Description
This study examines the integration of tinkering, a constructivist practice, into formal education, highlighting its potential and challenges. Through the "Officina degli Errori", researchers and educators sought to blend tinkering's open exploratory nature with structured learning in primary school classrooms, focusing on Physics Education. Despite pandemic-induced limitations, feedback from 20 teachers and analysis of fishbowl protocols revealed tinkering's positive impact on classroom dynamics, teacher engagement, and student inclusion. However, teachers are often uneasy conducting scientific research with their students. These findings will guide our future co-designs to enhance learning experiences and address the complexities of incorporating tinkering into formal education.
