Knowledge and understanding skills
The teaching aims to develop students' knowledge and understanding skills, such as:
- Knowing and understanding the salient features of the entomological world
- knowing the logic of post-embryonic development and the fundamental morphological characters. - To know and understand the biology and ethology of insects, with particular regard to phytophagous and beneficial insects
Applied knowledge and understanding
Teaching will enable knowledge and understanding to be applied, for example
- Recognize an insect down to family level.
- Apply population control systems according to the ethology of the phytophagous
- Develop manual skills in entomological management at both the nursery and field level
- Identify the logic of agricultural production and develop appropriate entomological pest control systems
Autonomy of judgement
Teaching allows the development of autonomy of judgement at various levels, such as
- Hypothesizing the main phytophagous insects of greenhouses and open fields
- propose the most appropriate control strategies
Communication skills
Participating in lectures and exercises, making independent use of the material provided will facilitate the development and application of communication skills, such as
- provide a sufficient range of practical examples of the application of recognition and control systems
- using appropriate and up-to-date technical agronomic vocabulary.
Learning skills
Participating in the lectures and exercises, making independent use of the material made available will facilitate the consolidation of one's learning skills, enabling one to, for example
- stimulate an autonomous program of continuous knowledge updating.
- autonomously identify ways to acquire information from the experiential knowledge of farmers and nursery managers and the professional knowledge of agronomists
- identify and use the most useful sources of information for personal updating.
