Questions, Problem Solving, Written Assignment, Essay / Report, Oral Exam, Presentation in audience, Laboratory Report,Clinical examination of a patient,Artistic interpretation, Other/Others

 

Please indicate all relevant information about the course assessment and how students are informed 

 

The evaluation is based on two axes: a) the active participation of students in the educational process, which is ensured with their involvement in a submitted assignment that is considered as a prerequisite for understanding the content of the course and their participation in the final examinations; and b) their participation in the final written examination.
