Sebbene l’allarme causato dal virus COVID-19 in Italia sia sorto inizialmente come un’emergenza sanitaria, ha ben presto avuto ricadute in molti altri settori e istituzioni; il sistema educativo è stato uno tra i primi ad avere risentito degli effetti della pandemia poiché scuole e università sono state chiuse fin dalle prime settimane. Le scuole hanno quindi iniziato a costruire nuove modalità di fare scuola per mantenere il contatto con studenti e famiglie nonché per proseguire con le attività didattiche. Questo articolo vuole approfondire il tema dell’esperienza scolastica di studenti, genitori e insegnanti durante l’emergenza sanitaria da Covid-19. Dopo una breve analisi della situazione della scuola italiana pre-pandemia, il paper vuole fare luce sugli effetti del lockdown circa le relazioni scuola-famiglia e le modalità attraverso le quali si è vissuto e fatto esperienza di schooling durante questa fase emergenziale. Complessivamente, ciò che emerge è che la didattica a distanza ha causato tensioni e difficoltà tra gli insegnanti, i genitori e gli studenti ma, al tempo stesso, ha dato occasione di riflettere e costruire nuovi modi inaspettati per creare legami, garantire socializzazione e riconfigurare la scuola nel suo doppio ruolo di canale di trasmissione di conoscenza e di palestra che forma i cittadini del futuro.

Abstract

Even if the alarm caused by coronavirus in Italy has actually arisen as a medical emergency, it soon became apparent that there would be may other spill-over effects. The education system has been one of the first areas which have been adversely affected by this pandemic, as schools and university have been closed since the very first weeks. Schools have thus begun to build new ways of schooling in order to keep in contact with students and families and to go on with teaching activities. This article aims to focus on students’, parents’ and teachers’ educational experience in the time of the Covid-19 emergency. After a brief study of the situation of the Italian school before this pandemic, the paper seeks to investigate the lockdown effect on the school-family relationships and on the way of schooling during this emergency time. Findings show that distant learning has caused tensions and difficulties among teachers, students and parents, but at the same time it has enabled to reflect and to build new unexpected ways of drawing connections, guaranteeing socializing and refiguring the school on its role both of transmitting knowledge and of training the future citizens.
