From the "spheres of life" of Pestalozzi to the ecological educational model: rediscover the social educational contexts from the family

Abstract

The contribution reflects on the value attributed by Pestalozzi to the educational context of the family; The family education system moves in the various “spheres of life”and becomes a tool for socio-educational change. Today, in a time of evident educational crisis, Pestalozzi's “social and ethical pedagogy” seems to offer useful ideas for setting up an ecological educational model starting from the family's educational regeneration.
