Résumé

Cet article présente les premières données d'une expérience qui se déroule depuis 1984 dans une commune de la province de Bologne. Il s'agit d'une expérience de vie en communauté destinée à des enfants présentant de graves retards dans leur développement, dûs à des conditions de fortes carences familiales.

Le schéma théorique qui sous-tend cette expérience est issu de l'intégration de deux perspectives: la perspective environnementale en psychologie du développement (Bronfenbrenner, 1979), et l'approche interaction-construction (Schaffer, 1985).

Notre contribution vise à montrer que la règlementation de la vie quotidienne, sa stabilité et l'activité structurante des adultes («frame», Kaye, 1982), sont des éléments essentiels d'une réorganisation des processus développementaux.

Abstract

This paper concerns an experiment which begun four years ago (1984) in the province of Bologna, and is still in progress. It deals with a residential community (which we called an «apartment group» because it is, housed in normal city apartments) for seriously deprived children.

The integration of two theoretical perspectives: the ecology of human development (Bronfenbrenner, 1979), and the interactional-constructivist approach (Schaffer, 1984) has provided the theoretical frame of reference.

We described how the regulation and stability of everyday life as well as the «scaffolding» activity of educators, became the crucial factors in promoting the developmental processes.
