The role of the socio-pedagogical professional educator in residential communities for minors. What are the methodological guidelines?

Abstract

The approval of law 205/2017 has legally recognized the professional educational figures
of the socio-pedagogical professional educator and the pedagogist, as well as the
educational contexts in which they operate. However, the legislation still leaves open the
field of pedagogical research into the specific methodologies of intervention that must
characterize the various contexts.
In this essay, I intend to highlight some directions to guide educators in educational
practice in residential communities for minors.
