Reggio Emilia Research Paper

On the opposite side of the continuum, the Reggio Emilia approach is a programme that is centred on the principles of respect, responsibility, and community. It is based on the interests of the children through a self-guided curriculum with no early learning goals or inspections.

The person that I chose was Donato di Niccolo di Betta Bardi is also known as Donatello. I chose Donatello because his sculptures look very interesting and cool looking. Another reason is because He sounded like an interesting person to research. Donatello was well known because he was the greatest Florentine sculptor before Michelangelo (1475–1564) and was the most influential individual artist of the 15th century in Italy. Donatello was born during the Renaissance period in history which began in Northern Italy during the 14th century. It is believed while Donatello was with the Martellis family, he was given his first instructions on becoming a goldsmith. He would become the apprentice of Lorenzo Ghiberti in 1403. While he was living in Rome, he earned his living in goldsmith.

The Reggio Emilia Approach was founded by Loris Malaguzzi in Reggio Emilia, Italy in the 1960s. An Educational Psychologist, Malaguzzi created an approach to education that put the child at the center of it all (Reggio Emilia Approach). The Reggio Emilia Approach considers the child to have strong individual talents and potentials. The students are the most active, involved, and important members of the classroom. Students in Reggio Emilia schools learn about themselves in relation to other people and their environment. The child is seen not as an empty vessel that needs to be filled with facts and data, but an autonomous individual capable of great potential (Kelemen,

From the beginning of time until this very moment many new people groups have joined to form new civilizations. This all then led to new ideas which they formed new concepts of how to do things such as farming, living, government, etc. Throughout this paper, I will be talking a little bit about the early Roman way of living, government, and their armies ways and changes, then at the end about the “scutum” which is the roman shield.

What did it feel like to be in Ancient Rome? How did the Romans live? Ancient Rome was located on central Italy's Tiber River into an empire that at its peak encompassed most of continental Europe, Britain, much of western Asia, northern Africa and the Mediterranean islands. Most of the Romans’ lifestyle were Jobs, Armies, War, Food and Religion.

Ancient Italy is known for many different things. It is a peninsula surrounded by the Tyrrhenian, Mediterranean, Adriatic, Ionian, and Ligurian Sea. France, Switzerland, Slovenia, also Croatia borders it. (see appendix A) The Ancient time period lasted from 752 B.C.E to 476 C.E. Pompeii is located in the south west coast of Italy. It had a population of about twenty thousand people. Several interesting things about volcanos and Pompeii include its destruction, the science behind volcanoes, the environmental impact, and how it changed over time.

While there is no fixed curriculum or one specific model to emulate, the Reggio Emilia approach does have some essential components, some fundamental ideas about how children learn most effectively. The utmost is the idea that the young child is inherently competent not only as a learner but as an initiator. The child has preferences and opinions that have value and should be listened to with respect and care, knowing that they have much to offer their classroom community and community at large. This pedagogy plays a large role in shaping the Reggio classroom. It allows the children to pursue projects which are interesting and meaningful and then allowing adequate time to follow those projects with passion.

Stephen Greenblatt created the term “self fashioning” in the early 1980s. This word referred to the Renaissance era, and suggested everyone was capable of changing and constructing themselves into different personas to fit society's standards (lecture, 9/1). Baldassare Castiglione, author of “The Courtier,” proposed that everyone, no matter what class they were from, could eventually reach the status of a noble. Many people from the bourgeoisie class yearned to attain this status. Although, the standards and obstacles one had to jump through to reach this status were nearly impossible. This was due to the contradicting nature of the values and skills a noble was expected to possess.

In the early Middle Ages, the human voice, God's creation within us, had been regarded in the sacred realm as being the only instruments we needed. The church considered the use of instruments as profane. There was no musical notation as songs were passed along from person to person by rote memorization. In the secular world, instruments were used at times by jongleurs, trouveres, and minnesingers. Some of those early instruments include the "vielle, harp, psaltery, flute, shawm, bagpipe, and drums (Thomas et al.). " Those instruments were most likely used in an accompaniment capacity, but since musical notation in the secular world was not really happening during this period, not a lot of concrete information is really known about instrumental

To me, Saint Quiteria has proven she is more than worthy of being called a saint. Saint Quiteria was born during the second century, and was a part of a nonuplet, or nine children born at the same time. Quiteria’s mother and father were both high figures a part of the Roman Empire. Her mother feared she would be compared to an animal, because of the amount of daughters she had at once, she ordered a maiden from town to drown her nine baby daughters. The maiden taking mercy on the children, decided to raise them with the other peasant women. The nine children were raised in a close-community and raised in the Catholic faith. A few years later, the daughters were arrested for refusing to believe in a Roman god, and they were all taken to the governor – who was their father¬ - who recognized them through their familiar features.

Italian Renaissance revealed more of the humans that most of their art revolved around them nature, and reality painting nude and so forth. The Italian was more of real life art that looked real like I mention. They focused on beauty, mind, and power of humans. I did see how they felt that GOD was important, and people should have a relationship to their faith. Art was more of commissioned by the Catholic Church I think that it was more of seeing a visual picture for the artist. They wanted more than a painting they wanted it to come to life

Rome has been known to be around for a long time, for this reason it has gotten the name “the eternal city”. It is also considered to be one of the most beautiful cities in the entire world. The city of Rome used to be home to one of the most powerful empires in the world as well, the Roman Empire. Throughout history, Rome has created amazing works of art, architecture, and an amazing culture. Simply by walking down the street a tourist is able to see wonderful works of art by many well known artists such as, Michelangelo, Caravaggio and Bernini. One will also be able to few the magnificent buildings that lay within the city. Tourists can also see beautiful masterpieces displayed in art galleries or in the museums scattered throughout the city.

2012). The environment and classroom space are separated into ten center areas that help enhance hands on activities with learning materials and manipulatives. These centers include: blocks, dramatic play, toys and games, art, sand and water tables, library (reading center), discovery (science), music and movement, cooking, and outdoor activities. Activity areas are designed to support the specific learning objectives. Similar to Reggio Emilia’s approach teachers assess the students learning and base curriculum off their interests and pace. The creative curriculum approach measures incremental progress to communicate the child’s growth through benchmarks through the learning objectives.
