Pedagogy of communion as promising educational approach for the achievement of global competencies.

Abstract

Abstract This paper highlights the results of a theoretical analysis aiming to prove that the key dimensions of Global Competence framework as proposed by OECD in 2016 (knowledge, skills, attitudes and values) are integrated in the so-called Pedagogy of Communion: the educational approach sprouted from the experience of Chiara Lubich and the Focolare Movement (Lubich, 2001). The socio-ontological intelligence theoretical model may represent a valid support to all parties interested in developing the emerging OECD Education 2030 Framework aimed at establishing a common grammar and language, to support the design of curricula fostering the development of global competence. This theoretical reference framework used for the analysis proposed in this paper is an updated version of the Model of Social Intelligence (Gulotta & Boi, 1997; Boi, 2009;), integrated with an ontological perspective (Argiolas, 2014; 2017).
