The course aims to introduce students to the history of science and education from antiquity to the 18th century. The subject matter is discussed in a broadly chronological order, with one selected topic in each period being analysed in more detail alongside the general characteristics. Emphasis is placed on general (or European) history, cultural paradigms, institutional developments, methods of knowledge, theoretical concepts, changes in the educational curriculum, discoveries and associated personalities.
The student can define basic concepts such as scholasticism, renaissance, humanism, enlightenment, etc. He/she is able to work with them as historiographical categories and is oriented in the recommended literature. It can name the importance of key figures in European development in the field of science and education and understand the related paradigms of thought.
