LEGO-KINTSUGI: A NEW TEACHING AND EDUCATIONAL METHODOLOGY TO ENHANCE LIFE SKILLS AND DIGITAL LIFE SKILLS, CREATE WELL-BEING AND EDUCATE HAPPINESS

Alfonso Filippone, Antonio Bevilacqua

Abstract


Lego-Kintsugi is an innovative teaching methodology able to combine LEGO® Education Robotics teaching with the Japanese practice of Kintsugi. It integrates emotional intelligence with the skills required for the development of artificial intelligence systems and can represent a new way of “doing teaching” aimed at overcoming fragility and healing small “daily cracks” through storytelling and emotional meta-reflection and, enhancing life skills and digital life skills, creating well-being and promoting happiness at school.


Keywords


LEGO Robotics; digital life skills; artificial and emotional intelligence; well-being at school.
