Learning outcomes
Hermeneutic represents a critical theory about understanding and interpreting literary texts, but the concept of “text” can be wide up to understand also educational practices. For this reason educational research tries to draw near to the territory of the practice - and to the text which are capable of revealing its meaning - through an hermeneutical compass. By the end of the course students will be able to: - know and understand the bases of hermeneutical research on educational practices, - apply the knowledge and the understandings acquired in the analysis of literary works that puts their focus on educational questions; - interpret literary works making personal judgements; - communicate effectively the developed ideas to different people; - reflect on their own learning and on the implications the studied topics may have on the personal and professional growth.
Program
The course will deal with the following topics:
- hermeneutics as a critical theory about the action of understanding and interpreting texts;
- educational and training practice as a text to be interpreted;
- analyzing educational practices as translating and putting the sense in words;
- analyzing educational practices starting from literary texts;

Examination Methods
Examination test procedure
The objective of the final exam is to verify the level of knowledge, understanding and operational application of what has been formulated as specific educational objectives and as "expected learning outcomes".
The exam will normally be oral. If the number of enrolled exceeds a certain number, the exam can continue in oral form the next day, or be done in written form. In this case the written test will last a total of 3 hours and will consist of 5 open questions. Each answer will be awarded 6 points.
During the oral interview the questions will be of the following type:
• questions of a “descriptive” nature, to verify the correct learning of the studied contents and the ability to summarize the most important contents;
• "argumentative" questions, to verify both the ability to explain through which logical steps a reflection, a demonstration or a theory develops;
• questions of "connection" or "comparison" between authors, specific themes, concepts and theories, to verify the reasoning competence;
• "application" or "operational" questions, to verify the ability to think, in concrete and operational terms, of the theoretical contents being studied and to translate them into professional practice.
