Il dis-orientamento come navigazione nell’incertezza

Una ricerca con adolescenti in comunità di indagine filosofica.

Abstract

The 2022 MIM Guidelines present orientation in its individual dimension, focusing on the role of personal merit in educational and professional success. As opposed to this individualistic perspective, the intention in this research is to propose a social expression of orientation, didactically elaborating a proposal that can teach how to deal communally with a problem or question. While addressing together and collectively the uncertainty to seek a possible answer. 

The study of this communitarian dimension invites school orientation to take a critical look at life in complex societies, changing times and uncertain futures. Thus, the need for an orienting didactics emerges, which can find in the methodology of Philosophy for Children (P4C) a way of proposing and communally traversing a problem (Barreneche & Santi, 2022). This exploratory research is presented as a proposal that, through the educational experience of P4C in the classroom with adolescents, demonstrates its value for collectively conceived orientation. And reveals dis-orientation as a shared burden within a community of inquiry; that results fundamental in contexts of uncertain societies.
