Recent research:
The research conducted explores the intersection of pedagogical innovation, youth development, and the cultural foundations of literature. A central focus is placed on the Preventive System as a pedagogical framework, examining how oratories and educational spaces serve as vital environments for guiding youth toward their life purpose and fostering resilience in vulnerable populations. This work emphasizes the importance of life skills and purpose-guided education within the Salesian tradition.

Furthermore, the research investigates the evolution and criteria of children's literature, tracing its origins back to oral traditions. By analyzing how tales, legends, and oral narration function as mechanisms for cultural transmission, the study highlights the enduring role of storytelling in shaping the imagination across generations. Complementing these theoretical and social perspectives, the research also addresses the practical implementation of digital pedagogy. Through quantitative evaluation, the impact of technology-enhanced learning tools, such as eXeLearning, is assessed in secondary education. The findings demonstrate that integrating digital resources into teacher training significantly enhances the creation of interactive, high-quality educational content, thereby bridging the gap between traditional pedagogical values and the demands of a digitized society.
