The course intends to address the main constructs of the history of pedagogical thought in order to foster a critical awareness capable of promoting knowledge of the plurality of its manifestations over time, and an awareness of their relativity, their meanings and their links with historical-social contexts.
The analysis of the topics will be carried out through a course that will focus on the fundamental junctures in the history of pedagogical thought, concentrating in particular on the historical dialectic between the philosophy of education and the educational common sense and on the hegemonic conflicts between social groups. 
The course therefore envisages the achievement of specific educational objectives:
- Knowledge of the main educational and scholastic models that characterise different historical periods
- Understanding of the main pedagogical ideas declined in various historical contexts
- Understanding of the relationship between historical social contexts and the transformation of educational practices in relation to changing historical moments and with particular reference to the school institution.
 

The course will address the following points in particular: 
- Problems of the epistemology of history 
- Culture, education and pedagogy in the Greek world
- The Roman world and the advent of Christianity
- Mentality, ethical-political dimension and pedagogical thought in the Middle Ages
- The advent of the modern age 
- The contemporary age

Not planned.
