Indagare le transazioni identitarie dei futuri insegnanti di sostegno per accompagnare la loro transizione professionale
No full textThe training of support teachers in Italy has experienced, and is still experiencing, many reform processes. For teachers of all types of school, the current phase envisages that the possession of a teaching qualification is a formal requirement to attend a specialization course in order to become a support teacher. This condition imposes, in particular for teachers in secondary schools, both of the first and the second level, a transition from a pathway mainly based on academic knowledge (a degree, master’s degree and teaching qualification) to a pathway centered on psycho-pedagogical and didactic knowledge. This transition is not a linear and sequential trajectory, but rather a complex and articulated space-time, in which it is necessary to reorganize one’s own knowledge, rethink one’s own professionalism and, in some cases, re-imagine oneself. Starting from these conceptual categories, the present contribution illustrates the training-research device designed and used to investigate and support the identity transactions of teachers who took part in the first cycle of the training course for the achievement of the specialization for didactic support at the University of Siena (Italy). Riassunto: La formazione degli insegnanti di sostegno in Italia ha attraversato e sta attraversando vari processi di riforma. La fase che si sta attualmente concludendo prevede, per gli insegnanti di tutti gli ordini di scuola, l’abilitazione all’insegnamento come requisito di accesso ai corsi di specializzazione per il sostegno didattico. Tale condizione impone, in particolare per gli insegnanti della scuola secondaria di I e II grado, una transizione da un percorso principalmente basato su conoscenze disciplinari (laurea, laurea magistrale e abilitazione all’insegnamento) a un percorso centrato su conoscenze psico-pedagogiche e didattiche. Tale transizione non si configura come un passaggio lineare e sequenziale, ma come uno spazio-tempo complesso e articolato, in cui è necessario riorganizzare i propri saperi, ripensare la propria professionalità e, in alcuni casi, ri-immaginare se stessi. A partire da queste categorie concettuali, il contributo illustra il dispositivo di ricerca-formazione progettato e utilizzato per indagare e sostenere le transazioni identitarie degli/lle insegnanti che hanno preso parte al primo ciclo del Corso di formazione per il conseguimento della specializzazione per il sostegno didattico presso l’Università degli Studi di Siena
La transazione fra costruttivismo e realismo
No full textIn the present contribution the notion of transaction is investigated against the backdrop of the contemporary debate about realism and constructivism (and postmodernism). In particular, the hypothesis is advanced that this idea may help us to evade the risk of one-sidedness that lurks within both stances. After outlining the bone of contention between the realist and the constructivist understandings of (the theory of) education, a specific, influential interpretation of Dewey’s philosophy in terms of constructivism is discussed in order to show that a transactional attitude is more promising for the elicitation of the full potential of Dewey’s theoretical device. Riassunto: Nell’articolo si investiga la nozione di transizione sullo sfondo del dibattito contemporaneo su realismo e costruttivismo (e postmodernismo) e si avanza la tesi che essa possa contribuire a evitare il rischio di unilateralità che risiede in ambedue le posizioni. Dopo aver delineato l’oggetto del contendere nelle concezioni realiste e costruttiviste di (teoria della) educazione, si discute una specifica, e influente, interpretazione costruttivista della filosofia di Dewey al fine di mostrare come un atteggiamento transazionale è più promettente per sprigionare a pieno il potenziale del dispositivo teorico deweyano
Legal Capacity of Persons with Intellectual Disabilities
No full textArticle 12 UNCRPD encompasses the universal recognitionof legal capacity of all persons with disabilities on anequal basis with others, both in terms of identity and agency.Persons with intellectual disabilities and mental health problemscould have their legal capacity deprived or restricted underthe institution of protective measures, such as guardianship.Article 12 of the UNCRPD reframes the issue of legalcapacity in terms of giving support to persons with disabilitiesthat may need to take decisions, while deleting any systemwhich restricts their right to take decisions on the grounds ofdisability. Under art.12 UNCRPD States have an obligationto replace systems based on substituted decision-making by asystem ensuring free choice through support in decision-making,implying the duty to take measures to provide any personwith disabilities the support needed in the expression of theirchoices, not to decide for them «in their best interest»
A Declaration of a Strange and Wonderfull Monster / Un annuncio riguardo a uno strano e meraviglioso mostro
No full textIt is the story of the birth of a headless child occurred in Kirkham, Lancashire: the civil war rages in the country and the victory of the Puritan Parliament is around the corner, when Mrs. Haughton publicly claims her role as a realist and Catholic dissident and for this is punished with the birth of a headless son. In this case, the monstrous birth is not intended to be a punishment for a morally reprehensible action, but for a heterodox ideology

Pedagogia dell’invecchiamento ed autobiografia musicale
No full textThe thread that holds this paper is the inclusion, meant as a vector of a virtuous circle between democracy and pedagogy. In this specific case, it concerns the inclusion of the older persons, a category strongly proved by the neoliberalist and globalist dynamics of the last years. The author, who assumes a predominantly humanistic point of view, claims the central roleof memory and of the narratives producing those existential representations, experienced by man throughout one’s life. However, this paper presents a multidisciplinary approach that tries to broaden its perspective to a plurality of knowledge, including pedagogy of aging, neuroscience and music. In brief,musical autobiography (Strollo, 2014), as a pedagogical device, represents a synthesis and an opportunity that the author will try to highlight.Riassunto: L’articolo ha come traccia costante il tema dell’inclusione quale vettore di un circolo virtuoso tra democrazia e pedagogia; in questo caso specifico si tratta dell’inclusione degli anziani, categoria fortemente provata dalle dinamiche neoliberiste e globaliste degli ultimi anni. Le posizioni dell’Autrice, che assume un punto di vista prevalentemente umanistico, hanno come centrale il ruolo della memoria e delle narrazioni produttrici di quelle rappresentazioni esistenziali che l’uomo abita per tutta la vita. Tuttavia questo scritto presenta un approccio che cerca, in un’ottica multidisciplinare, di allargare la propria prospettiva ad una pluralità di saperi per una maggiore efficacia: dalle conoscenze della pedagogia dell’invecchiamento a quelle delle neuroscienze piuttosto che a quelle eminentemente musicali. L’autobiografia musicale (Strollo, 2014), infine, quale dispositivo pedagogico, ben rappresenta una sintesi ed un’opportunità che proviamo a mettere in luce
La ricerca emancipatoria come strumento di empowerment Un esempio applicato all’analisi della disabilità nel contesto palestinese
No full textOver the last decades the traditional approach to researchbased on the absolute centrality of the professional researcherhas been challenged by the spread of participatory approaches.The most radical approaches to participatory research havebeen perceived as processes through which marginalizedgroups get self-awareness and can actively influence society.Here we can find a common ground between participatoryresearch and the emancipatory approaches rooted in theFreirian emphasis on “conscientisation“ and “emancipation”.Moreover, interesting applications of participatory and emancipatorymethods draw on connections with the philosophicalfoundations of Amartya Sen’s Capability Approach. Startingfrom this theoretical background this paper will show howemancipatory approaches can be used to simultaneouslycollect information on disability and induce an emancipatoryprocess that can involve persons with disabilities. Thepresented case study will focus on an emancipatory researchabout the interaction between gender and disability baseddiscriminations in Palestine
Sabba elettrici. Corpo, mente e visione nel fantastico tedesco del primo Novecento
No full textThe revival of the Schauerroman in the 1910s is marked by a mixture ofelements resulting, on one hand, from the 19th century romantic, irrationaland occultist-esoteric traditions and, on the other one, from positivisticculture and concepts, i.e. the scientific and technological innovationsand the psychical and psychological analytical investigations atthe beginning of the century. In the works of authors like Hanns HeinzEwers, (1871-1943), Karl Hans Strobl (1877-1946), or the group whoedited Der Orchideengarten (1918-1921), fantastic impulses gatheredand prompted ‘deceptive’ visions of reality. The goal of such writerswas to grasp the sensation of other realms of reality where to get intouch beyond the common perception of the world, through an enhancementof artificial, chemical, alchemical or technological nature,and whereby the Modern and the Premodern conflated into each other.This contribution aims at analyzing Strobl’s 1900s and 1910s worksas well as some short stories by other authors of the same period
