MANUAL WRITING AND DIGITAL WRITING. GRAPHO-MOTOR ASSESSMENT STRATEGIES AND RESEARCH PERSPECTIVE
Get PDFIn the fourth educational revolution, in educational field, there is an inverse proportionality between the increase in digital writing and the decrease in manual writing. In the learning processes, an increase in difficulty was recorded, which invites us to consider how much the way the child writes words on the paper represents the fruit of his or her experiences of movement in the environment. The study involved a convenience sample of 200 children, in a motor workshop and included the administration of the BHK test for writing assessment, on the experimental and control groups. The survey showed results of improvement, both in terms of quality and speed of writing, most noticeable for the experimental group
CREATIVITY AND GENERATIVE AI IN EDUCATIONAL CONTEXT: CHALLENGE AND FUTURE SCENARIOS. SURVEY ON THE PERCEPTIONS OF STUDENTS AND TEACHERS
Get PDFCreativity is considered a crucial 21st-century competency in many different fields, including education (Treglia, 2020; Patston et al., 2021). Recent advancements in generative Artificial Intelligence (AI), are challenging the notion of creativity as an exclusively human attribute. Generative models of AI, in fact, has exhibited the ability to produce new and original elements by combining pre-existing data (Campione et al., 2023). Whilst the importance of both creativity and AI are well established in educational system (Gabriel et al., 2022), less is known about how students and teacher perceive and value the relationship between AI and creativity. After examining some crucial aspects of human creativity in connection with generative AI in learning environments, this article discusses the results of a survey conducted on a sample of secondary school teachers and university students of educational sciences about the opportunities and challenges represented by the development and implementation of AI systems in educational settings and the interaction between human creativity and AI
INCLUSIVE EDUCATIONAL AND TEACHING PLANNING AS THE KEY TO EDUCATIONAL SUCCESS FOR ALL
Get PDFThis work aims to describe the process of building a portfolio of documents having as a point of reference the bio-psycho-social functioning model, in order to be able to allow the full dissemination of an education characterized by inclusion.In this regard, the work was based on certain questions:Which documents, in line with the ICF's findings, could promote the path towards inclusion at school?How can these documents be introduced into the territory?How can inclusive cultures, policies and practices be disseminated
TECHNOLOGY-ENHANCED TEAM-BASED LEARNING
Get PDFThe paper presents an experimentation of technology-enhanced TBL carried out at the University of Foggia, a.y. 2023-24. This contribution outlines the educational implications of digital TBL and discusses how digital tools have been implemented in the learning environment. The design of instruction implied a partial rethinking of TBL methodology; this included the implementation of self-reflective questions, assessment rubrics and e-portfolio for formative and summative assessment.
ESDM AND ABA FOR EARLY AND INCLUSIVE TAKING CHARGE OF AUTISTIC PUPILS
Get PDFAbstractTo comprehensively frame the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) and the Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), it is necessary to start from the analysis of the pivotal context of application of the two methods, the autism spectrum disorder, and its areas of impairment. ESDM is a behavioral conditioning program that involves early management of the autistic child, which can begin in the age group between 12 and 36 months and can last up to 48-60 months of the infant's life. ABA is a method that involves the practical application of the principles that study human behavior and the strategies and techniques by which it can be conditioned. There is a need for early care of autistic pupils, as early as nursery and kindergarten, and the application of the principles of the ESDM method first and the ABA method, from 48-60 months of life onwards, to achieve educational success and outline new inclusive horizons
DISABILITY AND INCLUSIVE TEACHING: COOPERATIVE LEARNING
Get PDFThe aim of this paper is to reflect on Cooperative Learning as an inclusive teaching methodology. The identification of students' needs requires an increasingly attentive teaching approach to respond adequately to diversity and emerging needs. Starting from scientific evidence and field experiences, we will try to demonstrate how cooperative learning can promote numerous benefits to all students by promoting a real inclusion of pupils with Special Educational Needs.
EDUCATING FOR DIVERSITY IN TEACHING AS REFLECTIVE EDUCATION: THE REFLECTIONS PROJECT
Get PDFIn the European school context, classes are becoming increasingly diverse and bring together students from different cultural identities. Teachers are not always trained to implement appropriate approaches to diversity and find it difficult to keep up with the variety of individual needs within the classroom. Educating for diversity implies education for democracy, inspired and sustained by a cosmopolitan understanding of the world, construed in terms of an inclusive view of the society we live) and of a recognition of the presence of diverse cultural and existential backgrounds and a need for a sustainable approach to the resources we make use of. In the light of this, is presented the European project Reflections- educating for critical thinking, inclusive societies and dynamic engagement - was carried out. The aim of the project is to offer teachers strategies for the implementation of these principles in the classroom. The modules support the development and strengthening of skills, such as critical, creative and empathic thinking. The purpose of the essay is to present the theoretical and methodological principles that inspired the construction of the materials and teaching modules, with specific reference to the educational methodology of the Philosophy for Children (Lipman, Sharp , Oscanyan, 1992; Lipman, 1992; 1996; 2002)
EFFECTS OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION INTERVENTIONS ON EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONS AND ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT IN PRIMARY SCHOOL CHILDREN: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Get PDFRecent studies confirm the contribution of physical education to the development of children's executive functions. The aim of the study is to analyze the relationship between physical activity, executive functions, and academic achievement. The PRISMA protocol was used to conduct a systematic review of SPORTDiscus and Scopus. 443 publications were selected, and 14 studies were included. The results highlight that physical education interventions at school improve executive functions, in particular memory and attention
BEYOND BOUNDARIES: THE HOLISTIC LEARNING APPROACH THROUGH DIVERSITY, AND CREATIVITY
Get PDFThe paper develops the theme of creativity in the service of inclusive education by identifying the key to educational success in the dialogue between vertical thinking and lateral thinking. The theories of complexity, creativity, and emotional education constitute the cultural framework within which studies related to the decrease in creative capacity are analyzed. Simultaneously, possible strategies and educational interventions are suggested to overcome obstacles that hinder the full development of the individua
