Formative Experience, Education and the Challenges for the Construction of a New Ethos.

Abstract

Our objective in this paper is to think about the relationship between the notion of experience as a happening and its links with education as a place for the construction of a new ethos. In order to get the comprehension of the intimate links between experience and education and to express it, we ask for a new “way of telling” in this relationship, therefore, a new langage, in which the value of the word as a place of human experience is resumed. By this reason, we privilege in this game the converstion, the dialogue, the pedagogical “feeling” and the capacity of judging and interpretating, as important aspects for a pedagogical practice identified with poetic imagination and with the meaning of a know-express more than with the meaning of a scientific Know-how, although those knowledges are not considered excludent.
