Laboratorio statistico per l'informazione e la conoscenza: l'esperienza PLS dopo dieci anni di attività
No full textIl volume raccoglie le attività svolte nell’ambito del progetto Piano Lauree Scientifiche di Statistica e nasce dall’esigenza di riflettere sul percorso affrontato in un periodo che va dall’a. a. 2010-2011 all’a. a. 2018-2019, tenuto conto che gli obiettivi del progetto sono stati:
1) orientare gli studenti dell'ultimo biennio della scuola seconda-ria di II grado ad una scelta universitaria consapevole;
2) mettere in atto attività didattiche di autovalutazione e recupero: miglioramento della preparazione degli studenti relativamente alle conoscenze richieste all'ingresso del corso di studio di Scienze Stati-stiche;
3) consolidare e sviluppare le opportunità di crescita professionale degli insegnanti di Matematica della Scuola secondaria di secondo grado.
In questo volume, pertanto, dopo una descrizione delle attività svolte nell’ambito del progetto (capitolo 1), sono stati presentati i risultati ottenuti dalle scuole partecipanti su temi specifici (capitoli 2 - 5) quali: L’attitudine al gioco non sportivo nell’adolescenza (anno 2014), Indagine sulle tematiche ambientali: percezione, informazio-ne, abitudini e aspettative (anno 2017), Atteggiamenti psicosociali sugli usi dei mezzi tecnologici (anno 2018), L’immigrazione e l’integrazione: la realtà e la percezione dei giovani (anno 2019). Infi-ne, sono state riportate alcune delle presentazioni più significative elaborate dagli studenti delle scuole partecipanti.
Il lavoro svolto ha permesso di analizzare attentamente le criticità e gli aspetti positivi di questa esperienza quasi decennale mettendo in evidenza sia le buone pratiche che la necessità di miglioramento di alcuni aspetti del progetto
Consumer perception of attributes of organic food in Italy: A CUB model study
Full text linkOrganic food, consumers and their buying behaviour are well examined fields of research, although there is a lack of consistent findings on consumers' perception about organic food's quality, in terms of healthiness, safety, and environmental sustainability, and on determinants of perceived quality. This study investigates how consumers perceive the quality of organic food, in terms of environmental sustainability, safety, and healthiness. The study also analyses how and to what extent perceived quality of organic food is influenced by the presence of information related to quality on food products' labels and consumers' socio-demographic profile. A survey has been conducted on a convenience sample of Italian consumers, recruited through a snowball sampling technique. An approach based on a Combination of Uniform and shifted Binomial random variables, named CUB model, is adopted to analyse consumers' perceptions in terms of two latent components, feeling and uncertainty. The CUB model approach is suitable for analyses that involve consumers perception. The results suggest that consumers perceive safety of organic food better than healthiness and environmentally sustainable attributes. Findings also highlight that the presence of specific information on food's label contributes to perceive organic food as healthier, safe, and environmentally sustainable: the more the details on food labels, the higher the consumers' perception. Furthermore, consumers' socio-demographic profile plays a significant role: males and females have a different perception of organic food and younger consumers tend to be more prone to buy and consume organic product
Evaluating people's awareness about climate changes and environmental issues: A case study
No full textIn the last decade, environmental issues have become a major topic of public opinion. People have begun to develop increasing environmental awareness and positive attitudes toward ecological matters. In particular, young people have begun to actively participate in environmental challenges by organizing green movements and engaging with policymakers. In this perspective, this study explores two main aspects: 1) awareness of the potential impacts of climate change and of environmental issues in each individual's daily life, and 2) the relationship between attitudes and pro-environmental actions. To this end, we analyse qualitative data obtained from a tailored online survey involving either students from a selected group of Italian High schools or volunteer respondents from the students' acquaintances. A total of 1834 responses are analysed using statistical tools to assess the multiple objectives of the survey. We distinguish between young and adult respondents and examine the relationships between awareness, personal experience, and risk perception in the two groups. We then propose a Multiple Correspondence Analysis that focuses on youth attitudes to examine the factors that influence their propensity to environmental issues and to determine the impact of global green movements on the onset or acceleration of their environmental awareness. Although the results show a more pessimistic view of the threats posed by environmental crises, our results highlight that younger generations have a deeper awareness of environmental conditions and are committed to environmental recovery by adopting “good ecological practices” and “active ecological behaviors.
