Children's literature offers the opportunity to get to know and explore stories of sport and education, variously declined and recounted, in literary and iconographic treatises - novels, albums, comics, popularisation - that account for the pedagogical complexity of the sporting experience and the processes of body education: motifs such as the relationship with the coach and the family, the clash with stereotypes and expectations between desire and self-determination, the confrontation with history, ethical and political choices concern the playing field, decisions and human rights, consent, disabilities or marginality, and the emotional maturity connected to victory and defeat. The contribution illustrates an innovative didactic experience through children's books, carried out at the Department of Sciences for the Quality of Life in Rimini, University of Bologna, as part of the General and Social Pedagogy for Motor and Sport Sciences course.
La letteratura per ragazzi offre la possibilità di conoscere ed esplorare storie di sport e educazione, variamente declinate e raccontate, in trattazioni letterarie e iconografiche – romanzi, albi, fumetti, divulgazione – che rendono ragione della complessità pedagogica dell’esperienza sportiva e dei processi dell’educazione corporea: motivi come la relazione con il coach e la famiglia, lo scontro con stereotipi e aspettative fra desiderio e autodeterminazione, il confronto con la Storia, le scelte etiche e politiche riguardano il campo da gioco, le decisioni e i diritti umani, il consenso, le disabilità o le marginalità, la maturità emotiva collegata alla vittoria e alla sconfitta. Il contributo illustra un’esperienza di didattica innovativa attraverso i libri per ragazzi, realizzata presso il Dipartimento di Scienze per la Qualità della Vita di Rimini, Università di Bologna, nell’ambito del corso di Pedagogia generale e sociale per le Scienze dell’attività motoria e sportiva.

Abstract
Children's literature offers the opportunity to get to know and explore stories of sport and education, variously declined and recounted, in literary and iconographic treatises - novels, albums, comics, popularisation - that account for the pedagogical complexity of the sporting experience and the processes of body education: motifs such as the relationship with the coach and the family, the clash with stereotypes and expectations between desire and self-determination, the confrontation with history, ethical and political choices concern the playing field, decisions and human rights, consent, disabilities or marginality, and the emotional maturity connected to victory and defeat. The contribution illustrates an innovative didactic experience through children's books, carried out at the Department of Sciences for the Quality of Life in Rimini, University of Bologna, as part of the General and Social Pedagogy for Motor and Sport Sciences course.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
