The research topics pertain to the two main tracks: the historical-pedagogical and the experimental-didactic tracks.
In detail, the first-year research topics, addressed through lectures, workshops, and in-depth seminars, include:
General and Social Pedagogy, covering philosophy of education, family pedagogy, intercultural pedagogy, and adult education.
History of Pedagogy, including the history of schooling, history of education, history of childhood theories, history of children’s imagination, and children’s literature.
Didactics and Special Pedagogy, covering teaching and learning methodologies, inclusive education, special educational needs, educational technology, and e-learning.
Experimental Pedagogy, encompassing theories and strategies for the design and evaluation of educational interventions, educational measurement, and empirical research methodology in education.
The research topics also allow for possible correlations between pedagogical and psychological areas.
