Class History of Education

The UC is structured in the search for contributions and relationships between history, education and the practice of socio-educational intervention of educators. It is intended to create a space for reflection/training in the field of history of education, its continuities and discontinuities, in different chronological times and contexts, with emphasis on Contemporary Portugal. It also allows to raise awareness of the relevance and meaning of the history of education for the challenges of the 21st century, under the political, social, economic, cultural and educational aspects, in the Portuguese and global context. It is expected that the activities will contribute to the acquisition of knowledge, skills and attitudes conducive to critical reflection, creative search for solutions and good practices of educators, in respect for principles of ethics and deontology.

The methodology aims at the investigation, reflection, and participation of students in activities, individually and in groups, with moments of exposure, questioning, and debate, complemented by autonomous work to deepen the content. Classes are of theoretical and theoretical-practical nature, with the use of resources (digital, iconographic sources, press, pedagogical materials, etc.), stimulating a reflective academic practice. Learning evaluation is continuous and formative, obeying the defined reference framework and the evidence collected during and at the end of the course, according to the student's level of achievement and the proposed goals. It focuses on learning processes and results, resulting from student participation and contributions, individual and group presentations, written and oral, of thematic works, using complementary research, and the final presentation, written and oral, of an individual synthesis work, built during the semester.
