La comunità di apprendimento: uno studio di caso nella scuola Di Donato di Roma

Many studies show a positive relationship between student performance and family participation in school life. Family participation can also be a benefit to the entire school community, helping to share responsibility in educational and training processes. The paper examines the pedagogical and methodological motivations and objectives of learning communities that have been consolidating with increasing frequency within the Ibero-American educational landscape for more than twenty years. Situating this project within the theoretical reflection about the growing importance of widespread and continuous lifelong, lifewide, lifedeep education, which is necessary to promote active citizenship in today's information society, we intend to explore both the conceptual framework and the good practices that characterize this projectuality. At the same time, through a case study at the Di Donato elementary school in Rome, some possible limitations and problems that this project entails and, conversely, the possibility of obviating them by assuming only partially the original methodology are also highlighted.
