PLAY-MOTOR-SPORTS COMPETENCE IN THE EXPLORATORY QUESTIONNAIRE AREAS OF PARENTING DEVELOPMENT IN THE FAMILY AND AT SCHOOL
Full text linkStarting from the assumption that today, more than ever, we are witnessing a fragilisation of family ties and aware of the shared responsibility of the current educational-parenting crisis, the QEASCG (Romeo, 2024), an acronym for Exploratory Questionnaire for the Development of Parenting Competences, is grafted on, an avalutative pedagogical tool for investigation and action, capable of storing up the most relevant conceptualisations on the modern-contemporary family and the research and reflections on the structures it has taken on (civil unions, de facto cohabitations, extended family models, step families, etc.)The aim of this contribution is to briefly present this interdisciplinary investigation tool, which takes an initial ‘snapshot’ of Physical Literacy in the family, as well as a possible definition of play-motor-sports competence in the school context, also through an analysis of ministerial documents. We also wanted to emphasise the playful and creative dimension of education both at school and in the family, within the possible definitions of Physical Literacy (PL), in order to restore to play (individual, social, social with rules, traditional, skill, memory, street, etc.) the dignity it rightly deserves within the developmental pathway of children, understanding it as a fundamental prerequisite for their development at the same time as physical, cognitive, metacognitive, emotional-affective, social-relational and moral
SCHOOL WELL-BEING AS A KEY DETERMINANT OF EDUCATIONAL QUALITY. WHAT IS THE TEACHER’S ROLE?
Full text linkThis study explores the link between scholastic well-being and teaching professionalism. In today's diverse educational context, the teacher acts as a socio-emotional mediator, fostering inclusion and student engagement. Promoting a positive school climate through emotional skills and innovative strategies is crucial. A theoretical-empirical approach highlights methods for creating learning environments that support students’ holistic development
TRAINING FUTURE EMPLOYMENT SERVICE PRACTITIONERS IN CONDUCTING SIMULATED JOB INTERVIEWS THROUGH IMMERSIVE VIRTUAL REALITY: A FEASIBILITY STUDY
Full text linkThe study analyzes the feasibility of a university workshop for prospective employment service providers in administering simulated immersive virtual reality (IVR) interviews. Phenomenological analysis of post-simulation interviews with 18 female students, interpreted with Bowen's (2009) framework and the literature on IVR and situated learning, shows good feasibility, with recommendations for calibrated integration into educational pathways
EFFECTS OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY INTERVENTION AMONG UNIVERSITY STUDENTS: A NARRATIVE REVIEW
Full text linkL'attività fisica è fondamentale per il mantenimento della salute fisica e mentale, ma rimane trascurata, soprattutto tra gli studenti universitari. Nel rivedere la letteratura riguardante l'integrazione dell'intervento di attività fisica nell'istruzione, sono emerse le pause per il movimento in classe. Questa revisione narrativa descrive la fattibilità di incorporare le pause per il movimento nelle lezioni universitarie in termini di accettabilità, praticità ed efficacia. Inoltre, descriviamo i loro risultati fisici e cognitivi per l'intervento acuto e cronico. Tuttavia, è impossibile trarre conclusioni definitive a causa dell'eterogeneità nei componenti dell'intervento, sembra che le pause per il movimento in classe siano fattibili e possano essere prese in considerazione per l'incorporazione nelle lezioni universitarie per aumentare il divertimento. Studi futuri dovrebbero impiegare misure oggettive per determinare gli effetti sui livelli complessivi di attività fisica e sui risultati cognitivi
DEAFLYMPICS AND STEAM BETWEEN ALLIANCES AND INNOVATION
Full text linkThe inclusion of deaf people in sports finds an opportunity in Deaflympics, addressing communication and relational challenges. The STEAM approach offers innovative teaching strategies to overcome these barriers, enhancing athletes' visual-spatial skills. The integration of advanced technologies and inclusive methodologies allows to improve participation, promoting equitable and accessible education for the global well-being of deaf athletes
UDL IN MULTIFACETED LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS RETHINKING TEACHERS’ INCLUSIVE ROLE AND ACTION
Full text linkThe Universal Design for Learning is a tool making learning universally accessible; it highlights strategies suitable all to students (CAST, 2011) with different potential (Gola, 2024). As to neuroscientific research, UDL suggests an inclusive teaching mode fit to diverse learners (Rose & Meyer, 2006; Cottini, 2017). The contribution reports the adaption of the UDL Reflection Questionnaire (TKI-CAST) for teachers, using the Explanatory Design: Participant Selection Model (Creswell, Plano Clark, et al., 2003)
AI AND VR AS ARCHITECTURES OF INCLUSIVE LEARNING ECOSYSTEMS: REDESIGNING EDUCATION THROUGH UNIVERSAL DESIGN FOR LEARNING 3.0
Full text linkThe Universal Design for Learning (UDL) 3.0 guidelines emphasize the uniqueness of each learner and the variety of learning styles, highlighting the role of digital technologies in supporting inclusive education (CAST, 2024). This study, through a review of the existing literature, explores how the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Virtual Reality (VR) environments enables immersive and adaptive learning experiences. These experiences align with the principles of UDL 3.0, contributing to a more equitable, accessible, and personalized educational approach
HYBRID LEARNING SPACES AND INCLUSIVE EDUCATION: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY ON AUGMENTED LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS AND VIRTUAL WORLDS IN DADA SCHOOLS
Full text linkThis exploratory research paper analyzes the use of virtual worlds and hybrid learning walls in a DADA school, highlighting how Phygital Learning fosters inclusion, motivation and the development of digital and soft skills. Participatory design of educational spaces shows the effectiveness of wellness-oriented immersive environments, according to the UDL framework
BEYOND STATISTICS: YOUTH SPORTS DROPOUT AS AN EDUCATIONAL ISSUE
Full text linkThis qualitative research, based on interviews and focus groups with teachers, coaches, parents, and young people, explores the dynamics of youth sports dropout. Motivational, relational, family, school, and economic factors emerge as key influences. The study suggests rethinking sport as an educational and inclusive space, valuing well-being, the right to play, and pedagogical strategies to foster long-term participation
ENHANCING EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONS IN EARLY CHILDHOOD: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF INTERVENTIONS IN PRESCHOOL SETTINGS
Full text linkIn recent years, the scientific community has increasingly emphasized the importance of executive functions (EFs) in early childhood development. Yet, educational strategies to enhance EFs in preschool, especially in low-SES contexts, remain underexplored. This systematic review investigates the relationship between learning environments and the development of EFs in preschoolers, aiming to identify school-based interventions that support equitable development and learning for all children
