Assessment methods and Criteria
The exam consists in an oral test which includes the verification of the key concepts of biogeosciences for teaching and the discussion of a report relating to a lesson/laboratory activity proposed for a secondary school, referring to the concepts of didactics of Earth Sciences and the concepts of didactics of Biosciences.
The knowledge under evaluation will concern: the key concepts of Biogeosciences for teaching, the teaching and learning processes mediated by the use of new technologies, the ability to use the teaching methodologies and technologies proposed during the course and the ability to organize a lesson calibrated for the chosen school and the ability to relate the topics discussed with the current society.
