La ricerca, di carattere esplorativo, prende spunto dal dibattito internazionale, sviluppatosi sul finire dello scorso secolo, sulla necessità di innovare il sistema educativo, in ottica di lifelong-learning, e favorire l’acquisizione delle competenze richieste nel XXI secolo. Le diverse indicazioni sollecitano una scuola intesa come Civic-center in grado di riconoscere gli apprendimenti extrascolastici, con spazi di apprendimento innovativi funzionali a didattiche learner-centred. A circa trent’anni dalla Dichiarazione di Salamanca riteniamo necessario chiederci se queste innovazioni garantiscano l’inclusione e il successo formativo di tutti. La ricerca si articola in quattro studi di caso relativi a due scuole secondarie di secondo grado innovative italiane e due finlandesi. Si propone di comprendere, sulla base delle percezioni di studenti, insegnanti e dirigenti, se tale modello di scuola favorisca anche l’inclusione e il benessere di tutti gli studenti. Dall’analisi dei risultati emerge come, in base alle percezioni di coloro che hanno partecipato alla ricerca, le scuole siano riuscite a far coesistere innovazione e inclusione. In particolare, l’utilizzo di spazi di apprendimento innovativi e il ricorso a didattiche learner-centred all’interno di una scuola aperta al territorio in grado di riconoscere le competenze extrascolastiche sembrano favorire effettivamente l’inclusione di tutti gli studenti. Nonostante gli aspetti innovativi, restano tuttavia presenti all’interno delle scuole analizzate ancora diverse criticità che non consentono di realizzare una piena inclusione for all.

Abstract
This exploratory research, has as a starting point the international debate, developed at the end of the last century, on the necessity of bringing innovation into the educational system both from a perspective of lifelong-learning and to favour the acquisition of 21st Century competences. Recommendations call for schools intended as Civic-centers able to recognise extra-school learning, and with innovative learning spaces designed for learner-centred didactics. Thirty years on from the Salamanca Declaration we ask the question of if these innovations guarantee inclusion and educational achievement for all. This research is articulated through the presentation of four case studies: two innovative high schools in Italy, and two in Finland. It intends to understand, through collecting the perceptions of the students, teachers, and principals, if these school models also favour the inclusion and well-being of all the students. Based on the analysis of the results it appears that, according the the perceptions of the research participants, the schools have achieved the co-existence of both innovation and inclusion. In particular the use of innovative learning spaces and learnercentred didactic, in a school that is also open to the territory/community and able to recognise extra-school skills, appear to favour the inclusion of all students. Innovative aspects notwithstanding, there nevertheless remain certain critical issues that do not allow the achievement of full inclusion for all.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
