Border-crossing in Education comprises a series of case studies covering a variety of cultural areas, in order to reveal the density of connections and exchanges that inform educational practices, policies, and systems. It attaches particular importance to individual and collective actors that govern these flows – initiating, promoting, or reconfiguring transfers of policy models. The contributors explore various aspects of the circulatory mechanisms that have been deployed in the field of education during the modern and contemporary period. Varying the observation scales, from local to international, they demonstrate the multilateral character of the circulatory dynamics observed. The imp...
This book explores the fascinating and complex interactions between the ways that culture and education operate within and across societies. In some cases, education is imagined as an integrated part of general cultural phenomena; in others, educational interventions become the means for transforming the cultural circumstances of different populations. The contributors to this volume show how certain educational practices produce new cultural and professional knowledge; discuss the impacts of initially foreign educational ideas and institutions on established cultural institutions in very different societies; and explore the impacts of modernity and modern educational ideas on more tradition...

a storia delle idee pedagogiche è una lente di comprensione del fatto educativo in grado di assumere una fisionomia più complessa, plurale e dialettica rispetto al passato. Il testo ripercorre i dibattiti italiani del secondo Novecento e la “crisi” della storia della pedagogia tradizionalmente intesa. Le influenze esercitate dalla storia sociale, dalla storia culturale e dalla Intellectual History inducono oggi a un approccio rinnovato: la storia delle idee pedagogiche si presenta come indagine che usa il registro narrativo e interpretativo, che sa tener conto della cultura, della società e dell’ambiente politico di una certa epoca. La volontà di indagare il valore formativo della storia della pedagogia è un’ulteriore tensione che riecheggia lungo tutto il lavoro, intrinsecamente connessa a una precisa idea di “pedagogicità” della disciplina. Si ritiene che essa possa formare tramite delle categorie che promuovono pensiero e azione tanto negli studenti, quanto nei ricercatori e docenti. Il volume si rivolge agli studiosi del settore e agli studenti dei Corsi di Studi magistrali di area pedagogica.
