We focus on a part of a research conducted by CREMIT about the use of mobile devices in the classroom. In the school years 2017/19 23 teachers and 113 students of lower secondary school of the «Sacra Famiglia» Institute (Martinengo, BG) have been involved. The main theme is the promotion of responsible behavior in using digital devices, which were introduced in school after a one-year training of the teaching staff. It was necessary to think about the educational implications, so students and teachers construct together a pedagogical contract. The negotiation process that leads to the drafting of the guidelines becomes an opportunity for dialogue and expression of needs that are traced back to the informal and which should lead to a positive impact on daily habits, even outside the school. In order to monitor any possible additions to the contract and measures aimed at rewarding virtuous behaviors or discouraging bad ones, teachers were asked to insert notes in a journal. The results make it clear that it is necessary that, in addition to the pedagogical contract design process, the management of critical incidents also needs to become shared, to make the class a real field for practicing citizenship.
Questo studio è parte di una ricerca biennale di CREMIT sull’uso dei dispositivi mobili in classe che, negli a.s. 2017/19, ha coinvolto 23 docenti e 113 studenti della classe prima di scuola secondaria di primo grado dell’Istituto «Sacra Famiglia» di Martinengo (BG). In questo contributo, ci focalizzeremo sull’educazione all'uso responsabile dei tablet che sono stati introdotti nelle classi dopo un anno di accompagnamento del corpo docente. Ragionando sulle implicazioni educative ci si è dotati di un regolamento d’uso che è stato co-costruito coinvolgendo studenti e docenti. Il processo di negoziazione che porta alla stesura del contratto diviene occasione di dialogo ed esplicitazione di bisogni che generalmente vengono ricondotti all’informale e che dovrebbe portare a una ricaduta positiva sulle abitudini d’uso quotidiane, anche fuori dalla scuola. Al fine di monitorare sia i processi che eventuali integrazioni al contratto e provvedimenti volti a premiare comportamenti virtuosi o disincentivare quelli poco positivi, i docenti sono stati dotati di un diario, in cui inserire annotazioni. I risultati fanno comprendere come si renda necessario che, oltre al processo di costruzione del contratto, anche la gestione degli incidenti critici divenga partecipata e condivisa, per fare della classe un vero e proprio spazio di esercizio della cittadinanza.

Abstract
We focus on a part of a research conducted by CREMIT about the use of mobile devices in the classroom. In the school years 2017/19 23 teachers and 113 students of lower secondary school of the «Sacra Famiglia» Institute (Martinengo, BG) have been involved. The main theme is the promotion of responsible behavior in using digital devices, which were introduced in school after a one-year training of the teaching staff. It was necessary to think about the educational implications, so students and teachers construct together a pedagogical contract. The negotiation process that leads to the drafting of the guidelines becomes an opportunity for dialogue and expression of needs that are traced back to the informal and which should lead to a positive impact on daily habits, even outside the school. In order to monitor any possible additions to the contract and measures aimed at rewarding virtuous behaviors or discouraging bad ones, teachers were asked to insert notes in a journal. The results make it clear that it is necessary that, in addition to the pedagogical contract design process, the management of critical incidents also needs to become shared, to make the class a real field for practicing citizenship.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
