PHILOSOPHICAL PARALLELS: Loris Malaguzzi & David Hawkins
Wednesday, 12 February, 14
To be effective it requires that our
system of resources be intrinsically varied and
qualitatively rich, for that is the
condition under which such a
system...will be maximally
suggestive of new goals...
David Hawkins
To start with
then, there is the
environment.

The teachers need only to
observe and listen to the children, as they continuously
suggest to us what interests
them, and what they would like
to explore in a deeper way.
Loris Malaguzzi
We should first involve
children in observation and
inquiry with the tools
they already
possessed, and in this
way help them to
create or assimilate
sharper tools and more adequate
knowledge.
David Hawkins

The desired outcome is that
full symmetry be acquired and learners turn into
teachers.
David Hawkins
Stand aside for awhile and
leave room for learning, observe carefully what
children do, and then, if you
have understood well,
teaching will be different
than before.

From Louise
Loris Malaguzzi has helped me to understand that to teach is to be humble in
the presence of learning.David Hawkins has taught me that
interaction with materials in a physical sense is essential to the process of learning
in the abstract.
From Diane
Loris Malaguzzi has helped me realize my capacity to see beyond
the wall to the beyond.
David Hawkins has taught me the theory underpinning what I have
known in my heart; the importance of messing about.
From Rosalba
Loris Malaguzzi inspires me each day to reflect on who we are as learners and educators. He has helped me understand the importance of teacher and child as partners, together on a journey of
life and learning and living together in this journey of unexpected turns.
David Hawkins has intrigued and heightened my relationship with materials and how it is important for educators to use them to test theories and in turn how we observe children using
these same materials to make meaning of their own theories.
