Paper Abstract:
|
The development of the knowledge society and of active citizenship have posed individuals and institutions face to the need for remediation of roles and methodologies in teaching and learning to allow the individual to become the protagonist and the aware author of his/her lifelong learning (LLL). E-learning, enhanced by social networking tools of web 2.0, supports the collaborative construction of knowledge, success key factor in a networked and distributed environment. Formal and non-formal learning, on one side, and informal learning, on the other, are more and more intersected; in fact, a growing use of informal networks is taking place in professional environments to acquire knowledge and competences. Against this dynamic evolution of learning environments, however, through the European Union (EU) the system of validation of competencies acquired by non-formal and informal learning appears incomplete, fragmentary and inadequate. Starting from the case study of the community of practice (CoP) WEBM.org, this article aims to analyse and discuss the impact of this normative lack about the validation of non-formal and informal learning in Italy. |
