TRA CODING E CODICI: UN’ESPERIENZA DI ÉVEIL AUX LANGUES TRA INTERDISCIPLINARITÀ E SVILUPPO DEL PENSIERO COMPUTAZIONALE

Abstract

The paper reports an educational experimentation inspired by the pluralistic
approach Awakening to languages, which has been carried out in an Italian
primary school. The project’s main objective is to enhance linguistic diversity
and, at the same time, to develop students’ computational thinking through a
coding game created with Scratch 3.0 software. The activities presented intend
to show the potential of an interdisciplinary and plurilingual perspective that
intertwines three different educational axes, generally separated in the school
curriculum: education to environmental sustainability, education to linguistic
diversity and the cognitive value of languages, education for an active use of
information technology.
