INCLUSIVE DIDACTICS AND DIGITAL MEDIATION: ENHANCEMENT OF COMPUTATIONAL AND CALCULATION SKILLS

- Abstract id: 1683 The presence of digital in our lives and in the world of education is transforming the processes of knowledge acquisition and conceptualisation, and influencing the teaching practices as well as the use and the role of technologies as an educational mediator. These transformations require to the research constant attention and reinterpretation of the paradigms to take into account the evolution of the technologies and the different awareness of all the actors. Therefore, research in education must necessarily complement the analysis of the existing situations with new models and strategies of inclusive didactics supported by digital mediation, by activating collaborative research programs with schools. In this paper we outline a new multidisciplinary research project on the impact of digital mediation on education and learning in primary school students, with specific reference to the strengthening of foundational skills such as calculation, problem solving and computational thinking.
