Percorso di sviluppo professionale degli e delle insegnanti: un\u27analisi empirica delle relazioni tra variabili chiave
Cet article explore de manière empirique les relations entre les variables clés du développement professionnel du personnel enseignant. Menée auprès de 55 personnes enseignantes ayant suivi le MOOC « Le plan d’intervention autodéterminé : un soutien à la réussite des élèves en difficulté d’adaptation », l’étude révèle un lien positif entre les pratiques des personnes enseignantes en matière de plans d’intervention autodéterminés et leur sentiment d’efficacité personnelle à enseigner efficacement aux élèves en difficulté d’adaptation. De plus, ce dernier est associé positivement à leur satisfaction à l’égard de la formation et de l\u27accompagnement reçus. L’étude permet aussi de constater une relation positive entre la satisfaction du personnel enseignant participant et l\u27adoption de comportements autodéterminés chez leurs élèves.This article empirically explores the relationships between key variables in teachers\u27 professional development. Carried out with 55 teachers who had completed the MOOC “The self-determined intervention plan: supporting the success of students with adjustment difficulties”, the study reveals a positive link between teachers\u27 self-determined individualized education plan practices and their sense of self-efficacy in effectively teaching students with adjustment difficulties. The latter was also positively associated with their satisfaction with the training and coaching they received. The study also found a positive relationship between participating teachers\u27 satisfaction and their students\u27 adoption of self-determined behaviours.Dieser Artikel untersucht empirisch die Zusammenhänge von Schlüsselvariablen der Professionalisierung von Lehrpersonen. Die Studie wurde mit 55 Lehrpersonen durchgeführt, die den MOOC „Der selbstbestimmte Interventionsplan: Unterstützung des Erfolgs von Schüler*innen mit Anpassungsschwierigkeiten” absolviert haben und zeigt einen positiven Zusammenhang zwischen selbstbestimmten, individualisierten Bildungsplanpraktiken und ihrem Selbstwirksamkeitsgefühl beim effektiven Unterrichten von Schüler*innen mit Anpassungsschwierigkeiten. Letzteres hängt zudem positiv mit der Ausbildungszufriedenheit und Coaching zusammen. Die Studie zeigt ausserdem einen positive Zusammenhang zwischen der Zufriedenheit der Lehrpersonen und dem selbstbestimmten Verhalten ihrer Schüler*innen.Questo articolo esplora in modo empirico le relazioni tra variabili chiave nello sviluppo professionale del personale docente.

(Re)producing an ‘Islamic-Byzantine’ Artist: The Orientalization of Fahrelnissa Zeid’s Modernist Practice
This article challenges the interpretation of Fahrelnissa Zeid’s (1901–1991) mid-century abstract production as influenced by Islamic and Byzantine art. The study analyzes culturalist presentations of the artist’s exhibitions in Paris galleries (1949–1969) and later international exhibitions (1990–2024), comparing them with the artist’s own statements and alternative reviews. I argue that both twentieth century and contemporary interpretations of her abstract practice are orientalist in character. The original elision of her voice reflected mid-century colonial ideology and promoted a new Parisian lyrical abstraction movement, while contemporary interpretations elevate globalized exhibitions’ marketing over scholarship. These culturalist interpretations exclude Fahrelnissa Zeid from modernism’s narratives by framing her practice as a-historic cultural atavism. I argue that Fahrelnissa’s approach to abstraction was shaped by her preoccupation with all-encompassing other-worlds. Her transition to abstraction followed a figurative expressionist phase and was triggered by paradigm-shifting visual shocks, leading to a two-decade gestural expressionist production. Fahrelnissa Zeid’s artistic vision also differs from some Global South modernist artists’ practice who sought to hybridize their national cultural imageries with European visual styles
Paris and Everywhere Else: Intercity Movements in the Lives and Works of Saliba Douaihy, Shafic Abboud, and Saloua Raouda Choucair
Saliba Douaihy, Shafic Abboud, and Saloua Raouda Choucair were three Lebanese artists who traveled to Paris in the process of becoming canonical artists in their home country. But Paris was not their only destination. For all three of these artists, their intercity movements produced an experience of cosmopolitanism that was circulatory and nonhierarchical. This cosmopolitanism did not flow only one way. Rather, it pooled as artists took advantage of opportunities to travel and moved back and forth between different transnational hubs. This article explores how cosmopolitanism operates, as a pattern of movements and a mode of exchange, and questions the connections among cosmopolitanism, modernism, and abstraction. Drawing on recent scholarship to define cosmopolitanism as a mixture of languages and a density of encounters, I argue that artists such as Douaihy, Abboud, and Choucair exemplified the linguistic phenomenon of heteroglossia in the visual arts. These artists approached abstraction not as a style to imitate but rather as a language to use, one easily interchangeable with the others they already spoke fluently. I propose that if we, too, approach abstraction, metaphorically, in linguistic rather than stylistic terms, then we will develop the tools to reformulate modernism as expansively global
Mona Hatoum’s Other Story: “Third World Post-modernism” in 1980s Britain
During the upheaval of the early civil war months in Lebanon in 1975, Mona Hatoum (b. 1952) found herself stranded in London, where she decided to study art. In the early 1980s, she graduated from the Slade School of Art, where she immersed herself in postmodern thought and the concurrent development of critical theory in the United Kingdom. Inspired by artistic movements challenging the norms of contemporary British art, she shaped her artistic approach by blending the artistic, social, and political realms. The ideas of Rasheed Araeen gave her a conceptual framework, exploring his reflections on Third World art, postcolonialism, questions of identity, and the notion of “black artist” in the United Kingdom. This article aims to examine Hatoum’s involvement in British Black Arts through her activities with Rasheed Araeen, presenting a fresh analysis of key works that assess their critical impact. While she is now a globally recognized artist, there has been limited research dedicated to the phase of her life when she existed on the fringes of art history during her youth in Beirut, then working in the then-contested field of performance and video, and often being considered a migrant artist, or as she once wrote: a black one. Drawing from an exclusive interview with the artist, this article offers an intersectional approach to both western art history and that from the SWANA (Southwest Asia and North Africa) region, shedding new light on this crucial period in her artistic development and its broader implications for understanding diverse artistic narratives
Beirut’s Sursock Museum in the 1980s: Inclusion and Exclusion in a Decade of Conflict
This article examines the curatorial approaches and exhibition practices of Beirut’s Sursock Museum during the 1980s, a decade marked by civil war and socio-political fragmentation. Following a seven-year closure, the museum reopened in 1982 and resumed a limited but symbolically charged programme. The study explores how the institution navigated inclusion, representation, and legitimacy in this fraught period, focusing on logistical constraints in a divided city, the formalist strategies of group exhibitions—especially the Salons d’Automne—and shifting criteria for artistic recognition. Drawing on archival material, press coverage, and curatorial documents, it positions the museum’s wartime programming as a case of institutional resilience, symbolic manoeuvring, and cultural gatekeeping. Particular attention is given to the perspectives of excluded or self-excluded artists, such as Mahmoud Amhaz, Mohammed al-Kaïssi, and RoseVart, whose critiques complicate the museum’s claims to neutrality. By interrogating jury composition and the political and aesthetic implications of their choices, the article contributes to debates on institutional critique, historiographic curating, and canon formation during conflict, reframing the 1980s as a contested terrain of curatorial agency and cultural significance rather than a lost wartime decade
Parents\u27 perception of the promotion of physical activity as part of the Purzelbaum project in Swiss daycare centers
Introduction Already in early childhood, physical activity (PA) is important for healthy development. Parents are a significant influencing factor on PA behavior (Su et al., 2022), and are therefore, involved in the “Purzelbaum”-daycare project to promote PA (radix, 2011). Purzelbaum is a one-and-a-half-year training program that certifies “movement-friendly” daycare centers upon completion. This study examines whether the participation and perception of PA by parents differs in daycare centers with or without Purzelbaum certification.
Methods Between February and April 2024, parents from daycare centers in various Swiss cantons were invited to complete an online questionnaire about PA in daycare centers. In addition to demographic data, five questions assessed the perception of PA. On a Likert scale, parents rated the extent to which they felt that PA is part of the daycare center\u27s daily routine, the importance of PA, and the extent to which children have the opportunity to be physically active. In addition, they were asked to what extent parents are informed by the daycare centers about the topic of PA and whether the daycare centers offer parent-child activities involving PA. The Fisher-Freeman-Halton exact test (in SPSS) was used for analyses.
Results Parents (n=353; mean age=37.93, SD=5.24; 86% completed Bachelor; 73% female; mean # of days children spent in daycare=2.39, SD=1.00; 84 Purzelbaum and 278 non-Purzelbaum daycare centers) completed the questionnaire. Age and education differed significantly between the two groups (p=.033 and p=.006, respectively). No group differences were for sex and number of days children spent in daycare (ps>.05). Parents from Purzelbaum daycare centers are more likely to feel that PA is part of everyday life (mpb=3.83, SD=.41; mnpb=3.60, SD=.63; p=.023), that it is highly valued (mpb=3.70, SD=.54; mnpb=3.21, SD=.74; p<.001) and that the children can be physically active at any time in the daycare center (mpb=3.61, SD=.54; mnpb=3.36, SD=.77; p=.034). They also stated more frequently that the daycare center informs them about the child\u27s PA behavior (mpb=3.44, SD=.65; mnpb=2.82, SD=.95; p<.001) and that there are parent-child activities involving PA at daycare center festivals (mpb=3.10, SD=.88; mnpb=2.34, SD=.93; p<.001).
Discussion/Conclusion Parents of children in Purzelbaum daycare centers consider PA to be more present in the daycare center than parents of children in non-Purzelbaum daycare centers. They also seem to be better informed about the children\u27s PA behavior and benefit more frequently from joint PA in the daycare centers. Purzelbaum therefore appears to have a positive influence on parents. Whether the perceived PA affinity of the Purzelbaum daycare centers influences PA in the families and whether the PA behavior of the children is actually influenced by the Purzelbaum certification needs to be investigated in further studies.
