Attenzione profonda, iperattenzione e “digital divide cognitivo” intergenerazionale. L’agire competente digitale nella didattica fondata sulla “4E Cognition”.
Parole chiave:
4E Cognition, competenza digitale, ambienti di apprendimento digitali, iperattenzione, digital divide cognitivoAbstract
Il contributo tematizza le potenzialità, il ruolo e l’impatto delle tecnologie digitali nei processi di apprendimento e partecipazione dentro e fuori i contesti di istruzione nei luoghi reali, virtuali e dell’onlife. La prospettiva teorica adottata problematizza in primis l’ambiguità persistente tra skill digitale, competenza digitale e agire competente digitale, quest’ultimo quale costrutto coerente con l’adozione dell’approccio dell’embodied education. Nella prospettiva teorica della 4E Cognition, si analizzano altresì i presupposti per la progettazione di una didattica digitale innovativa che permetta una sintesi costruttiva delle due modalità cognitive quali fattori alla base del “digital divide” intergenerazionale: l’attenzione profonda, caratteristica del sistema educativo attuale e la “iperattenzione” specifica delle generazioni “native digitali”.
