Abstract

Pro-social behaviour stems from a specific social attitude that motivates people to unconditionally help those in a disadvantaged situation. The mass media portray diversity in a way that is often disrespectful of individual differences and thus hinders the development of pro-social attitudes. Studies show that this type of attitude is built from childhood onwards. This raises the question of how and to what extent preschool teachers are able to identify film products suitable for the 3-6 year age group, capable of guiding the teaching activities proposed, starting from the analysis and reflection of the social messages conveyed. The contribution presents a research conducted with a sample of 75 preschool teachers enrolled in the Specialization Course for support activities, who were asked to choose a film they considered suitable for a prosocial pathway and to structure an activity to be carried out in the section. The data collected made it possible to draw up a ranking of ten animated films that could be used in teaching activities aimed at educating prosociality.
