Generatività e responsabilità: educare alla cura tra le generazioni

Abstract

An empirical survey of educational emergencies of our time shows us an evident crisis of generativity (biological, parental and social). Through a phenomenological research method, the paper aims to highlight how some emergencies contemporary education require that the pedagogical research promotes new training paths. This training can help adults, especially parents, to become more aware of educational care they are called to respond to, not only towards their own children, but also towards the new generations. In this study, the concept of generativity helps us to place the intergenerational legacy at the center of educational care.
