Genitorialità e gemellarità in dialogo con la scuola

Abstract

This essay talks about twins, in relation to the peculiar educational dynamics that must be taken into consideration in the family and at school. Twins represent a challenge in education for family and school, extremely different from the education single children. On one hand, twins share similar needs with any other child, but on the other hand they dramatically increase the effort in daily organization and activate educative, cognitive and psychological issues. This represents a crucial task not only for the parents, but it involves the whole familar environment, the teachers and all the different actors involved in their education. So far these issues were considered only from the psycological point of view in the Italian scientific literature, whereas the various pedagogic aspects are not yet studied.
