Course contents

The course aims to study from a theoretical and practical point of view the methodologies and fields of comparative education with a look at the concrete analysis of the mains theories and history of adult and lifelong education. Starting from the very foundations of comparative education, models of adult and continuing education will be studied in a comparative perspective. Professional cultures and human resource management will also be covered.

The first part of the course will also be dedicated to the study of adult education, considered in the course of its historical development up to the recent educational perspectives. In addition, a number of significant figures will be examined (specifically Maria Montessori, Albert Mansbridge, Eduard C. Lindeman, Adriano Olivetti, Bruno Ciari and Alberto Manzi), who from various points of view contributed to outline the theoretical background and operational lines of lifelong and adult education between the 19th and 20th centuries.

The second part will deal with the theories of comparative education in the international context; the conception of continuing education of John Dewey and other important theories of lifelong education and adults such as Sheperd-Knowles, Schwartz, Freire, Ilich, Mezirow. Ukraine’s school system (1991-2022) will be analysed due to the recent focus on the conflict. The characteristics of education and continuing training policies in the vocational field will also be discussed.

Assessment methods

Written examination consisting of two parts. The final result/note note will be  the average of the 2 examinations passed with Prof. Rossella Raimondo (Module 1) and Dorena Caroli (module 2). The latter will carry out the final verbalization. Students in examination debt will be able to choose whether to prepare about the program of prof. Corrado Ziglio or on this new program divided into two parts.

Attention: The course will begin with module 1 (24 hours) held by prof. Rossella Raimondo and will continue, at the same schedule, with Module 2 (24 hours) held by Prof. Dorena Caroli.

To pass the exam, it is necessary to register via the electronic bulletin board (AlmaEsami), in compliance with the deadlines set. Those who fail to register due to technical problems by the scheduled date, are required to communicate (and in any case before the official closing of the registration lists) the problem to the didactic secretariat.

It will be the faculty of the teacher to admit them to take the test. The evaluation will take into account the following indicators: 1. knowledge of the contents of the discipline and in particular of the authors and of the educational problem they face; 2. ability to analyze a text and to elaborate the single parts in a concise and exhaustive way 3. reworking and personal critical reflection and clear exposition of the concepts of the discipline 4. reflections and insights elaborated in the classroom. The final grade will be in thirtieths. Verification of learning and knowledge acquisition takes place through 2 written examinations lasting  120 minutes (60 minutes for each part). It consists of 2 open-ended questions.

The objective of the exam is to ascertain the skills of analysis and understanding of the contents of the discipline, evaluating the ability to display, re-elaborate and conceptualize the contents learned. Particularly evaluated will be the student's ability to know how to orient himself within the sources and bibliographic material in order to identify them useful information that allows him to illustrate the aspects and cultural areas of the discipline.
