L’estremizzazione acritica dell’utilizzo di device digitali ha recentemente palesato alcuni esiti nefasti sull’età evolutiva e sui giovani adulti, quali la deumanizzazione delle relazioni e la de-materializzazione delle esperienze. Un raffronto fra la tradizione pedagogica montessoriana e le realtà educative attuali mostra un imperituro interesse infantile per le esperienze percettivosensoriali liberamente scelte, che edificano il personale bagaglio di conoscenze e competenze. Questa dimensione sollecita anche la formazione di educatori, educatrici, pedagogisti, pedagogiste e insegnanti che progettano esperienze di apprendimento, a partire dal proprio background culturale, formativo e sociale. Tale è il sostrato motivazionale di una “sperimentazione” metodologicodidattica innovativa, promossa nell’ambito del Dipartimento SFBCT dell’Università di Macerata, che ha inteso offrire ai propri studenti e alle proprie studentesse seminari, laboratori, visite guidate e osservazioni mirate presso l’Istituto Comprensivo Chiaravalle Montessoriano – Casa dei Bambini e la Casa Museo Montessori, in risposta al dichiarato bisogno e desiderio di esperienza “sul campo”, anche di tipo relazionale, nella comunità studentesca e tra studenti, studentesse e docenti.

Abstract
The uncritical exaggeration of digital devices use has recently revealed some negative outcomes on the developmental age and young adults, such as the dehumanisation of relationships and the de-materialisation of experiences. A comparison between the Montessori pedagogical tradition and current educational realities shows an undiminished childlike interest in freely chosen perceptual-sensory experiences. On these basis, children build up their personal knowledge and skills. This dimension also urges the training of educators, pedagogues and teachers who design learning experiences from their own cultural, educational and social backgrounds. An innovative methodological-didactic “experimentation” promoted within the SFBCT Department of the University of Macerata is based on this motivation. The initiative offered some seminars, workshop, guided tours at the Montessori House Museum and targeted qualitative observations at the Children’s House in Chiaravalle. The intent was to address the stated need and desire for direct experience, including relational experience, among students and between students and teachers.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
