Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to leave the platitude of education as a package of practical suggestions describing how to lead people and how to transmit knowledge. Education will be dealt with as an activity that forms man?s relationship with themselves, with community and with the world. It deals with education in its ontic, social and ontological dimension. Education is contrasted with the crisis of authority, of culture and of values
The students will acknowledge themselves with the informations acording to the goal and the matter of the course.
