Sul paradigma della competenza in educazione. La prospettiva di Philippe Perrenoud

Abstract

This essay develops some reflections about the concept of competence, that for many years seems to have been redefining education and its cultural identity. Within a culture of learning objectives, school education oscillates between the pre-eminence of knowledge and the primacy of competence, permeating the school curriculum and redetermining the logical structure of educational planning. In an attempt to identify interesting clues to address the issues raised by this question, the focus is on Perrenoud’s research.
