(ANSA) - ROME, 04 JAN - The suspension of face-to-face teaching activities is changing the way of teaching.
Alternative strategies must necessarily be sought.
It is not simply a matter of transferring content from the desk to the webcam but of teaching and learning in a new way.
With this in mind, the "MG on Air" radio project starts at the "Marco Galdi" Classical and Music High School in Cava de 'Tirreni, in the province of Salerno, led by the principal Maria Alfano.
A real remote editing and radio studio. Not students and teachers, but editors and chief editors. Not homework in the "classroom", power points and other multimedia works, but a radio newspaper that treats the study topics as if they were news stories. In the GR, realized at a distance, we move, therefore, over time, from one century to another, and from one discipline to another, with the power of the imagination that relies on a knowledge that, in this exercise, is consolidated. In practice, the student-chroniclers give news of what they study, imagining that they are interviewing poets, scientists, philosophers, politicians of the past, mixing the experiences of the past with those of today. "They write about everything: from politics, with the Agorà page, to cooking, with the" Ab ovo "column, from philosophy, with" Perle di Saggezza ", to cosmetics with" Pulcherrima "- says Nicoletta Tancredi, teacher of Latin and Greek and soul of the initiative - There is even gossip with "xoxo", "Eureka" for science, "Museum" for art, "Annales", for all the colors of the news and finally also a polling area, "Doxa". Above all they have fun. So much so that they have worked, just like in a real editorial office, even during the Christmas holidays, with a meeting on the same platform as the video lessons on December 30th and pieces ready on the desk on December 31st and 1st January. In short, with shifts that would be worth a superfestivo! And that the kids themselves ask for, rewarded by the enthusiasm and pleasure of experimenting with what is nothing more than a new study method ". "This is a moment - explain the professors Emilia Aliberti, Giuseppina Orsini and Giacomo Mele, who work on the project - in which the students inevitably had to self-discipline, anticipating, in a certain sense, the conduct of university students . They are deprived of contact with their classmates and experience the radio as the warm medium, which draws near and unites. It is attention, listening, speech. Listening to the ear and heart to the other. And all together to knowledge. different learning, shared, authentic, flexible, which leaves room for creativity, passions, reasoning. It is an opportunity to become more aware students, not worried about having to memorize and repeat, but showing themselves capable of interpreting contents critically ". In the first issue, which will be broadcast on the return from the Christmas holidays, among the various services we have a link from the 12th century, to hear the suggestions of Andrea Cappellano, author of "De amore", on how to always be happy as a couple. But there is also a student who requests the line from the future, 2280 AD, for having found the drive of an anonymous, in which a provision is contemplated, more precisely a cry, against "the good students", who in the year 2020 have used various tricks, to avoid being questioned during distance learning. The goal is to study in order to truly understand, to look for the tools to be able to judge the present, in a unified way, without getting lost and confronting each other; group feeling is consolidated, distance is overcome. In addition to the news, the radio project also includes two other spaces for debate and discussion: the Literary Lounge and the Music Lounge. The first is a reality already consolidated for years at the Liceo Galdi. The second is a completely radio novelty. It is a debate on books and music, proposed and voted on by students, to enjoy the beauty of literature and music, sharing it. Each at his home and not at his single desk, far away and compact, on the same frequency of intentions and thoughts. (HANDLE).
