Ecodidattica. Una proposta di educazione ecologica

Abstract

Starting from the ecological perspective of Gregory Bateson, the article presents a review of the literature on environmental education with particular reference to the notions of eco-literacy, ecological intelligence, and ecopedagogy. Further elaborating on these perspectives which are framed within an educational context, this contribution proposes the construct of ecodidactics as a possible framework for educational experiences inspired by an ecological education. In addition, this new construct could favor the development of ecological intelligence and literacy as well as the acquisition of an ecopedagogical perspective.
