Abstract

The social, cultural, and economic transformation of contemporary society has led to the emergence of new family configurations posing significant challenges and questions to education professionals. The contribution analyzes the concept of “Good Practices” (GPs), clarifying their origin in the economic context and their subsequent adaptation to the educational sphere, highlighting their potential and critical aspects. The paper also emphasizes the importance of a dynamic and strategic approach to new family realities, considering the complexity and uncertainty of the current context. The aim is to provide methodological and operational tools to support education professionals in promoting family and social well-being, through empirically grounded, adaptable, and critically oriented pedagogical practices.
