Course Content
The degree involves progressive specialization across three thematic fields:
-
Learning and Teaching (EE): focuses on formal learning (history, functioning and current problems of the education system). A series of modules gradually enhances students’ understanding of school-related issues, stakeholders and professional practices.
-
Educational Action and Training (AEF): focuses on Out-of-School Learning and Training (history, organization, challenges, etc.). This is for students looking to move into Educational Action and Vocational Training professions. This path’s progressive approach offers an in-depth knowledge of the fields concerned and the essential questions associated with them.
-
Socio-Educational Uses of ICT (USETIC): for students looking to move into the digital educational, cultural or social action professions. It involves facilitating access to and the use of digital technology for all types of audiences (children, young people, adults, people with disabilities, the unemployed, older adults, etc.) in different situations (leisure, training, education, health, culture, etc.).
