The graduates have specialized knowledge and all necessary assets in order to effectively handle theoretically and practically the teaching of Modern Greek in every educational level (in the Kindergarten, in the Elementary School, in the Lower Secondary School, and in the Upper Secondary School, as well as in Tertiary Education) both of as a first language and as a second / foreign language In addition, they will hold knowledge on an interdisciplinary background that provides a basis for the application of semiotic ideas and research approaches - methods, in a wide spectrum of scientific branches and areas. With regard to the direction of Bilingual Special Education, they show critical understanding of the principles, theories, methodologies, and practices of special training and education (STE), as well as its interconnection with other cognitive fields (applications in the field of psychology, of the special physical training, of IT, etc.). Finally, they will hold an increased critical understanding of the evolutionary dynamics and of the latest issues of all cognitive fields of concern for the postgraduate studies programme.
They apply with ease the theories and methodologies of didactics for Modern Greek, for special training and education, and for semiotics and communication. They conduct original research, by using the methodological analysis tools already acquired. They develop innovative solutions in composite, interdisciplinary and innovative issues related to STE, the didactics of Modern Greek, and semiotics and communication. In this way, they acquire the possibility of evaluating and interpreting modern scientific theories and the relevant interdisciplinary studies of the respective cognitive fields offered to the postgraduate studies programme. They create and reconstruct with a scientifically documented way solutions to issues of concern, after taking into consideration social, semiotic, educational, psychological, and linguistic factors and theories. They reach to conclusions, assess and compare different scientific positions and arguments using critical thinking and reflective reasoning. Therefore, having developed the necessary autonomy of knowledge and competences, they acquire the ability of evaluating and critically analysing multiple scientific theories.
They resolve problems by applying inductive reasoning to the cognitive subjects of didactics, education, semiotics, and communication, while defining their research plans within an interdisciplinary framework. They undertake education and training within the context of an education and communication policy.
