Fundamentals of Environmental Education and Education for Sustainability. A digital course for primary school teachers
No full textIl contributo presenta la struttura e approfondisce parte dei contenuti del videocorso «Fondamenti di educazione ambientale ed educazione alla sostenibilità per la scuola
primaria» realizzato entro il progetto di dottorato PON in Scienze Pedagogiche
dell’Alma Mater Studiorum Università di Bologna «Educare alla sostenibilità, formazione degli insegnanti, mondo editoriale» (37° ciclo). Il corso è stato sviluppato in collaborazione con la casa editrice GiuntiEDU – partner del progetto di dottorato –, curato da Elisa Cappuccio e Stefano Piastra e offre un’introduzione alle discipline dell’educazione ambientale e alla sostenibilità nella scuola primaria, obbligatorie dal 2020 entro l’educazione civica. I cinque moduli realizzati decostruiscono misconcezioni e stereotipi esistenti, focalizzandosi su alcuni nuclei tematici di base (la differenza tra crescita e sviluppo, la conservazione naturale, la nascita e la definizione del concetto di sviluppo sostenibile). Vengono approfondite linee guida italiane e internazionali, possibili metodologie didattiche e, infine, presentate delle proposte didattiche per la scuola primaria.The paper aims at discussing the structure and partially examine the contents of the digital course, in Italian language, «Fundamentals of Environmental Education and Education for Sustainability for primary school» («Fondamenti di educazione
ambientale ed educazione alla sostenibilità per la scuola primaria»). The course unfolded within the Ph.D. project «Educating for Sustainability, Teacher Training, and Publishing Industry» in Pedagogical Sciences at the University of Bologna. It was developed in collaboration with the Italian publishing house GiuntiEDU – partner of the Ph.D. project – by Elisa Cappuccio and Stefano Piastra, and it provides an introduction to environmental education and education for sustainable development at the primary school level. The five modules of the course deconstruct misconceptions and stereotypes related to the disciplines, and they focus on
some fundamental themes (such as nature conservation, the definition of the sustainable development concept, and so on). National and international guidelines and teaching methodologies are also examined in depth, and some possible classroom activities are provided
L’Activation du Développement Vocationnel et Personnel per un’educazione inclusiva
No full textIl contributo presenta il percorso di ricerca che ha coinvolto 182 studenti universitari, 254 alunni e 20 docenti della scuola secondaria di primo grado nei mesi di ottobre-dicembre 2014; l’intervento ha previsto la progettazione, costruzione e sperimentazione di una serie di attività attraverso le quali gli insegnanti hanno potuto sviluppare la capacità di progettazione e di scelta del proprio futuro professionale negli alunni, partendo dai contenuti delle discipline e utilizzando la metodologia canadese dell’Activation du Développement Vocationnel et Personnel, creata da Pelletier, Boujold & Noiseux alla fine degli anni 70’ del secolo scorso, che riconosce gli insegnanti quali mediatori strategici dei processi di inclusione scolastica e sociale.The present research is part of the varied landscape of studies and researches related to the personal and professional maturation process and inclusive education. The contribute illustrates a research path which involved 182 university students, from october to december 2014. The project concerned the design, construction and testing of a series
of activities through which teachers were able to help pupils develop the ability to design and chose their future career, moving from the disciplines contents and thanks to the Canadian methodology of Activation du Développement Vocationnel et Personnel (Pelletier, Boujold & Noiseux, 1974), validated in Sicily (Cappuccio, 2003, 2009, 2012, 2015), which recognizes teachers as strategic brokers of school inclusion processes

Il caso Mangold e l'evoluzione della giurisprudenza comunitaria sul principio di non discriminazione
No full textIl capitolo offre una ricostruzione sistematica dell’evoluzione del principio di non discriminazione nel diritto dell’Unione Europea, utilizzando il caso Mangold come punto di osservazione per spiegare la trasformazione strutturale del principio di uguaglianza nel quadro europeo. Lo studio analizza lo sviluppo storico, funzionale e giurisprudenziale del principio e la sua consolidazione come principio generale del diritto dell’Unione europea. L’apporto individua le implicazioni sistemiche del caso Mangold ed esamina la sua ricezione nella giurisprudenza successiva
A community programme to reduce salt intake and blood pressure in Ghana
No full textBackground
In Africa hypertension is common and stroke is increasing. Detection, treatment and control of high blood pressure (BP) is limited. BP can be lowered by reducing salt intake. In Africa salt is added to the food by the consumer, as processed food is rare. A population-wide approach with programmes based on health education and promotion is thus possible.
Methods
We carried out a community-based cluster randomised trial of health promotion in 1,013 participants from 12 villages (628 women, 481 rural dwellers); mean age 55 years to reduce salt intake and BP. Average BP was 125/74 mmHg and urinary sodium (UNa) 101 mmol/day. A health promotion intervention was provided over 6 months to all villages. Assessments were made at 3 and 6 months. Primary end-points were urinary sodium excretion and BP levels.
Results
There was a significant positive relationship between salt intake and both systolic (2.17 mmHg [95% CI 0.44 to 3.91] per 50 mmol of UNa per day, p < 0.001) and diastolic BP (1.10 mmHg [0.08 to 1.94], p < 0.001) at baseline. At six months the intervention group showed a reduction in systolic (2.54 mmHg [-1.45 to 6.54]) and diastolic (3.95 mmHg [0.78 to 7.11], p = 0.015) BP when compared to control. There was no significant change in UNa. Smaller villages showed greater reductions in UNa than larger villages (p = 0.042). Irrespective of randomisation, there was a consistent and significant relationship between change in UNa and change in systolic BP, when adjusted for confounders. A difference in 24-hour UNa of 50 mmol was associated with a lower systolic BP of 2.12 mmHg (1.03 to 3.21) at 3 months and 1.34 mmHg (0.08 to 2.60) at 6 months (both p < 0.001).
Conclusion
In West Africa the lower the salt intake, the lower the BP. It would appear that a reduction in the average salt intake in the whole community may lead to a small but significant reduction in population systolic BP
