L’innovazione digitale tra didattica museale e didattica scolastica. Un’esperienza di riprogettazione a distanza di un percorso espositivo in risposta alla pandemia provocata dal Covid-19
Abstract
As a result of the pandemic caused by Covid-19, in the Italian and international context, museums have faced the impossibility of physically accommodating visitors by developing digital museum's visits. The transition from transmissive forms of education to models centered on the constructive and collaborative nature of learning processes has contributed to the development of reflections on possible forms of interweaving between the use of digital technologies in school and museum’s education. An experimentation that goes in this direction has been realized for the exhibition What a Wonderful World. La lunga storia dell'Ornamento tra arte e natura, at the Fondazione Palazzo Magnani. Two classes of a middle school in Reggio Emilia took part to an experience designed by a group of experts. The experience included a visit to the exhibition and tow hands-on laboratories. After the suspension of teaching activities due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the visit was redesigned in virtual form by the research group.
