Abstract

Establishing the professional register of educators and pedagogists makes the reflections on the ways in which educational practictioners integrate their skills within the services necessary. This article addresses the two theoretical frameworks that orientate the relationship between the game and the education in the educational practice. The first framework concerns the studies that coinceive the game as a practice free from the exploitation of pedagogy and suggest not considering gaming as an educational tool. The second one is based on some fundamental features of the game that qualify it as a formative practice in itself and, therefore, as a field of interest in pedagogy and education. The professions that in the Italian context have been inspired by the two lines of thought will be briefly analyzed. We will also try to find a mediation between them. According to the author of the article, the solution lies in the full recognition of the two professions and in the promotion of collaborative forms and co-design within professional practice.
