This thesis explores the attachment bond in early childhood, with particular attention to the educational context and the relational dynamics observed during the internship conducted at the Spring Section of the "Maria Immacolata" Nursery School in Terrassa Padovana. The work is structured in three chapters: the first chapter provides a theoretical framework based on the studies of John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth, with a focus on the observational paradigm of the Strange Situation. The second chapter examines the role of attachment in early childhood within both family and school contexts, highlighting the attachment behaviors displayed by preschool children and the crucial role of the educator in fostering a secure attachment through daily relational interactions. The third chapter is dedicated to the internship experience and the direct observation of ten children during the separation from their parents, their interactions with adults and peers, their participation in school activities, and the data collected through questionnaires completed by their families. The goal is to understand how individual histories influence the settling-in process and how the educational environment can support a smooth, personalized, and respectful adjustment process, taking into account each child’s primary attachment relationship.
La presente tesi di laurea indaga il legame di attaccamento nella prima infanzia, ponendo particolare attenzione al contesto educativo e alle dinamiche relazionali osservate durante il tirocinio svolto presso la Sezione Primavera della Scuola dell’Infanzia “Maria Immacolata” di Terrassa Padovana. Il lavoro si articola in tre capitoli: il primo propone un inquadramento teorico fondato sugli studi di John Bowlby e Mary Ainsworth, con un focus sul paradigma osservativo della Strange Situation. Il secondo capitolo esamina il ruolo dell’attaccamento nella prima infanzia in contesto familiare e scolastico, mettendo in luce i comportamenti di attaccamento che si manifestano nei bambini in età prescolare e il ruolo cruciale dell’educatore nel favorire un attaccamento sicuro attraverso la relazione quotidiana. Il terzo capitolo è dedicato all’esperienza di tirocinio e all’osservazione diretta di dieci bambini nel momento della separazione dai genitori, nelle interazioni con adulti e pari, nella partecipazione alle attività scolastiche e nei dati raccolti tramite i questionari conoscitivi forniti dalle famiglie. L’obiettivo è comprendere in che modo le storie individuali influenzino il processo di inserimento e come l’ambiente educativo possa supportare un percorso di ambientamento sereno, personalizzato e rispettoso del legame di attaccamento primario di ciascun bambino.

Abstract
This thesis explores the attachment bond in early childhood, with particular attention to the educational context and the relational dynamics observed during the internship conducted at the Spring Section of the "Maria Immacolata" Nursery School in Terrassa Padovana. The work is structured in three chapters: the first chapter provides a theoretical framework based on the studies of John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth, with a focus on the observational paradigm of the Strange Situation. The second chapter examines the role of attachment in early childhood within both family and school contexts, highlighting the attachment behaviors displayed by preschool children and the crucial role of the educator in fostering a secure attachment through daily relational interactions. The third chapter is dedicated to the internship experience and the direct observation of ten children during the separation from their parents, their interactions with adults and peers, their participation in school activities, and the data collected through questionnaires completed by their families. The goal is to understand how individual histories influence the settling-in process and how the educational environment can support a smooth, personalized, and respectful adjustment process, taking into account each child’s primary attachment relationship.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
