Sour Odor From Stomach

Farewell to Democracy and the social sciences

Farewell to the social sciences, sociology, cultural anthropology, the research methodology. most innovative materials taught in the last decade in the Italian high schools disappear with the reform desired by the minister Gelmini, programs of the new School of Humanities referred for now you know the time profile only through the drafts of the new Regulations institution. In any case, the next school year will take effect the new high schools that will erase the trials and the Jug programs, in particular the socio-psycho-educational high school and high school social science, both replaced by a high school science Human within which institutions can activate an option "economic-social".
The current teachers' philosophy, psychology and science education "(class of competition A036) Philosophy no longer teach in these high schools: it is in fact assigned (with history) to the current faculty of Philosophy and History (Class of Competition A037 ).
Currently, the ministry has yet to clarify specifically what are the objectives of the teaching of "Humanities": but even now it is known that the loss of hours for the matter of address will be very high ("Humanities" you teach it for just 12 hours over the five year period), and would the disappearance of the teaching of pedagogy, sociology and psychology as autonomous subjects (although they will be reactivated if "optioned" by students who want to do extra hours compared to the number of hours provided for in 27 for the second year and 30 for three years). Similarly materials are destined to disappear as a "laboratory of social science", taught in the current School of Social Sciences and the copresences (usually philosophy / social sciences and history / law).
Such reforms will therefore seems primarily explained by the need to rationalize spending rather than genuine reasons for education and teaching. But this will result in the loss (and jobs!) A wealth of knowledge which was consolidated over the years, as the numerous sites pertaining to the network of social sciences (such as Steps ).
For more technical and detailed information on the changes that are being introduced is a very useful site of exploring the new School of Humanities : http://liceoscienzeumane.blogspot.com/
