Designing with AI, Teaching the Body: A Pilot Study on Pre-Service Teacher Training for Embodied Emotional Literacy

Dario Lombardi

Abstract


Questo studio pilota indaga come gli insegnanti in formazione, iscritti a un corso di Didattica Generale (LM-85bis), progettano interventi educativi per l'Alfabetizzazione Emotiva Corporea (EEL) utilizzando l'IA generativa come strumento di co-progettazione. L'EEL integra la consapevolezza corporea, l'interocezione e il movimento espressivo come percorsi fondamentali per la competenza emotiva. L'urgenza pedagogica si basa su dati epidemiologici documentati: l'alessitimia colpisce il 10-20% degli adolescenti; l'obesità infantile interessa un bambino su cinque delle scuole primarie italiane; l'esordio dei disturbi alimentari si verifica ormai già a partire dagli otto anni. Gli studenti con Bisogni Educativi Speciali (BES) mostrano una maggiore vulnerabilità in tutte e tre le dimensioni. In un'unica sessione strutturata sul modello ADDIE, gruppi di studenti hanno utilizzato un chatbot basato sull'IA per co-progettare interventi orientati al corpo e adattati a specifici profili di BES. Un test retrospettivo ha valutato i cambiamenti percepiti nell'autoefficacia, nelle conoscenze teoriche e nell'utilità dell'IA per una progettazione didattica inclusiva. I risultati preliminari suggeriscono che la co-progettazione mediata dall'intelligenza artificiale attiva la conoscenza pedagogica tacita sul nesso corpo-emozione, producendo miglioramenti misurabili nell'autoefficacia e nella qualità dell'intervento.
