The present course of thesis has been carried out in the section of the great ones of the school of the parochial childhood Jesus Bambino of Crocetta del Montello (TV). The aim of the research was to demonstrate that teaching biology through an active-experimental approach brings greater benefits in terms of learning than traditional methods such as frontal teaching. At the same time, it aimed to provide a classification basis for plants and animals, focusing on those present in the territory surrounding the school building. The thesis project was divided into several stages to guide children in the discovery of the differences between living and non-living beings and in the classification of animals and plants, through practical activities and educational outings in the school yard and in the country. The activity began with a brainstorming to assess the students' preconceptions. To collect data during the course, further brainstorming and circle-time were carried out, using stimulus questions and knowledge-assessment tests. At the end of the interventions, it was proposed to create a final group, through which each child could highlight the achievement of the objectives set.
Il presente percorso di tesi è stato svolto nella sezione dei grandi della scuola dell’infanzia parrocchiale Gesù Bambino di Crocetta del Montello (TV). L'obiettivo della ricerca era dimostrare che l'insegnamento della biologia attraverso un approccio attivo-sperimentale comporta benefici superiori in termini di apprendimento rispetto ai metodi tradizionali come la didattica frontale. Parallelamente, si mirava a fornire una base di classificazione per piante e animali, focalizzandosi su quelli presenti nel territorio circostante l’edificio scolastico. Il progetto di tesi si è articolato in diverse fasi laboratoriali per guidare i bambini nella scoperta delle differenze tra esseri viventi e non viventi e nella classificazione di animali e piante, mediante attività pratiche e uscite didattiche nel cortile della scuola e nel paese. L'attività è iniziata con un brainstorming per valutare le preconoscenze degli alunni. Per raccogliere dati durante il percorso, sono stati effettuati ulteriori brainstorming e circle-time, utilizzando domande stimolo e prove di conoscenza-valutazione. Al termine degli interventi, è stata proposta la creazione di un elaborato finale di gruppo, attraverso il quale ogni bambino ha potuto evidenziare il raggiungimento degli obiettivi prefissati
Apprendere la vita: una ricerca empirica per introdurre la classificazione di animali e piante alla scuola dell'infanzia

Abstract
The present course of thesis has been carried out in the section of the great ones of the school of the parochial childhood Jesus Bambino of Crocetta del Montello (TV). The aim of the research was to demonstrate that teaching biology through an active-experimental approach brings greater benefits in terms of learning than traditional methods such as frontal teaching. At the same time, it aimed to provide a classification basis for plants and animals, focusing on those present in the territory surrounding the school building. The thesis project was divided into several stages to guide children in the discovery of the differences between living and non-living beings and in the classification of animals and plants, through practical activities and educational outings in the school yard and in the country. The activity began with a brainstorming to assess the students' preconceptions. To collect data during the course, further brainstorming and circle-time were carried out, using stimulus questions and knowledge-assessment tests. At the end of the interventions, it was proposed to create a final group, through which each child could highlight the achievement of the objectives set.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
