🔵 🔴 🟡 Course description

The purpose of the course is to introduce students to the concepts of pedagogy and education, so that they are able to define and understand concepts such as pedagogical purpose, goals, needs, lesson design, teaching methods and learning theories. Emphasis is placed on understanding the concept of creativity in teaching, while the aim is to get to know the modern approaches to Arts and Technology in education, through their familiarity with specific applications and examples. The course moves along two main axes: 1. The understanding of basic concepts of pedagogy and teaching, 2. The acquaintance with the concepts of creativity and interdisciplinarity in education. Through this prism, the teaching of digital arts acts as a vehicle for both the development of multiple skills and the understanding of scientific concepts (STEAM approach).

Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:

• Describe the basic concepts of pedagogical science

• Combine the basic elements and techniques of teaching theory and practice

• Compose objectives, learning outcomes and activities to produce educational scenarios

• Organize the micro-teaching stages with an emphasis on digital arts
