Abstract

ABSTRACT

This paper suggests approaching Psychopedagogy from two axis, one made of different developmental contexts and another one made of the different stages of the life-span. In this way, the key consideration is to understand how educational development in the life-course is intimately tied to different social contexts. For the developing person, this implies confronting the continuities and discontinuities between the contexts and life stages in which she or he participates. From the point of view of professional skills this implies developing two kinds of capacities: (a) to be able to build bridges between contexts and professionals and, (b) promoting a reflexive vision of educational work. Finally, this framework is used to interpret psychopedagogical interventions in four emergent fields: the broadening of schooling, using new technologies of communication, community participation and cultural diversity.
