Abstract/Notes: The paper focuses on the relationship between Outdoor Education and adolescence in order to highlight the educational potential of this specific approach in relation to the development tasksof the age in which “going out” represents the symbolic figure of the personal and social identity construction. Starting from Rousseau and Montessori’s perspective, rethinking adolescents’education according to the outdoor method is today particularly congenial in school and extraschool contexts, with particular regard to their social and civic education. / Il contributo mette a fuoco il rapporto tra Outdoor Education e adolescenza al fine di mettere in luce il potenziale educativo di questo specifico approccio in ordine ai bisogni evolutivi dell’età in cui l’“uscire fuori” rappresenta la cifra simbolica del processo di ricerca e di costruzione della propria identità personale e sociale. Muovendo dalle prospettive di Rousseau e Montessori sul tema, ripensare l’educazione degli adolescenti secondo la modalità outdoor si rivela oggi particolarmente congeniale sia in contesti scolastici che extrascolastici, con particolare riguardo alla loro formazione sociale e civica.

Abstract/Notes: Maria Montessori’s position on scientific pedagogy and her method involves two problem areas: firstly, the necessity to clarify and define the relationship between scientific pedagogy and other sciences, particularly anthropology and physiological and experimental psychology, and, secondly, the necessity to delineate a research method and objectives. She explicitly recognised the importance of these new fields of experimental science, defining them not coincidently as corner stones of new pedagogy referring above all to their contribution to the development of observation procedures for the discovery of children’s psychological and morphological characteristics.

Abstract/Notes: This thesis explores young boys' and girls' perceptions and experiences of their schooling in the small island developing state of Mauritius. It brings to the forefront problems related to cultural and structural violence that can hamper a peaceful schooling in three state secondary schools: a single-sex girls' school, a single-sex boys' school and a mixed school which also promote the educational theories of M. K. Gandhi and Rabindranath Tagore. The findings reveal that there can be a 'fideistic' attitude to Gandhi and Tagore in this context, which highlight the need for a critical peace education that question taken-for-granted assumptions. It also shows that in schools, problems can be hidden and not discussed. The methodology was based on a participatory worldview that asserts the importance of a 'holistic inquiry' and learning from the 'Other' for peaceful coexistence. In this regard, there can be serious ethical challenges for a 'native' researcher to conduct participatory research with young people in a small-connected community like Mauritius. The research also brings together various philosophies of education and peace for the promotion of peace education. It builds on commonalities from the East and West to highlight the importance of the 'holistic' in peace education. It promotes the concept of 'wholeness' as much emphasised in the East. The research was informed by M.K. Gandhi's, Rabindranath Tagore's and Maria Montessori's educational theories for peace. It was also gender-sensitive and promoted a 'peace-focused-feminism', which is grounded in the Eastern philosophies of 'Yin' and 'Yang', 'Shakti' and 'Shiva' and 'Prakriti' and 'Purusha'.
