Finnish teachers as civic educators : From vision to action
2020
In this article, we examine Finnish class teachers as citizenship educators. Over the last ten years, the autonomous position of the Finnish teacher has become a symbol of the world-famous education system, and this study aims to illustrate how this freedom comes true in the framework of teacher as a citizenship educator. A prior study shows that teachers mostly share the same universal values, emphasizing altruism rather than individualism. Socially, teachers are more focused on maintaining the status quo and continuity of society than changing it radically. This article aims to answer the question how teachers define their role between society and individual learners and how they prioriti…

Il contributo prende in esame gli esiti prodotti a lunga distanza dai modelli urbanistici adottati in Italia nel secondo dopoguerra, caratterizzati da dinamiche espansive e dotazioni di servizi pubblici dimensionati in base agli standard. Gli effetti della contrazione demografia su tali modelli insediativi, che dispiegano oggi una serie di problematiche che conducono alla necessità di una riorganizzazione spaziale, vengono osservati su un campione particolarmente significativo al riguardo rappresentato dalle città ricostruite ex-novo nel secondo Novecento a seguito di movimenti tellurici. Il caso in esame riguarda il terremoto della Valle del Belice del 1968 e descrive come le nuove città, …
Nouvelle rhétorique et formation du citoyen : perspectives sur l’enseignement du discours à partir d’une université d’été
2023
Il est maintenant clairement établi que le modèle rhétorique fournit une réponse pertinente aux questionnements sur les méthodes et sur les contenus d’une formation à la citoyenneté en démocratie. En Europe toutefois, ce modèle rencontre encore des difficultés pour être reconnu comme une formation au discours légitime. À partir de l’expérience d’une université d’été intitulée « Citoyenneté européenne et argumentation rhétorique : le cas du changement climatique », nous répondons aux principales critiques adressées au modèle rhétorique et montrons comment il peut être utilisé, aujourd’hui, pour développer l’esprit critique et les compétences citoyennes. Even though it is now clearly establis…
