Teaching Methodologies for Educational Design. From classroom to community

The scope of methodological knowledge is a fundamental factor in the teaching practice, on which the effectiveness of the teacher's action depends to a large extent. The reflection proposed by the book aims to go beyond the treatment of didactics as a simple description of a set of techniques applicable in the context of practices. The dimension of the analysis suggests the deepening of some themes that characterize the didactic competence, revisited in the depth of its meaning in terms of responsibility, autonomy, and creativity. The arguments proposed, starting from the studies on learning, consider the innovative implica-tions proposed by the research in the educational field. The questions posed by the main classifications of educational architectures and models are addressed concerning methodological approaches, strategies, and techniques. All this suggests a different consideration of the educational environment that can transform the classroom into a real community.
