Special Education and Special Pedagogy in Dialogue with Ecology and Sustainable Development for a Shared Future
Stefania Falchi, Daniele Bullegas, Antioco Luigi Zurru
Special Education and Special Didactics are independent scientific disciplines that have historically been enriched through interdisciplinary dialogue with other fields of knowledge. The present contribution seeks to outline, from an epistemological and methodological perspective, the elements of a possible engagement with Ecology and ecological education through the construct of sustainability, conceived as a space for meaningful parallels and convergences. Drawing on a critical review of the literature and an analysis of educational practices, the study reveals a productive and innovative dialogue that aims to identify further research perspectives for the design of integrated and inclusive educational pathways, oriented toward some of the major global challenges related to social inequalities and the environmental crisis.
