Abstract

In this contribution we will describe an extended experiment to bring constructionist approaches to the public schools in Bologna and in particular our latest project called Officina degli Errori, i.e. an extended teacher training for primary school teachers based on tinkering activities. In this paper we highlight our motivation, the structure of Officina degli Errori and the lesson learned co-designing the activities and implementing them in the reality of public schools in Bologna. We also interviewed teachers to understand criticalities in the implementation of constructionist approaches in public primary school.

Keyphrases: constroctionism, primary public school, public school, teacher training, Tinkering
