Identità e qualità di una scuola. Il valore aggiunto dell’appartenenza a una comunità

2017

Un Istituto scolastico per svolgere efficacemente il suo lavoro educativo, per autovalutarsi e per migliorare il servizio adeguandolo alle esigenze reali degli studenti deve “appartenere” a qualcuno, nel senso che ci deve essere una comunità di riferimento, caratterizzata da ideali condivisi, che veda in quell’istituto scolastico l’espansione dei suoi ideali, cioè che lo consideri lo strumento per rendere partecipi gli alunni della propria cultura affinchè la migliorino e la diffondano a loro volta.

The  aim  of  this  paper  was  to  analyze  how  cultural  identification,  perceived  discrimination   and  the  sense  of  community  are  related  to  life  satisfaction  among  foreign  partners  in  intercultural   families.   The  study  compared  105  and  95  foreign  partners  in  mixed  families  resident  in  Italy  and  Spain,   respectively.  The  phenomenon  in  both  countries  displays  similar  sociodemographic  aspects.  In   contrast  to  Social  Identity  Theory,  the  results  show  that  in  both  groups  the  foreign  partner's   identification  with  their  own  ethnic-­‐cultural  group  is  not  associated  with  life  satisfaction,  nor  does  it   increase  perce…
