Che cosa si intende quando si dice “comunità” in pedagogia?

Livia Romano's book, Community, published in 2023, provides a valuable overview of the uses of the word “community” in education. This paper aims to analyse the polysemy of the term, as underlined by Romano's book, emphasizing the significance and implications of an extensional definition of the concept. The term “community” is widely used in the field of human and social sciences, but it is also structurally ambiguous. This term has been a recurring concept in education, shaping reflection and educational practices throughout the 20th century. Different educational contexts use the term to indicate different practices, and it seems that there are distinct conceptions of what a community is. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
