Good practices in education
Maria-Chiara Michelini
The contribution analyzes the construct of Good Practices, used for some time also in educational contexts. It develops a critical analysis of the concept that identifies them in a technical sense, as procedures that proved effective for solving problems or, in any case, in view of desired results, and, therefore, to be repeated in a standardized and rigid form. It also proposes an interactive, holistic and participatory conception. In this sense, it analyzes some examples centered on the cultural autonomy of the operators, on the enhancement of the knowledge that emanates from practice, in constant tension with the theoretical and ethical dimension of action. It proposes, in short, some characteristics (generativity, dynamism, complexity, exemplarity) that make BP an instrument to be positively valued also in educational contexts.
