Introduzione al Debate (POK)

Cos’è il Debate e come praticarlo al meglio in classe? Quali sono le sue regole? Come valutarlo? In questo corso potrai trovare non solo valide risposte a questi interrogativi, ma anche pratiche raccomandazioni e suggerimenti da parte di docenti esperti.

Come metodologia didattica innovativa, il Debate è oggetto di crescente interesse da parte non solo di istituzioni educative, enti di ricerca, docenti, ma anche di agenzie di formazione manageriale e orientate al potenziamento delle competenze maggiormente richieste dal mondo lavorativo. Autorevoli ricerche empiriche hanno dimostrato l’efficacia della pratica costante del Debate nel perfezionare le capacità di pensiero critico e creativo, di comunicazione, di collaborazione e, non da ultimo, di decision-making.

Inoltre, poiché guida ad un confronto civile nel rispetto di alcune fondamentali regole di discussione, e poiché, spesso, spinge ad affrontare policies controverse o questioni di etica applicata, il Debate è considerato un metodo ottimale per educare i giovani alla cittadinanza democratica, in una prospettiva di apertura culturale che si può assaporare partecipando ad uno dei numerosi tornei internazionali in Asia, Europa e America.
Infine, il Debate risulta estremamente coinvolgente, perché mette al centro lo studente e ne stimola le abilità di pensiero, di ricerca scrupolosa di informazioni affidabili, di comunicazione e di collaborazione all’interno del team.
Sebbene il Debate venga considerato un’«avanguardia educativa», i progenitori del dibattito regolamentato - il dialogo dialettico, la disputatio, la dissertazione - hanno contrassegnato le modalità principali attraverso cui la civiltà occidentale dall’antichità classica alla tarda modernità, non solo nelle Accademie e nelle Università, ha trasmesso conoscenze disciplinari, condotto prove d’esame, divulgato il sapere e, soprattutto, svolto ricerca, sia in filosofia, teologia e diritto sia nelle scienze naturali e mediche.
Questo corso ti aiuterà a sviluppare le competenze necessarie per introdurre come docente il Debate in classe. Verranno affrontati tutti gli elementi fondamentali della metodologia: dalle regole a come elaborare e affrontare un tema controverso; da come costruire le proprie argomentazioni, a come ricercare informazioni affidabili e pertinenti, a come replicare e confutare le tesi della controparte. Inoltre, troverai anche utili suggerimenti per la valutazione del debate e per l’organizzazione di attività di dibattito, inclusi i tornei, nella tua scuola. Riceverai, infine, consigli di esperti sul coaching e sulla gestione della squadra.

To Flip Or Not To Flip - Discover the flipped classroom methodology (POK)

To flip or not to flip? That is the question! Let’s walk together this path: how does flipped learning works? How to adopt this approach in teaching day life? What is flipped learning? According to the Flipped Learning Network, it is a “pedagogical approach in which direct instruction moves from the group learning space to the individual learning space, and the resulting group space is transformed into a dynamic, interactive learning environment where the educator guides students as they apply concepts and engage creatively in the subject matter.”
