This scoping review explores the role of educational space not only as a physical context but as an active factor shaping learning and development from early childhood. A search across three databases identified 31 studies. Thematic analysis revealed four interconnected areas that foster optimal conditions for learning and development: the learning environment (indoor and outdoor), play, relationships, and the use of technologies.
Questa revisione dell’ambito indaga il ruolo dello spazio educativo non soltanto come contesto fisico, ma come fattore attivo che modella l’apprendimento e lo sviluppo fin dalla prima infanzia. La ricerca condotta su tre database ha portato all’inclusione di 31 studi. L’analisi tematica ha permesso di individuare quattro aree interconnesse che favoriscono condizioni ottimali per l’apprendimento e lo sviluppo: l’ambiente di apprendimento (interno ed esterno), il gioco, le relazioni e l’uso di tecnologie.
