At the end of the module students will be able to:
- know and apply the fundamental concepts relating to teaching in adulthood
- recognize the need for training
- write a training objective
- plan health/therapeutic education courses
- know technologies suitable for the dissemination of educational projects
- connect the teaching methodologies suitable for achieving the objective
- evaluate learning in the short term and identify indicators of learning in the long term

Students with physical disabilities, Learning Disabilities or Special Education Needs can request
specific services and tools via the Staff Sviluppo e Coordinamento Carriere e Servizi alle Studentesse
e agli Studenti, consulting the University webpage: https://www.uniupo.it/en/services/servicesstudents-physical-or-learning-disabilities
Students with disabilities, learning disabilities or special education needs, once they have contacted
the University Staff, can refer to the tutor in charge of the course to define the examination
modalities, concerning academic aspects.

The final learning test concerns the following teaching activities:
a) Training planning in the healthcare sector
b) Didactics and applied pedagogy
c) Experimental pedagogy
d) Health information systems

Students accesses the evaluation only if they have complied with the mandate of drafting a Project in the training field for Experimental Pedagogy, Didactics and Applied Pedagogy and Training planning and processing of specific data in the training field for Information Systems
healthcare.
The mandate is made available on the DIR platform, in the specific section of the course and is accompanied by an ad hoc evaluation form.
The teachers will evaluate the mandate described above with:
0 points if not delivered or inadequate
1 point if sufficient
3 points if good

The scores obtained will be added to the evaluation obtained with the test described below.
The integrated evaluation of the Course includes a written exam composed as follows:
1 open question and 6 closed questions for each teaching credit awarded for a) b) c) and 36 closed questions for d).
The evaluation will take place on the moodle platform and will focus on the main contents provided during the Course.
Students will have 1 minute of time for each closed question and 5 for each open question.
Sufficiency is achieved by correctly answering 60% of the questions proposed by each discipline.

Detection of the training need of the problem and analysis of the context in which the need is detected
- Review of the literature available on the topic
Description of the project
- Definition of the general objective and specific objectives
- Project promoters and stakeholders
Identification of project beneficiaries and methods of identifying them, with justification of any entry prerequisites
- Description of the skills that will be acquired
- Elements of methodological and/or organizational innovation
- Elements of connection with company objectives and strategies
- Training actions and motivation thereof

Summary and focus on objectives and expected results

At the end of the course students will have developed a training/educational project.
The project underlies the "learning by doing" methodology, since, following the theoretical learning period, the experience will allow the implementation of health education/therapeutic education projects relating to real health problems of the population of all age groups in the area national and in reference to real contexts.
The starting point of the paper is the identification and measurement of the training needs identified within a population, while the arrival point is the drafting of a training/educational project.
