Evaluation Methodology:
The methodology for this course calls for a theoretical and practical activity, which includes moments of action (research, construction) and moments of reflection and debate. In the first part the relations and tensions between the factory­shaped school and the New Education Movement are analyzed, through projection of slides, text readings and group and plenary discussions. Following, some of the main authors of the New Education Mouvement and a selection of others are studied aiming at understanding and reconstructing a set of theoretical references about the trends of contemporary education and their application in practice. The evaluation follows Model E of the Student Learning Assessment Regulations of the University of Madeira: a written essay on an author or pedagogical current, with the format of a scientific article, that each student has to present previously in seminary, according to a logic of information sharing.
