Modelli pedagogici nell’esperienza artistica

Che cosa racconta oggi una produzione artistica dell’ambiente socioculturale di chi la realizza e la agisce? Quali modelli pedagogici emergono e a quali bisogni educativi e formativi rimandano? Sono queste le domande che guidano il lavoro di ricerca portato avanti durante il percorso dottorale. Un lavoro che ipotizza che l’arte possa essere la via privilegiata per accedere ai modelli pedagogici, intesi come rappresentazioni del mondo trasmesse di generazione in generazione all’interno dei contesti educativi e formativi di cui ogni individuo è parte integrante. Quello che, in particolare, viene presentato in queste pagine è uno studio di caso che, come forma d’arte, prende in considerazione la musica. Si tratta del laboratorio di espressione sonora con oggetti naturali denominato ‘Orchestra della natura’, a cura di Daniele Delfino. What does an artistic production today tell about the socio-cultural environment of those who create and act on it? What pedagogical models emerge and what educational and training needs do they refer to? These are the questions that are guiding the research work I’m carrying out during my doctoral career. A work that hypothesizes that art could be the privileged way to access pedagogical models, as representations of the world transmitted from generation to generation within the educational and training contexts of which each individual is an integral part. What, in particular, is presented in these pages is a case study which, as an art form, takes into consideration music, an element present in the daily life of every human being. This is the laboratory of sound expression with natural objects called "Orchestra della Natura”, by Daniele Delfino. The study takes into consideration 135 subjects from childhood to adulthood and, through an integrated approach that sees the intertwining of the phenomenological-hermeneutic approach and Narrative Inquiry, aims to investigate not only the way in which art reveals representations of the world, but also promotes their transformation. The investigation also concerns the identification of the educational and training needs to which the models identified refer, in order to organize pedagogical interventions that can respond to these needs.
