Fare consulenza pedagogica a scuola: il contributo della prospettiva sociomateriale

Abstract

Abstract – The paper aims to enhance the contribution of the sociomaterial approaches in pedagogical consultancy processes at school, both by clarifying and focusing on the underlying theoretical and methodological assumptions, and by referring, by way of example, to some consultancy practices. The sociomaterial paradigm allows us to focus on the materiality of education, recognizing its active role in educational and learning practices. Thematizing the materiality in action at school, in the consultancy process, enables us to observe the educational happening from a different perspective, restoring an often elusive complexity and providing interpretative tools to read it, think about it and face it. From this point of view, the sociomaterial perspective, especially when employed in combination with other approaches, offers the opportunity to consider meaning and materiality in an overall picture, building an epistemological framework able to intercept the complexity of schooling.
