Narrative imagination and game: enabling factors for new environments learning in schools

Abstract

For over a decade, the contributions of M.C. Nussbaum and A. Sen exhort to an in-depth reading of hardship and marginalization’s situations that involve any sphere of social life. The answer is in the approach to capabilities, in the recognition of learning as the right of every individual. Which contribution is required today to promote new learning styles in educational environment? Which educational and training models are required? And how to translate the capabilities “narrative imagination” and “game” to build educational environments that enhance creativity, empathy, knowledge in the child? This paper intended to provide some interpretation keys (from the inductive method of Pestalozzi, the natural education invoked by Rousseau to the Fröebel’s garden) to rethink the educational services from the perspective of learning communities to the continuous discovery of new experimentations and teaching-educational strategies.
