Introducing Bertolini and his pedagogy as a rigorous science

Abstract

After a brief outline of the profile of Piero Bertolini in the context of the Italian phenomenological thinking in the sphere of education, the A. will focus on two main areas in which Bertolini conceived of phenomenology being applied to education: Phenomenology as an approach for understanding educational experience and on Bertolini’s phenomenological thinking aiming at building the pedagogy as a rigorous science, by conceiving phenomenology as a theoretical framework for a pedagogical epistemology. Finally, some recent developments in Bertolini’s legacy are summarized.
