PROGRAMMA
The teaching will consist of 3 seminars to be held in March 2017. It is addressed to PhD students of the Science and
Innovative Technology School. Each seminar will tackle an issue related with science teaching, from an educational
and/or epistemological perspective. Students' achievements will be assessed through specific activities.
Each seminar will tackle the following topics:
The relationship between material reality and models in science education and in the experimental practice Teacher: Elena Ghibaudi
Building up scientific knowledge implies an unceasing dialectic between the material world - which is the object of
experimental investigations - and theories and models - that are formal constructions through which the material
world is interpreted. The clarification of the relationships between empirical phenomena and formal systems that
codify them (i.e. models) is a necessary premise to both teaching activity and experimental practice of any scientific
discipline. There is strong evidence that this conceptual step is often overlooked or taken for granted in science
teaching: such lack of attention contributes to make teaching ineffective. In fact, the message addressed to students
is often misinterpreted, due to the lack of conceptual tools suitable for its decoding. This seminar will discuss the
above-cited problems, with a special focus on the related educational aspects.
Science teaching in the world: a comparison between European and American models - Teacher: Giuseppina
Cerrato
Teaching practices, in particular those relative to scientific disciplines, among which Chemistry, proposed in schools
and universities in Europe and the United States follow very different patterns: during the seminar some of the most
common practices at world level will be thus presented, with particular attention to the Italian situation, as well as
with some reference to the pedagogical models to which those practices are connected to.
The assessment of learning and the different steps of the assessment process - Teacher: Floriana Vindigni
The assessment process represents, in the normal practice, the final step in an educational path. However,
addressing the challenge of learning assessment, means having the awareness of the multiplicity of objects and
aspects involved in the process. Docimological research (Docimology: Measurement and Evaluation in teaching) has
shown that the assessment is characterized by ambiguity and unreliability of votes/ratings. During the seminar,
starting from the results of docimological research, which have highlighted the unreliability of the evaluators, the
main tools used in the assessment process (questions, objective tests, structured or semi-structured, etc.) will be
-2-
presented. Particular attention will be paid to the disadvantages of each tool, in order to find strategies that will
eliminate or reduce the unreliability and the ambiguity of the assessment.

PROGRAMMA
The course, starting from an analysis of the photosynthetic process in leaving organisms, aims at providing an
overview of current approaches to the production of energy by harvesting solar light. These approaches are
generally indicated as artificial photosynthesis and have in common water oxidation with production of oxygen,
while the released electrons can be exploited for the production of hydrogen or CO2 reduction. During the course,
the different methodological approaches will be illustrated with emphasis on photocatalytic methods,
photoelectrochemical and photovoltaic approaches.

PROGRAMMA
A scholar's career must include a critical knowledge of the basic instruments for measuring one's scientific
production and its impact. The world of bibliometric indicators is becoming wider and more complicated. The
databases aimed at analyzing the map of citation intersections offer a wide range of possible investigations. In the
run for academic success it is important to know how to preserve one's identity, how to defend against predatory
publishers, how to perceive the threat or the possibility offered by the Open Access movement, how to use the
citation and bibliographic management software which best fits one's needs and preferences.

career depends so much on the ability to get one's papers published.

PROGRAMMA
The course will consist of 4 seminars of 3 hours each (12 hours = 3 CFU). Each seminar will be structured in two parts:
1) an historical introduction of a topic strictly related with the most recent developments in the research area of
molecular science, followed by a brief feedback from the audience; 2) a discussion focused on the epistemic
aspects underlying the research topic, that will be fostered by short explanatory introductions and by questions
proposed by a discussant. The slides and some relevant bibliographic material will be diffused prior to each
seminar.
Each seminar will tackle the following topics:
Title
Issue
Big data, simulations and creativity
Computational chemistry, virtual labs: building new knowledge through
the developments of informatics tools
Nanotechnology, nano-objects,
nanoworlds
A new perspective of investigation: halfway between the macroscopic
and atomic levels
Proteins, genes, informational
molecules: a chemical glance at the
biological universe
The intertwining of chemical and biological knowledge provides final
answers or opens new questions?
Scientific publishing and bibliometry:
tools or weapons?
Does the exploitation of Informatics tools (Bibliographic databases, social
networks, etc.) change the way scientific knowledge is built up, shared
and assessed?

PROGRAMMA
Computer programming skills are now becoming part of basic education. This course, which assumes no prior
knowledge about programming, aims at providing an introduction to the main aspects of scientific programming. In
particular, the high-level Python programming language will be used, which is one of the most popular languages
worldwide (with applications ranging from software, web and internet development, to scientific and numeric
computing, data anlaysis and plotting, game development, etc.), is characterized by a simple and clear syntax, and
is thus particularly well suited for learning scientific programming. The course will cover the following topics:
Introduction to Python:
- Variable types
- Definition and use of functions
- Loops and control flow (for-loops, if-statements)
- Handling input/output files
- Data types: strings, lists, dictionaries
- Writing Python scripts
Introduction to NumPy:
- Introducing arrays
- Numerical operations on arrays
- Polynomials
Introduction to MatPlotLib:
- Simple Plots
- Plot manipulation
Introduction to SciPy:
- Numerical Integration (Trapezoidal rule, Simpson's rule, etc.)
- Optimization and Minimization Algorithms (Least-square fitting, etc.)
- Interpolation (1D, Multivariate data, Spline, etc.)
- Linear Regression
- Fourier transforms
- Linear Algebra (Matrix multiplication, inversion, diagonalization, solving linear systems, etc.)
- Signal processing (remove linear trend from signal)
Students are asked to bring their own laptops to class in order to be actively involved in the practical exercises,
which will systematically take place throughout the course.

PROGRAMMA
The "Energy Principle" in Green Chemistry is 25 year-old and…
We recently celebrated the 25th anniversary[1],[2] of the twelve principles of green chemistry. [3]
This course will address this silver anniversary, discussing in particular the relevance and the changes around the
sixth of the 12 principles: the "energy principle".[4]
In twenty-five years, renewable energies, their production, their distribution and their storage have gained a major
role in shaping how green chemistry addresses the "energy challenge", without phasing out the original question of
how to minimize (fossil) energy consumption. The necessity of a more carbon–sober future becomes acute only
against the menacing backdrop of the environmental climate context.
This course will review some elements of this environmental context while showing research examples on how
disruptive CO2 or N2-based chemistries can, among other routes, facilitate the transition to a carbon-sober future
by harvesting and distributing green electrons3, key intermediaries between renewable energy sources and our
current infrastructures.[5]
