Objectives

The Bachelor of Education aims to educate reflective practitioners.

Students learn to foster knowledge, skills, and attitude development in the classroom by taking into account children’s individual and cultural resources.
Students are encouraged to develop their own critical thinking and teaching style based on the theoretical foundations acquired in class and to create their own learning path through a variety of individual and group projects in the school and out-of-school context.

Students will complete a scientifically based dissertation analysing a pedagogical issue related to school practices.
