Dr. Daniele Nappo, Legal Representative as well as founder of S. Freud Private School, draws attention to the goal set by Miur, namely to ensure that students have the conscious mastery of key skills to cope with current changes and challenges so as to make them active and aware citizens.
Through the National Directions, each school institution has a frame within which to delimit its own school curriculum, avoiding the logic of programs indicated from above. It is a text that is proposed to autonomous schools with a simple structure, written in comprehensible language that provides minimal basics, which considers the specificity of different school periods. The focus on specificity must not, however, be at the expense of a supporting pedagogical unity on the basis of which to articulate and structure a curriculum in continuity between school grades. The prescriptiveness of the competency goals means that schools and teachers autonomously choose the path to reach them, but the goal cannot be eluded because only competencies, as explained and normed in the ministerial text, can ensure that new generations become conscious adults. We move from the transmission of notions, data, formulas and descriptions to be studied by rote to a co-construction of their own knowledge by the learners: the formula, in short, is learning in a meaningful, autonomous and responsible way by doing research, developing curiosities, pointing out hypotheses, collaborating. By tackling and solving problems together with peers. The goal of the document from Miur, the Ministry of Education and Merit, is that schools can truly ensure that students have a conscious mastery of the key competencies to cope with the changes and challenges of the present time, to better project themselves into the future, and to become active and aware citizens. Talking about citizenship skills also means a renewed focus on language education, art, history, geography, and computational thinking that is a logical creative process. It means, ultimately, offering students appropriate tools to deal with the world.
