Reasonable education and fluid teaching: a sustainable didactic model
Simone Digennaro, Filomena D’Aliesio, Antonio Borgogni
Starting from the persistent and structural state of crisis that is affecting the education system – that is, to some extent, different if compared with the past – the paper aims to propose a new way to conceive education. The general idea of education is rigid, dogmatically founded, rationalised, tied up with a certain kind of conservationism and disjointed from the reality. Therefore, teaching practices are inclined to be closed within doctrinal dogma; they become also rigid and less reactive to the constant and unpredictable cultural changes that affect the contemporary contexts of education. The proposed argumentations converge on a way to conceive education that is based on a reasonable approach – not rational – and on a fluid and sustainable didactic. The latter is barely invasive and linked with few educational constants – the pedagogical instinct, the ludic instinct and the sustainability – with the view to develop educational paths that are less artificial and more well-grounded on the reality.
