Digital Humanities e didattica

risorse educative aperte per un apprendimento efficace

Abstract

This thesis examines how the advent of the digital era has brought about profound changes in the paradigms of access to knowledge and how these changes impact the field of education. In a context characterized by information overload, this work highlights the risks of fragmentation and the need to restore complexity to knowledge. Such complexity is also essential in educational content: as a humanities professor, I have chosen to focus my analysis on Open Educational Resources, as they can serve as a key tool for overcoming this fragmentation within an open digital ecosystem. Through the lens of Digital Humanities, this study investigates how teacher mediation can transform an overabundance of data into meaningful learning. This research includes an exploratory survey, which I conducted via questionnaire, regarding the digital competencies of humanities teachers. As an operational synthesis, it proposes the creation of a pedagogical manual aimed at critically integrating academic and certified sources, as well as Artificial Intelligence tools, into teaching practices to promote metacognition.
