Need of a pedagogical and didactic model to work the local cultural heritage

Abstract

We need new pedagogical and didactic models; in order for teachers to act on this, we must also design a framework that will lead us to heritage education. There fore, this article has two aims. First, to examine the values that link heritage and education and then second, to identify and characterise keys for design (genealogy, teacher, student, context and content). In fact, we have found the modern educational system to be in crisis in recent times. Weare in need of new pedagogical paradigms in which the involvement of family, school, and the entire community is essential, and in which this involvement is maintained without abandoning the transmission of knowledge. This means ensuring that educators will be responsible for facilitating and promoting meaningful studies on our socio-cultural environment; that is, studies that include the natural and cultural heritage that forms a part of the identity of both students and teachers.
