Non appare semplice confrontarsi con un concetto polisemico come quello di cultura scolastica che implica alcune operazioni preliminari. Sebbene la “cultura della scuola” sia stato un costrutto sottoposto a molteplici riflessioni teoretiche, due appaiono le letture interpretative particolarmente rilevanti: da un lato, il superamento di un modello culturale come forma di addestramento e di acculturazione; dall’altro, l’approdo a un’idea di cultura da intendersi come “forma dell’educazione” che ricentralizzi una “scuola della Costituzione”, in grado di emancipare e di sup-portare gli allievi nella produzione autonoma della cultura. Sembra opportuno adottare una prospettiva grandan-golare (Baldacci, 2006) che ponga l’accento sugli effetti formativi di lungo termine ossia sull’esito del percorso di un intero grado scolastico. Recuperando le suggestioni di Scurati (1973/2021) e ri-centralizzando le riflessioni di Malavasi (2020), il saggio si proporrà di promuovere una cultura del curricolo che sappia porsi come strumento di raccordo organico tra la dimensione scolastica e quella extrascolastica

Abstract
Dealing with a polysemic concept such as school culture, which implies recourse to certain preliminary operations, is not an easy process. Although “school culture” as a construct has been the subject of many theoretical reflections, two interpretative readings seem particularly relevant: the first involves overcoming a cultural model as a form of training and acculturation; the other entails arriving at an idea of culture understood as a form of education that can re-centralize a “School of the Constitution” while retaining the ability to emancipate and support pupils in the autonomous production of culture. It seems appropriate to adopt a wide-angle perspective (Baldacci, 2006) that emphasizes the long-term formative effects, that is, the outcome of the course of an entire school grade. Lastly, returning to the suggestions of Scurati (1973/2021) and reasserting the centrality of the reflections of Malavasi (2020), the essay will propose to promote a school curriculum culture that is able to present itself as an instrument of organic connection between scholastic and extra-scholastic elementsI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
