Learning outcomes

Conoscere l'oggetto di studio della geografia, il punto di vista geografico, i concetti di base che caratterizzano il rapporto tra comunità umane e contesti di vita. Conoscere e comprendere le questioni geografiche nella narrazione contemporanea del rapporto società-ambiente-territorio. Comprendere che l’agire educativo, come ogni altro agire professionale, ha in sé una dimensione ambientale, spaziale, territoriale, per la cui piena comprensione è necessaria la riflessione di carattere geografico. Individuare correttamente nella narrazione contemporanea del mondo - e più specificamente dei contesti in cui insiste la propria professione - le rilevanze geografiche riguardanti il rapporto tra comunità-ambiente-territorio. Essere capaci di utilizzare gli elementi della terminologia e della metodologia specifica della geografia che si rivelano essere utili anche nell’esercizio della professione educativa. Continuare ad attualizzare le conoscenze geografiche al fine di avvalersi delle più recenti chiavi interpretative territoriali, utili alla propria professione educativa.
