Between education and pedagogy

Giuseppe Bertagna

pp. 135-150

Abstract

Agazzi has been very active in education as teacher, as president of educational institutions, as promoter of educational initiatives and as editor-in-chief of the important pedagogical journal «Nuova Secondaria». He has published some books and many papers on different educational and pedagogical issues, but never a comprehensive work on his pedagogy. This, however, can be easily reconstructed from the study of a great deal of his publications. The present paper outlines certain fundamental parts of this pedagogy, showing how they harmonize with his more general epistemological views regarding the nature of scientific knowledge. It also presents a conception of pedagogy as a science that, although not explicitly advanced by him, is in keeping with Agazzi's epistemology.
