This chapter investigates the possibility and conditions for educating adults to respect, challenging the widespread idea that education is limited to childhood. The author critiques the reduction of education to mere learning, emphasizing instead the relational and situated nature of education, rooted in real and meaningful contexts. Respect is presented as an active, empathic stance—beyond mere tolerance or submissiveness—anchored in the ability to see and recognize others. Drawing on concepts such as situated learning, peer tutoring, and the CHAT framework, the chapter provides both theoretical insight and operational tools to foster respectful behavior within organizations. Ultimately, it promotes a cultural shift toward respectful, inclusive workplaces where learning and education are integrated into daily practices.
Il capitolo esplora le possibilità e le condizioni per educare al rispetto tra adulti, superando la diffusa percezione che l’educazione sia riservata all’infanzia. Dopo aver criticato la riduzione dell’educazione al solo apprendimento (learning), l’autore valorizza l’educazione come processo relazionale e situato, capace di coinvolgere contesti reali e significativi. L’educazione al rispetto è intesa come educazione a “vedere” l’altro: un gesto attivo, empatico, non riducibile a semplice tolleranza o remissività. Il capitolo propone strumenti teorici e operativi – come l’apprendimento situato, il tutoring tra pari e l’analisi CHAT – per promuovere comportamenti rispettosi nei contesti organizzativi. L’obiettivo è contribuire alla trasformazione culturale delle organizzazioni, rendendole ambienti in cui il rispetto possa essere appreso, praticato e generato.

Abstract
This chapter investigates the possibility and conditions for educating adults to respect, challenging the widespread idea that education is limited to childhood. The author critiques the reduction of education to mere learning, emphasizing instead the relational and situated nature of education, rooted in real and meaningful contexts. Respect is presented as an active, empathic stance—beyond mere tolerance or submissiveness—anchored in the ability to see and recognize others. Drawing on concepts such as situated learning, peer tutoring, and the CHAT framework, the chapter provides both theoretical insight and operational tools to foster respectful behavior within organizations. Ultimately, it promotes a cultural shift toward respectful, inclusive workplaces where learning and education are integrated into daily practices.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
