The module aims to provide students with the foundational pedagogical knowledge necessary to understand and manage the educational relationship within healthcare settings. Specifically, the course aims to:
Introduce key concepts of general pedagogy and andragogy.
Provide conceptual and methodological tools for designing person-centered educational interventions.
Develop the ability to analyze individual motivational processes as a fundamental driver for personal growth and development.
Promote the integration of pedagogical principles with therapeutic patient education and community healthcare.

Methods of frontal teaching and active discussion will be used.
Some scientific evidence (systematic reviews) concerning the topics will be presented in a critical key.

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

Learning assessment is achieved through a single exam covering all course subjects. The test consists of 54 multiple-choice questions, of which only one is correct, and three open-ended questions, structured as case studies in which students will apply their acquired knowledge. The three open-ended questions will focus on one case study from Therapeutic Education, one from Family and Community Nursing, and one from Mental Health Nursing. To evaluate the open-ended questions, instructors have specific grading grids available that take into account the data collected, objectives, interventions, strategies, and the final evaluation of the case study. Correct multiple-choice questions are worth 1 point; open-ended questions can earn a maximum of 10 points per question. A maximum total score of 84 points is awarded. A student passes the test if they obtain 60% of the total score and at least 30% of the individual subjects. Students have 105 minutes to complete the test. The test is administered in person on an online platform.
