The course focuses on the creation of pedagogical material and familiarization with the experiential method of teaching mainly through drama techniques in education but also through integrated practical applications of theater (e.g., plays, educational drama, theater-pedagogical programs, etc.). In the context of the experiential approach to new knowledge, emphasis is placed on understanding the potential of theatrical techniques as a learning tool for teaching the cognitive subjects of the school curriculum. Consequently, among the objectives of the course is to introduce students to theater as a pedagogical and artistic process, but also as a teaching method, to bring students into contact with the theory and practice of theater pedagogy and teaching and to create suitable conditions for students to be able to develop scenarios and apply theater-pedagogical methods and techniques in daily teaching practice.
In this course, students deal with the basic elements of multimedia applications (text, image, sound, video, etc.) as well as with the design and development of multimedia educational applications. At the same time, emphasis is placed on the topic of e-books and online educational environments and applications. The applications of Artificial Intelligence are included while digital interactive storytelling is a central type of material that synthesizes several of the rest and connects them to serious games. In addition, the course provides familiarity with the production of digital content on the internet as well as the planning of activities for the use of digital content in learning. Finally, in the context of the course, there is an in-depth investigation into the categories of educational applications of ICT, and with the body of research works concerning the educational utilization of technological applications in education. The purpose of the course is to enable students to: design and implement simple applications, evaluate ready-made ICT applications and integrate ICT into teaching to better achieve educational goals.
The purpose of this course is to investigate the role of educational material in the teaching and learning of mathematics, as well as to highlight the need for designing its integration in the educational process. The study of the different types of materials is sought to determine the characteristics of the educational materials as well as the principles of their design/selection, and evaluation. Also, the special characteristics attributed to the role of educational materials are studied and analyzed from the perspective of different learning theories. Through examples of the use of educational materials, the various dimensions related to their inclusion in the teaching and learning process are highlighted and analyzed. From the study of the current teaching and learning approaches, the principles of design, development and integration of educational materials emerge, which form the basis for the design and production of educational materials.
The course focuses on the design of educational materials through Art. To this end, it examines the relationship between Art and Education and explores the use of art as a form of informal learning aimed at enriching the educational process in diverse school environments, as well as in extracurricular contexts with both general and specialized cultural references.
The course adopts a historical perspective to investigate the relationship between Art, the Museum, and the School, as well as their connections to educational processes and learning communities. Key concepts such as museum education and cultural education through art are examined, with the aim of employing artworks from all periods and genres as pedagogical material. Methodological tools for educational design centered on art are developed, alongside an overview of contemporary pedagogical theories and theories concerning the institution and function of the museum.
Through the presentation and analysis of artworks and museum materials—such as educational kits designed for different age groups and audiences—as well as pedagogical resources produced by institutions and organizations, the course provides practical and theoretical insights. Additional components include guest lectures by artists whose work can be utilized educationally, on-site visits to local museums, and virtual visits to art spaces. The overall objective is for students to acquire a solid understanding of contemporary approaches to the educational use of art, and to develop the ability to design diverse and adaptable pedagogical materials suitable for different educational contexts and levels.
In summary, the course is structured around the following thematic units:
History of Art (movements, styles, chronological development, major artists, and iconic works)
History of the Museum (institutional framework, purposes, contemporary perspectives, types of museums)
The use of Art as pedagogical material across different disciplines—from history to the sciences and mathematics—for various purposes (historical understanding, contextual interpretation, critical and comparative analysis, aesthetic enrichment, fostering inclusion and respect for diversity)
Development of educational materials (museum kits, design, implementation, and evaluation of educational visits, including virtual visits, etc.)
The main dimensions of the content of this course are the following:
