Che cos'è il Primary Years Programme (PYP) dell'IB?
Il Primary Years Programme (PYP) è uno dei 4 programmi IB (PYP, MYP, DP, CP) che si concentra sullo sviluppo degli studenti dai 3 ai 12 anni, aiutandoli a diventare studenti attivi, attenti e che durino tutta la vita. Incoraggia i bambini a dimostrare rispetto per se stessi e per gli altri e a essere attivamente coinvolti nel mondo che li circonda.
The bigger picture
The [Primary Years Programme] is the IB programme for children from 3-12 years old. Children learn through units of inquiry that teach traditional subjects in a non-traditional way. The subjects are learned through a central idea (for example “Entrepreneurs grasp opportunities and gather the resources to turn a possibility into a reality “). This allows subjects to be studied in connection with each other and in the context of the real world. Students ask questions and then research to find out the answers. The programme aims for children to not just learn knowledge, but also to understand concepts (“the bigger picture”), develop skills, think about attitudes, and take action.

Understanding rather than memorizing
Learning in the PYP is done through understanding rather than memorizing. Children learn how to learn, and they see the relevance of what they are learning. This doesn’t only make learning more meaningful, but it also makes it more interesting. The programme allows for a lot of creativity and for choices in the way problems are tackled. This helps build confidence and independence and encourages students to think critically. PYP students learn to understand other people’s points of view and are open-minded and internationally-minded.

Il programma Primary Years Programme (PYP) dell'IB è adatto a mio figlio?
Come accennato in precedenza, l'IB PYP offre un apprendimento basato sulla ricerca, pertanto l'enfasi è posta su come gli studenti apprendono piuttosto che su cosa apprendono. Inoltre, si concentra sulla mentalità internazionale e sulla prospettiva di formare individui capaci di comprendere altre culture e di risolvere problemi globali.
All types of learners
The PYP suits all types of learners—children with very different personalities and backgrounds thrive in the programme. However as learning is hands-on and involves asking questions, discussing, and moving around to find things out, the classroom environment can be different from that of a traditional curriculum. Though the programme is very well structured through the written, taught, and assessed curriculum, teachers will allow students to explore and investigate their inquiries, something that may not happen in other curricula. Children with learning difficulties may find elements of the programme challenging.
