The pedagogical tradition in the digital society

Abstract

In recent decades, dominated by the virtualization of recreational and social activities, it seems to have been an inversion – or an involution? – between adults and children. The former are spasmodical bound to the myth of eternal youth; the latter are thrown into an incomprehensible reality. The current report endorses an educational proposal in favor of rediscovering the cornerstones of the pedagogical activism: John Dewey and Maria Montessori. Starting from experience and a spontaneous natural evolution, both adults and children reclaim their peculiar roles in order to live reality as protagonists and as wise users of the increasing potency of the digital.
