ACUNA, COLLADO VIOLETA ROSA. "Gli studenti del sistema educazione degli adulti in Cile: uno studio nella regione di Valparaiso." Doctoral thesis, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, 2011. http://hdl.handle.net/10280/1002.
Full textThe purpose of this research is to know users of adult education in Chile, because they left their studies and taken up today, as well as current perception of the school system. The survey technique was used in the study and a random sample of 597 youth and 61 teachers from 24 schools in the Region of Valparaíso. The studied topics of students were: return to the school system, teaching used by teachers and drop out of school. The teacher topics were: satisfaction of working in adult schools, students view and perception of their own teaching. Results indicated that students admit to having left the formal system mostly due to lack of motivation and educational reasons. In addition they have a good perception of the treatment of teachers and characteristics of the adult education system. On the other hand, teachers believe that specialization in this area have been acquired through experience and feel satisfied in their work. About their students, teachers emphasize their lack of motivation, failure to attend classes and persistence in their studies.

Y. 2014-2015 The complexity , uncertainty and transformations of contemporary society affect the lives of each of us for the entire lifetime (throughout the life-span). The adult in particular is obliged to deal with transitions and if possible to anticipate them, process them and redesign them. So it is important that the adult is able to understand the interconnections and interdependencies, in the reading of become transnational problems by the time, able to acquire the categories of transformation , risk, participation and “responsibility” (Hans Jonas) for the construction of a "nomadic and migrant thinking" (Franca Pinto Minerva) and of a " plural thinking " (Isabella Loiodice). The University, as a place of learning and critical processing of knowledge, is appointed to help achieve these aims and is an ideal setting to continue learning directing its activities to a project of integral formation of the person. Through the thesis Scenarios for adult education in a European perspective : the role of the University for a project of integral formation I have investigated as the University, in the formal system of lifelong learning, has responded to the needs and the demand expressed by adults; what policies and organizational and curricular devices were activated and can take steps to increase the participation and equal access to the activities of education and training. The activities of exploration, statistical overview and qualitative description and interpretation of the results and reading of practices have served to bring key factors into focus, positive points and existing problems, to draw some proposals and identify additional project lines of research.
PETRAGLIA, FEDERICA. "Le comunità di pratica come metodologia per l'educazione degli adulti." Doctoral thesis, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, 2007. http://hdl.handle.net/10280/150.
Full textThe theoretical and empirical reflections about communities of practice constitute fundamental elements to support the idea that education is a natural process throughout life of human beings. The main theoretical position is characterized by the assumption that knowledge is created through discussion and dialogue with others, and that knowing is a social and situated phenomenon. Communities of practice become centres where processes of sharing experiences and creating knowledge take place. Consequences of the participation to the community are both the creation of a common repertoire of experiences and the possibility for the single to acquire new competencies, as well as to discuss his¬/her story and relationships. The typical way of building relationships inside communities of practice makes explicit the shift from a conflictual typology of working to a consensual one. This dissertation aims to make a synthesis of literature on communities of practice, starting from their first theorization by J. Lave and E. Wenger up to most recent studies. Thanks to its own features, communities of practice show a high educative potential: In fact, through an analysis of them from the pedagogical point of view, communities' of practice peculiarities allow to the adult education researcher to support educational training.

Full textThe research activity concerning Community education in the strategies of Lifelong learning for adults. Learning communities of place is addressed to analyze models of community education and learning community and to describe educational and learning processes as they come to be in local contexts and, specifically, in the communities. It is assumed, in fact, that in communities the dimension of proximity (physical and relational) as far as it bridges the individual, the group, and general society makes local environments the favorable place for both facing disorientation, emigration, and social exclusion phenomena and the implementation of education policies for reviving the desire of learning in adults. The objective of the research is to evaluate the hypothesis according to which there is a positive relationship between community education and adults engagement in lifelong learning activities. The research develops into three phases. During the first phase we try to improve on the analysis of the historical and theoretical origins of community education. Then, we shall explore the theoretical and epistemological dimension of learning community and, as they are tightly linked, the social nature of learning processes. Finally, we shall employ the comparison between models of learning city and those of comprehensive community initiatives in order to formulate some considerations on the possibility of adapting and/or transferring Anglo-Saxon models of learning community of place into Italian contexts.
POZZO, MATILDE MAIA. "Nella zona grigia delle nuove povertà. Una ricerca pedagogica sulle storie di formazione nei processi di impoverimento." Doctoral thesis, Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca, 2020. http://hdl.handle.net/10281/262889.
Full textEconomic, social and cultural transformations of these times have produced ambivalent results while giving rise to a newfound and widespread form of distress where economic, social and relational fragility and urban suffering intertwine (Saraceno, 2010): this grey area of distress (Iori and Rampazi, 2008; Tramma, 2015) does not exceed standard thresholds of overt malaise that would place it within the traditional boundaries regarding severe marginality and exclusion – areas often touched upon by educational services and policies. The elements that contributed to the spread of social vulnerability (Ranci, 2002) – including the precariousness of living and working conditions, the weakening of the systems in place offering social protection and the erosion of the social fabric – have played a role in altering some traits of contemporary poverty: the concept of new poverty aims to account for new elements of a population dealing with uncertain borders, grey poverty (Dovis and Saraceno, 2011), meaning that those who were not previously considered at risk of poverty are now implicated: a risk related to events increasingly frequent and increasingly linked to those paths of life seen as “normal”. The pedagogical research on the educational implications of impoverishment processes focuses, through biographical methods (Merril & West, 2012), on the life stories and educational biographies of fifteen men and women who have recently become impoverished. The theoretical framework concerning social pedagogy (Tramma, 2010) has directed the exploration of these biographical trajectories in and around both formal and informal educational dimensions: these contribute to falling into fragile situations, but also preventing and/or reducing their eventual impact. The pedagogical analysis focuses on the vulnerability areas around which life’s critical aspects are concentrated, and on the representations and meanings through which impoverished people live and rework their own story and condition, highlighting the key role of a contemporary educational climate. Such an educational climate promotes increasingly individualised and notably hyper-responsible representations of one’s own life and impoverishment, while at the same time hindering the critical understanding of one’s life path, losing focus on the dynamics of the present – something indispensable to promote with the subjects changes for the improvement of individual and collective living conditions. The transformative tension (Baldacci, 2001) as part of this pedagogical research aims to contribute to the pedagogical reflection on new poverty in order to identify theoretical and methodological orientations for educational actions able to promote fresh paths for subjects, both in terms of preventive interventions with people at risk of poverty, and in terms of paths out of poverty.

Full textThe study inquires the possible contributions of the tightrope walker’s psychophysical training to the formation path of the educator. The tightrope walker’s psychophysical training is a practice that allows the experimentation of balance in precarious conditions (Petit, 2014) and the educator needs postural balance in order to exercise his practice (Gamelli, 2015). The literature shows two main issues: on one hand we find the need to rehabilitate the body in educational contexts as a mean to balance the body and the mind of the educator (Cunti, 2015) in a field where the intellectual sphere still has a predominance over sensorial and Embodied experiences. On the other hand, despite the increasing number of studies that recognise the inherent educational component of the circus arts (Beauthier, Dubois & Lemenu, 2016) we find that there is a missing analysis on the pedagogic contributions that tightrope walking discipline can bring to the educational training of educators. Because of these preconditions, this qualitative research is interested in observing the process to the educators' path as a psychophysical training (Massa, 2001) that can discipline one’s body and mental posture. This research decided to explore this process through tightrope walking because it is a performing art that can bring the artist to a new quality of presence through the mastery of the body-mind setting (Antonacci, 2012c). The study considers the connection between Embodied education, performing arts and the phenomenological philosophy of the research. This gives to the posture of the researcher (Mortari, 2007) a fundamental role in the process of understanding the inquiry. Moreover, this study sees in the phenomenological and hermeneutic method (van Manen, 1990) a possible way to give meaning and interpret the inquired subject and the data gathered. Such methodology has allowed the researcher to both observe the experience, a psychophysical training, and to acknowledge the words, the experiences and symbolic representations of the participants, among whom the researcher herself was included. The use of the multiple case study strategy (Yin, 2005) has proven to be useful as it allowed to analyze two peculiar contexts. The first at the National Circus School in Montréal, a world excellence institute for training circus performers, by documenting a tightrope walking training for two students. The second one with the tightrope walker Loreni, the only Italian performer to walk at high heights on steel rope, by documenting three different workshops for future educators where he conducted a tightrope training at Milano-Bicocca University. The researcher also practiced and trained with Loreni in Dojo Hokuzioko, Torino. Additionally to ethnographic observation and interviews, this inquiry uses iconic and poetic language as a mean to gather data in order to explore the participants' symbolic representations linked to the images of balance and of the tightrope (Cahnmann-Taylor & Siegesmund, 2008), and it considered all of the gathered material as text to interpret. Coherently with the chosen methodology, the researcher found the phenomenological-hermeneutic method to be a perspective to use to analyse the emerging themes, called Parole Maestre (Petit, 2014), that are the essences of the phenomenological tradition and that can be identified as central semantic directions regarding the educator’s posture and that can be also found in the scientific literature. Lastly, during the interpretation and understanding of the gathered data, the researcher decided to extract theoretical considerations and operative tools with the intent of bringing her contribution to the research of the educators' training path through the exercise of an educative concentrated posture, rooted to the ground and expanding concurrently high and towards the other.

Full textRationale. The metaphor is defined as «an expression which describes a person or an object, by referring to something that is supposed to have similar characteristics» (Cambridge Academic Content Dictionary, s.v. “Metaphor,” 2017). Since the 90s, metaphors were studied in General Practice (GP), as strategies that impact on the quality of healthcare (Mabeck & Olesen, 1997). In Palliative and Primary Care, metaphors are used to educate students and patients, and to ameliorate clinical and organizational issues (Rodriguez & Bélanger, 2014). Research explored more metaphors expressed by patients, than those of clinicians. There is no research on the reflection and meta-reflection of clinicians about their deliberate use of metaphors in clinical encounters. The state of the art provides a dualism on metaphors, as useful or dangerous tools. Methodology. The research question “what is the representation of metaphor provided by professionals who work in a GP group, on the use of metaphors?” arose from a gap in the literature. The Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA)(Smith et al., 2009) was selected as methodology, because it suggests a preliminary bibliographic search, differently from the pure phenomenological approach (Giorgi,1985). The design is qualitative, with an idiographic focus (Mantovani, 1998). The research aims to understand the representations of physicians, nurses, and administrative assistants in a GP group, which is a situation where it is possible to share contexts and therapeutic goals. Sample. We hypothesized that a group was more opened to talk about these issues than a context in which a physician works alone. We recruited a group of 15 participants (10 physicians, 3 administrative assistants, 2 nurses) (10 females, 5 males) with a purposeful sampling. Tools. We conducted 15 semistructured interviews on the use of metaphors by participants and patients, and on the use of metaphors in their professional education. After a month, we conducted 15 indepth interviews (Sità, 2012), to saturate data. Analysis. The IPA requires a careful read of the interviews, the selection and the organization of the contents into categories. A set of generalizations is created to saturate data, by respecting the differences among participants. A theoretical construct is formulated according to the literature. The results report follows the case study strategy (Mortari & Zannini, 2017). Results. The representation of metaphors changes, if these expressions are used by clinicians or by patients, in clinical and educative contexts, and differs for each participant. Strengths and limitations are provided on the clinical use of metaphors. Sometimes, metaphors are used unconsciously by participants, to express some concepts, to talk about patient education, the effects of clinical language, or their professional identity. Conclusion. The hypothesis on the sample is verified. To overcome the dualism in the literature, this study suggests that a metaphor is an epistemological, a relational, and an ontological phenomenon. Therefore, specific curricula could be designed to enhance awareness on this issue, to help students/professionals to reflect on metaphoric language as a communicative strategy in clinical encounters, that also impact on patient education.

Full textThe aim of this research is to make a connection between art and lifelong learning. The first goal of the study was to underline the specific features of adult's learning to identify which should be considered as crucial in the artistic heritage pedagogy. The second goal was to study an approach to the artwork that fitted the requirements of adult's learning. The first chapter is dedicated to consider: 1. the essential characteristics of adult's learning to be considered in the process of planning activities and 2. the most widespread pedagogic theories in American museums, and how they influence European works. The second chapter tries to describe an alternative to the constructivistic model of the museum, focusing on the concept of person that arise from the realistic philosophy. The third chapter is formed by two parts: in the first it is described a period of participant observation at the Guggenheim Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art of New York. During that period, I identified an activity that formed the methodological basis for the practical activity I realized at the Museo dell'Ottocento of Milan. This activity is described in the second part of the chapter. The results of the groundwork confirmed the high quality of the methodology and encourage further studies.

Full text1. Introduzione Il delicato equilibrio sul quale la persona tenta in età giovanile di poggiare la propria costruzione identitaria può venire in alcuni casi alterato da una malattia o da una condizione di cronicità quale il trapianto. Proprio in questa età, il paziente si trova inoltre coinvolto in un delicato processo di transizione dal servizio pediatrico al servizio di cura per adulti. La cornice teorica all'interno della quale si muove il presente progetto si riferisce a forme di educazione alla salute che privilegiano un'azione finalizzata all'empowerment della persona, alla promozione di abilità autoriflessive e di resilienza e al miglioramento di una serie di life skills attraverso la relazione educativa mediata dalla narrazione e dal dialogo. 2. Obiettivi Sono stati perseguiti due obiettivi: i) analisi del vissuto di trapianto e dell'esperienza di transizione; ii) strutturazione, implementazione e verifica dell'efficacia di una serie di interventi educativi mediati dall'uso di strumenti di dialogo originali in un gruppo di pazienti (tarda adolescenza, giovani adulti) sottoposti a trapianto di fegato. Gli interventi educativi (quattro in tutto, con specifici protocolli) si sono focalizzati sui seguenti aspetti: qualità di vita e aderenza dopo trapianto; processo di transizione; sviluppo di abilità di gestione autonoma della salute. 3. Disegno dello studio Lo studio prevede la messa in atto di un progetto pilota con metodologie di ricerca miste. I pazienti coinvolti nel progetto sono stati randomizzati in gruppo sperimentale (Gs) (con il quale sono stati realizzati gli incontri educativi) e gruppo di controllo (Gc) (non hanno partecipato agli incontri). 4. Materiali e metodi Sono state utilizzate metodologie e metodi differenti a seconda degli obiettivi perseguiti: - obiettivo i) analisi del vissuto di trapianto: intervista semi-strutturata con tutti i pazienti coinvolti. Tutte le interviste sono state audio registrate, trascritte e analizzate attraverso la ricognizione di temi ricorrenti (Atlas.ti, versione 7.1.8). - obiettivo ii) verifica di efficacia degli interventi educativi: conduzione di un'analisi pre e post interventi attraverso la somministrazione di una batteria di questionari atti a valutare le seguenti dimensioni: benessere complessivo: Satisfaction Profile (SAT-P); aderenza: Scala di Morisky per l'aderenza terapeutica (MMAS-4) e questionario ad hoc "Valutazione dell'aderenza in pazienti sottoposti a trapianto di fegato"; autoefficacia percepita nella gestione di situazioni problematiche: Scala di autoefficacia percepita nella soluzione di problemi (APSP); livello di competenza percepito rispetto al tema della transizione: questionario ad hoc "Gestione autonoma del proprio stato di salute in relazione al processo di transizione". Le statistiche descrittive e inferenziali sono state condotte mediante l'utilizzo del software SPSS, versione 23. 5. Risultati Lo studio ha preso avvio a luglio 2015 e si è concluso ad ottobre 2016. Sono stati coinvolti 14 pazienti con un'età media (±DS) di 23,9 (±4,7) anni (range: 16-30) e un'etè media (±DS) al trapianto di 8,7 (±7,2) anni (range: 1-25). Contenuti qualitativi: l'analisi delle interviste ha permesso di approfondire diversi aspetti legati al trapianto connessi al tema del ricordo, della comunicazione e del racconto. Ancora, il legame ambivalente con i genitori nella gestione della salute dopo il trapianto, il rapporto con amici e compagni di scuola e l'esperienza di transizione caratterizzata da una significativa tensione tra dipendenza e autonomia (soprattutto dalle figure genitoriali). Dati quantitativi: considerando l'intero gruppo di pazienti, i dati emersi dall'analisi pre indicano per il benessere soggettivo (SAT-P) medie (±DS) più elevate per la funzionalità fisica (67±15,3) e sociale (66±18,5) rispetto a quella psicologica (60±18,7), lavorativo/scolastica (62,8±22,2) e legata allo stile di vita (60,9±15,4). Quasi il 30% dei pazienti si colloca nella fascia di mancata aderenza (MMAS-4). Rispetto alla percezione di autoefficacia nella soluzione di problemi (APSP) emerge un punteggio medio (±DS) classificato come basso di 66 (±13,1). Al confronto operato entro i gruppi nel pre e post test, i dati evidenziano un miglioramento statisticamente significativo alla somministrazione post nel Gs per i punteggi del SAT-P inerenti il tono dell'umore (p<0,001), la stabilità emozionale (p<0,05) e la fiducia in se stessi (p<0,05). Si ravvisa inoltre un generale mantenimento o rinforzo dell'aderenza nel Gs e un mantenimento della mancata aderenza nel Gc (p=ns). Rispetto all'autoefficacia (APSP) si osserva un decremento significativo del punteggio complessivo al post test nel Gc (p<0,05). Decremento generale osservato, sempre nel Gc, per il livello di competenza percepito rispetto al tema della transizione a fronte di un generale miglioramento dei punteggi dello stesso nel Gs (p=ns). 6. Discussione I diversi risultati presentati hanno permesso di elaborare alcune riflessioni in merito al vissuto dopo trapianto, a partire da alcune generali difficoltà espresse dai ragazzi nel parlare e raccontare questa esperienza. Difficoltà ravvisate anche e soprattutto sul piano psicologico ed emotivo (per quanto riguarda, ad esempio, la stabilità emozionale e il tono dell'umore). Criticità sono state inoltre riscontrate rispetto all'aderenza, soprattutto all'assunzione della terapia immunosoppressiva. Entrambi questi dati trovano conferma nella letteratura specifica di riferimento. I risultati (sia qualitativi che quantitativi) hanno permesso di identificare alcune possibili aree di intervento educativo. Tra queste, la promozione dell'autoriflessione e dell'elaborazione dell'esperienza del trapianto, il lavoro più mirato sull'acquisizione e rinforzo di determinate competenze psicosociali con i pazienti e il supporto e l'accompagnamento dei genitori nel corso del processo di transizione. 7. Conclusioni Questo studio rappresenta una prima esperienza a carattere interventistico rispetto all'educazione in questo ambito. Essendo questo un progetto pilota che ha coinvolto un gruppo ristretto di pazienti non risulta possibile operare delle generalizzazioni per quanto concerne i risultati identificati. Le prospettive future, ed auspicabili, al termine dello studio consisteranno in una revisione degli interventi (alla luce dei risultati conseguiti) e una loro possibile implementazione con un campione pià ampio di giovani pazienti. Il progetto potrebbe inoltre fornire un nuovo punto di vista rispetto al tema della transizione nelle sue implicazioni clinico - pratiche.

Full textThis research explores the possibilities opened by offering a specific and original kind of artistic-musical experience to adults (namely, professionals in education) in order to develop awareness, listening, and transformative learning. I designed an “enactive musical workshop”, proposed it to two groups of participants, and analysed its effects and process in order to identify some structural dimensions of musical listening that might become an educational experience and a training practice. The building blocks of the workshops, based on the gnoseological and epistemological framework of embodied and enactive pedagogy/knowledge, are the acting bodies of the trainer and trainees, and the formative gestures which leads to the conditions of a transformative/educational setting, as an inter-active field of experience and knowledge-building. The theoretical hypothesis – discussed in the first part of the thesis – of a deep analogy between musical and formative gestures highlights the material qualities of the latter in terms of temporality, spatiality, intensity, and form. The expressive sense of gesture is intransitive: this suggests that a formative experience (here, radically understood as the formation of the person) might not be based on the communication of content (affective or intellectual), but on the performative effects of the trainer and trainees’ gestures and actions, organically orchestrated, as in musical composition. In my project, the experience of listening becomes the centre of this analogy between musical and educational gestures/knowledge and the heart of the designed workshop, which is specifically structured as the implementation of enactive listening to a piece of music (I chose the Prelude “La cathédrale engloutie” by Debussy and the Impromptu No 1 by Schubert) through cycles where bodily action and co-reflexivity phases alternate recursively. Through this process, the enactive exposition of the participants to the sound-relational structures of the piece facilitates the acknowledgment of their own actions, patterns, and bodily postures, therefore of their symbolic positions as educators. Besides, the training process triggered by enactive musical listening entails the possibility of modifying/refining those patterns and postures, thanks to the fundamental mediation of the group. The second part of the thesis focuses on the design, realization, and analysis of two workshops with two groups of professionals in education from the University of Milan Bicocca, carried out in the 2018/19 academic year. As a researcher, I took an active part in the workshops; my own self-training and reflexive process is among the objectives of my study and one of its relevant outcomes. The chosen methodology is enactive, interpretative, critical, and aimed at building a good enough theory of this experience. Auto-biographical and auto-ethnographic writing, the use of video-registrations and field notes, the dialogical involvement of my participants in all the phases of the project are the ingredients of an enactive process of knowledge construction. Similarly, the choice in favour of an ongoing, narrative and reflexive analysis of the contexts and processes carried out in each workshop (after a more inductive initial phase) was meant to highlight the cross-effects of multiple and entangled actions and meanings, performed by the participants and the conductor. The analysis has highlighted: 1) a knowing process that places at the center the body with its perceptions and feelings, the actions and postures; 2) the enactive co-construction of a listening method, such that the movement feelings of each could loop, contaminate and be refined through the mediation of a group action; 3) the generative process carried out by the participants, through the enactive listening, of some embodied educational metaphors thanks to which they could contact some structural elements of a competence to educate.

Full textThe subject of this thesis is the schools for emigrant adults created in Italy during the liberal era. Studying them entails bringing back to light documentation overlooked until now: acts of municipal administrations, ministerial documents, in addition to brochures and articles written by teachers, educators and politicians. Conducted using first-hand archival and library materials, the research reveals the presence of a vast network of educational courses for emigrants promoted by various institutions (the Emigration Commission, the Ministry of Public Instruction, and Humanitarian Organizations) from the Giolittian era onward until the 1920s. This system of education and instruction, pervasive in areas with high rates of emigration, highlights the regulatory framework and the pedagogical and educational orientation, which, as we have endeavored to show, were related to the cultural and political perspectives of the time.

Full textThe research focuses on adult hardships. The concept of person is considered by the light of a climate defined (neo) modern in which man lives a daily difficulty in recognising both himself and the surrounding context. Interpersonal relationships are strongly influenced by this socio cultural pressure that needs to be considered and analysed. Adulthood is the specific field of the research. During this stage of life, maturity and wisdom are elements to be considered and analysed in relation to the constitutive limits of the person: the awareness and the acceptance of the limits represent a first act of maturity. The limits and hardships require an interdisciplinary understanding: medicine and pedagogy interact on behalf of the person in hardships; factual proposals derive from this interaction for a joint responsibility on a biological and educational level. It gains substance after all a pedagogy of the hardships and adult marginality as a result of an epistemological exchange between the two disciplines. This perspective requires renewed interventions in adult marginality because the hardships and suffering cannot be always ascribed to pathological matters. Pedagogy, besides recognising the role of the other disciplines, is considered as a science engaged in the education of adult people in hardships.

Full textLa tesi di dottorato analizza le relazioni tra adulti e bambini e quelle fra bambini all’interno di spazi educativi per l’infanzia. L’analisi si basa su una ricerca etnografica sviluppata diacronicamente in tre luoghi differenti: una Comunità educativa per bambini, una ludoteca di quartiere e, infine, una ludoteca interna ad un ospedale pediatrico. L’obiettivo è stato quello di comprendere quale infanzia venga costruita in spazi che hanno finalità diverse e quali relazioni si configurano tra adulti e bambini al loro interno. Lo studio si inserisce nel filone della cosiddetta new child sociology che ha avuto un notevole sviluppo negli scorsi decenni nella sociologia statunitense, inglese e nordeuropea. Nella ricerca si adotta una prospettiva di analisi di impronta socio-costruttivista e interpretativa. Una prospettiva presentata e discussa nel capitolo iniziale (Parte I) offrendo una ricognizione teorica degli studi internazionali che di recente si sono dedicati alla decostruzione e allo svelamento scientifico dei discorsi dominanti e prevalenti sull’infanzia nelle moderne società occidentali. Nella Parte II si descrivono e discutono gli aspetti metodologici della ricerca sviluppata attraverso un’osservazione etnografica in tre diversi luoghi dedicati all’infanzia nonché la realizzazione di interviste qualitative ad adulti coinvolti nell’osservazione. Nella Parte III (cap I; II; III; ) si descrive e analizza in profondità il resoconto etnografico per ciascuno dei tre campi osservati. La proposta teorica centrale (Parte IV) consiste nella esplicitazione di un nuovo paradigma interpretativo delle relazioni intergenerazionali che, discostandosi da quello tradizionale fondato sugli assunti educativi, pone l’accento e introduce una prospettiva di tipo culturale basata sulla decostruzione dell’immagine del bambino come soggetto subalterno e sullo svelamento delle caratteristiche di attore propria di ogni bambino.
