A research initiative on the construction of innovative environments for teaching and learning. Montessori and Munari based psycho pedagogical insights in computers and human behavior for the 'new school'

摘要

Italians children-students live a strong technological gap among different education instances: on the one hand, they are attending schools technologically still to the '80 years; on the other hand, they can rely on hyper-technological domestic-family environments where videogames, smartphones, internet are always available. In the school, all learnings take place under the supervision of the teacher that stimulates, directs and corrects these important steps in the basic training. On the contrary, in the domestic environment the presence of technology is increasingly pervasive. These new technologies cognitively stimulate the children, but they entertain the little ones often alone and without the participation and supervision of an adult audience.
