CO-DESIGNING PATHS OF THE “PUGLIA REGIONAL LAW ON EDUCATION IN NATURE: AGRINIDO AND AGRINFANZIA”
Full text linkMaximum The article documents a systemic Participatory Action Research (PAR-s) process that led to the enactment of the first regional law in Italy on nature-based education. The initiative involved the Apulia Region, universities, educational services, and families, fostering the legitimation of outdoor educational practices and activating pathways for awareness and formative co-design
GENERATIVE-AI AS RESOURCE AGAINST THE “BRAIN ROT”
Full text linkIn 2024 “brain rot” has been named the “word of the year” by the Oxford English dictionary and it refers to an uncritical overconsumption of low-quality online content. In this context the Generative AI could be became an educational instrument to fight the brain rot enhancing the critical thinking about texts and images. The Ai, used in a methodologically correct way, could become a key inclusive technology to go beyond the rivalry between image and text
INTERNATIONAL COMPARISON OF TEACHER BURNOUT: UTILISING THE MASLACH INVENTORY BETWEEN ROMANIA AND VARIOUS EUROPEAN CONTEXTS
Full text linkThis article synthesises findings from many studies employing the MBI to assess burnout tendencies across diverse educational settings. A comparative investigation reveals that in Northern and Western European countries, where professional development, mental health support, and enhanced working conditions are prioritised, burnout rates tend to be lower. This study does a comparative analysis of teacher burnout in Romania and various European nations with the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), a recognised tool for assessing emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation, and reduced personal achievement among educators. This research synthesises contemporary empirical studies to analyse cross-national disparities in burnout levels, emphasising notable socio-economic, cultural, and policy-related aspects that influence variations in teacher well-being across Europe.This study examines cultural variations and commonalities in teacher burnout. We employed the Maslach Burnout Inventory Education Survey (MBI-ES) to construct a latent model of burnout across diverse countries. Ultimately this article, underscores the imperative of a coordinated global initiative to improve teacher well-being. By analysing burnout from a comparative European perspective, policymakers and educators can discern best practices and develop focused interventions to enhance teacher retention, work satisfaction, and overall educational outcomes. The Maslach Burnout Inventory is an essential instrument for evaluating and managing burnout patterns in various educational settings. Because of cultural, societal, and socio-economic reasons, teacher burnout is becoming a bigger problem in Europe. The Maslach stress Inventory (MBI) will be used in this study to compare the amounts of teacher stress in different European countries. This study looks at emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation, and personal achievement to find trends and outside factors that affect the health and happiness of teachers. The study adds to our knowledge of how rules in schools, the amount of work teachers have, and support systems affect the number of teachers who get burned out. These findings could help shape policy changes and programs to improve people's health all over Europe
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY LEVELS AND PHYSICAL FITNESS IN ADOLESCENTS: IMPLICATIONS FOR TEACHING
Full text linkRegular physical activity promotes health by enhancing physical fitness (PF) in adolescents; however, daily physical activity levels (PAL) are often insufficient. This study analyzes the relationship between PAL and PF, highlighting positive correlations with cardiovascular and muscular efficiency. An active lifestyle is confirmed as a key determinant of PF during adolescence, and schools can play a crucial role in promoting adolescent health
COGITO ET DISCERE LUDENS. TRAINING COURSES IN PRIMARY EDUCATION SCIENCES
Full text linkMeaningful learning transcends the mere transfer of knowledge, taking the form of a didactic experience that intertwines and harmonises emotion, action and reflection. Within this theoretical framework, the present study explores the Best Practices experienced by Primary Education students in Bari engaged in a workshop training course focused first on the construction of teaching interventions starting from picture books, transformed into opportunities for mathematical learning in a playful way. These experiences were then applied to the design and creation of interactive and inclusive digital books, to support an equitable and accessible education. Finally, space was given to evaluation as a formative process oriented towards metacognition. The analysis, based on the answers to the questionnaire administered to the students, highlights the urgent need for a school that allows the transition from auditorium to laboratorium so as to encourage an active and conscious teaching/learning process
THE METACOGNITIVE EDUCATOR IN THE AGE OF IA: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES
Full text linkAI tools and application environments are revolutionizing the main functions of the educational ecosystem. The teacher’s role is evolving into that of a co-learner (Limone, 2021), within a context where interactions occur with non-human epistemic partners (Moriggi & Pireddu, 2024). This contribution, at the intersection of different theoretical perspectives, offers some reflections on how to consciously integrate AI into teaching
PHYSICAL LITERACY: A NEW LEARNING DIRECTION FOR INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPMENT IN SOCIETY
Full text linkPhysical Literacy (PL) has gained increasing importance as it is not limited to the mere learning of physical skills in physical education, but extends to a holistic approach involving emotional, cognitive and social aspects. The aim of this article is to explore the theoretical models that support PL, to analyse the educational interventions that foster its development and to discuss future perspectives for its integration into social and school contexts
THE CONTRIBUTION OF PHYSICAL LITERACY FOR THE PROMOTION OF PHYSICAL SELF-EFFICACY IN DEVELOPMENTAL AGE
Full text linkPhysical Literacy (PL) is an integrated educational approach that develops motor skills, motivation, and awareness to foster an active lifestyle. Self-efficacy (SE), the confidence in one’s physical abilities, is essential to support motor engagement and skill improvement. Together, PL and SE create a virtuous cycle of learning and motivation, promoting positive experiences that encourage continuous participation and long-term motor development
SUSTAINABILITY AS CARE AND EDUCATIONAL RESPONSIBILITY: A GENERATIONAL CHALLENGE
Full text linkThe paper proposes a theoretical-critical reflection on the epochal challenges facing today’s younger generations. Among these, sustainability is surely one of the most pressing and complex for humanity as it requires investing in intergenerational solidarity. Young people have the potential to lead us to a more sustainable future but it is our collective responsibility to empower and support them in their efforts, ensuring they have the knowledge, tools and educational opportunities to build a more equitable and regenerative world for all living beings
SOCIO-EMOTIONAL SKILLS AND THE CONSTRUCT OF RESILIENCE: HEURISTIC PERSPECTIVES
Full text linkAt a time of rapid global transformations, education must rethink its objectives. Educating for resilience promotes critical thinking and problem-solving, strengthening the emotional sphere. SEL provides useful tools to combine social-emotional skills and resilience, essential to face the present and the future. This approach creates an adaptable, responsive and inclusive learning environment. The analysis of good practices highlights strengths and areas for improvement, offering role models.At a time of rapid global transformations, education must rethink its objectives.
