Thinkering e ambienti educativi flessibili: verso una nuova ecologia dell’apprendimento

In an era marked by complexity and transformation, tinkerable environments emerge as flexible educational spaces, open to experimentation, error and shared design. Grounded in constructivism and constructionism, these environments foster learning by making, emphasizing the active role of students. When integrated with Design Thinking, Tinkering promotes iterative and creative processes aimed at addressing real-world problems. From a situated and embodied perspective, modular materials and cooperative contexts support the development of cognitive, social, and emotional skills. The article offers a theoretical and methodological reflection on how these environments can generate an inclusive, transformative, and future-oriented learning ecology.
