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.

Resilient Teaching Through Times of Crisis and Change (Coursera)

Resilient teaching is the ability to facilitate learning experiences that are designed to be adaptable to fluctuating conditions and disruptions. This teaching ability can be seen as an outcome of a design approach that attends to the relationship between learning goals and activities, and the environments they are situated in. Resilient teaching approaches take into account how a dynamic learning context may require new forms of interactions between teachers, students, content, and tools. Additionally, they necessitate the capacity to rethink the design of learning experiences based on a nuanced understanding of context.
