Learning outcomes

Knowledge and understanding 1. To know and understand that education can also be thought of as the result of an "experience of interpretation" of the behavior of the educator by the educator. 2. To know in its various aspects what it means to "interpret"; to know the history of hermeneutics (not just philosophical) and to understand the necessity of its linguistic-conceptual reformulation in pedagogical terms. 3. To understand that the hermeneutical approach to education requires us to think of hermeneutics as an existential dimension of the human person (Gadamer) which is capable of symbolic thinking (Ricoeur). This ability is an integral part of the professional competence of the pedagogic work. Applying knowledge and understanding 1. To possess a level of knowledge of hermeneutics that will adequately contextualize it in the context of its history, with particular reference to the authors and to the modern and contemporary currents that have characterized its evolution, and to know how to apply it in understanding educational contexts in which educators and especially pedagogic work. 2. To know how to "translate" the acquired learning in the ability to understand, interpret, explain and communicate both a specific educational experience, both "texts" and works having an educational value (e.g. books, paintings, images, films, other artistic expressions and literary). 3. Knowing how to interrogate the classics of the history of pedagogy, interpreting its contents in the light of today's educational and / or pedagogical problems, thus integrating knowledge, apparently far from its historical and cultural horizon, into its educational and professional background.
