Abstract

The profile of the educator according to Rosa Agazzi

In this essay we propose to reflect on the profile of the educator that emerges from reading the Guida per le educatrici dell’infanzia by Rosa Agazzi and to do so with an eye on our uncertain present and future. In fact, in rereading some passages of this Guide,  we find some issues that still question us today in relation to that controversial profession of educator so important for our life and yet so scarcely recognized in our society, always at the center of debates - between pedagogical theory, practice, regulatory provisions and widespread opinions - that highlight its problematic nature also with regard to the initial and lifelong training.
