Reggio pedagogy

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The term Reggio pedagogy is used to describe the conception and practice of municipal day-care centers in the Italian city of Reggio nell'Emilia .

concept

This pedagogy is seen as a task for the entire city, which means that other organizations and the parents are also involved in the upbringing of the children. The basic concept of Reggio pedagogy is that the educators work with the strengths and not against the weaknesses of the children.

The children should develop individually according to their possibilities and realize themselves. In doing so, they learn in projects that promote their different ways of expression. What is essential here is the appreciation by the respective educators, who prepare continuous documentation of the pedagogical work and developments of the child.

Pedagogical principle

However, the principles of Reggio pedagogy have not yet been put into writing because they fear the loss of the flexibility of their concept.

Since Reggio pedagogy represents the image of competent children who actively advance their own development and explore the world independently, the pedagogical specialist serves as a companion of the learning process and as a researcher. In addition, the educator has the task of supporting the child in his development through didactic-methodical learning structures and of documenting this.

The respect and appreciation of the family and the child's culture of origin is also an important component, as cooperation with the parents is a prerequisite for enabling the child to develop individually.

history

The concept was developed in the 1970s under the leadership of the teacher Loris Malaguzzi in the city of Reggio Emilia.

In 1991, Reggio Emilia municipal day care centers became famous around the world when Newsweek Magazine named them the World's Best Early Childhood Education Program.
