Learning is one of the four fundamental forms of human activity.
Perhaps you are already curious: what are the other three? Well… exactly at that moment of curiosity, learning was triggered.
Learning is a natural process — a vital function of our physical, socio-emotional and cognitive development. However, beyond its naturalness, learning has laws, mechanisms and conditions that can be understood, described and even “designed”. Therefore, the path to becoming a teacher is, in essence, the path to becoming a learning engineer. In this course, we invite you to “forget”, for a while, the idea that the teacher teaches and to look at him rather as an architect, a designer of learning experiences.
With this metaphor in mind, we will explore together the universe of human and school learning, discovering how we can design relevant experiences — those that start from students' curiosity, maintain it and transform it into authentic development.
Teaching and learning form a dynamic couple: they are born from each other, shape and influence each other. Just as in Constantin Brâncuși's SĂRUTUL (1907–1908), they intertwine in a continuous dialogue, building a living relationship — the teacher-student dyad. This course invites you to be curious. To identify strategies, methods, tools and resources through which you can create meaningful learning experiences — experiences that touch the mind, but also the heart. We will explore together innovative pedagogies, transformative learning concepts and essential works in the field
Ultimately, our goal is simple and profound: to learn to design pairs — between teaching and learning, between theory and practice, between teacher and student.
