1. La scelta della scuola secondaria di secondo grado e la “tirannia” del merito: la necessità di educare alla cultura della meritorietà.

Author

Abstract

By analyzing the data on enrollments in the first class of secondary school, for the school year. 2023/24, there is a decline in the percentages of those enrolled in professional institutes. The data recorded is even more saddening in light of the many efforts made by the Ministry in recent years, in order to enhance the training offer in an effective, professionalizing and sustainable way. Unfortunately, our meritocratic society is linked to a Gentile-style vision of school which assigns greater prestige to generalist studies, to the detriment of those in the technological-professional training chain. It is necessary to overcome this distorted vision, the result of a dichotomous society, which assigns the high school student the role of winner and the professional student the role of loser.

Abstract

This study aimed to explore the relationships between students’ perception of parental behaviours towards their children’s choice, parental attachment and students’ exploration when choosing a school. Participants included 1851 pre-adolescents attending some public middle schools’ third classes. They completed the adaptation to school choices of the Exploration of Vocational Issue Scale—the SIL Scale—to evaluate the students’ perceptions of their parents’ career-related behaviours and the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment to evaluate the parental relationships. The results showed significant relationships between communication, parental trust and parental alienation in regard to the exploration of choosing a school. Furthermore, the three perceived parental behaviours (support, interference and lack of engagement) partially mediated the relationship between parental attachment and exploration. The study suggests that a good attachment relationships encourages students to explore their own opportunity to choose the best schooling option only if they feel supported and not bypassed by their parents.

Abstract

This paper analyzes the role of the family in the construction of adolescents choices and life projects examining, in particular, the characteristics of those cultural resources that parents are able to offer and transmit to children, in terms of educational level, support, attention, care, opportunities. The study based on qualitative and quantitative data collected during a larger study carried out in Italian upper secondary schools considers material and symbolic resources as either possibilities or constraints for young people, for whom the intergenerational relationship can be viewed as an opportunity for the transition to adulthood. The aim of the present article is to offer a critical review of Pierre Bourdieu s concept of cultural capital, reconstructing the main processes of intergenerational transmission of cultural resources. In particular, through an analysis of a set of qualitative data from the nationwide PRIN study, two ideal types of processes of intergenerational transmission are identified, transversal to all social groups, which are not free from the risk of dispersal of cultural resources and are linked to a different understanding of education. On the one hand, we have education as capital, that is to say a conception of education as a family patrimony that gives access to rewards and can be accumulated or lost. Education here is understood to be a duty/obligation for children in line with a certain dependence on and continuity with family history and is the result of a more directive educational style. On the other hand, we have education as an entitlement to be fully enjoyed, a real opportunity to develop one s abilities, a space to learn and test out useful skills to navigate complex decision-making processes, and which is the result of an educational style that promotes responsibility-taking.
