L’intenzionalità dell’apprendimento rappresenta ancora oggi il costrutto di partenza dal quale poter muovere una riflessione pedagogica in grado di analizzare i contesti educativi formali, non formali e informali. L’università, intesa come accademia formativa, si nutre delle caratterizzazioni proprie dell’educazione formale, dal contesto in cui si realizza l’apprendimento, l’intenzionalità e il grado di pianificazione e progettazione dello stesso, fino a giungere ai processi di certificazione di quanto trasmesso/acquisito. La profonda crisi della sfera educativo-formativa nel tempo dell’oggi, però, impone una più ampia riflessione pedagogica, al fine di poter dar seguito pratico al passaggio da contesto di solo apprendimento a contesto educativo nel suo complesso. Ed è in questa forma che possiamo cogliere tutte le valenze del contesto educativo formale universitario in chiave pedagogico-sociale. Università, quindi, non solo come luogo propriamente formale ma, sulla scorta del dettame di una più moderna pedagogia della scuola, spazio che si fa promotore di benessere e di cura del cittadino del futuro, salvaguardando la dimensione dell’humanitas delle persone e delle relazioni che si generano e danno sostanza alla costruzione identitaria delle stesse. Il presente contributo, sulla scorta di queste brevi premesse, mira ad indagare possibili scenari di ripensamento dei modelli educativi e organizzativi dell’Università a partire dalla centralità della persona, dalla sua cura e dal suo benessere in apprendimento.

Abstract
The intentionality of learning still represents the starting construct from which to move a pedagogical reflection capable of analyzing formal, nonformal and informal educational contexts. The university, understood as a training academy, is nourished by the characterizations proper to formal education, from the context in which learning takes place, the intentionality and the degree of planning and design of it, to the processes of certification of what is transmitted/acquired. The profound crisis of the educational-training sphere in today's time, however, calls for a broader pedagogical reflection to be able to give practical follow-up to the shift from a learning-only context to an educational context. And it is in this form that we can grasp all the valences of the formal university educational context from a pedagogical-social perspective. University, therefore, not only as a properly formal place but, based on the dictate of a more modern pedagogy of schooling, a space that becomes a promoter of well-being and care for the citizen of the future, safeguarding the dimension of the humanitas of people and the relationships that are generated and give substance to their identity construction. This contribution, based on these brief premises, aims to investigate possible scenarios for rethinking the educational and organizational models of the university from the centrality of the person, his or her care and wellbeing in learning.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
