    Adult Education Policies in Italy

    The social and economic crises that embroil Europe, the flood of migrants, continuing climate change and the loss of biodiversity all focus emphasis on the theme of sustainability. With the Brundtland Report of 1987, sustainability emerged as a name for the ecological struggle against the degradation of natural systems and the loss of biological organisms. Since then, as sustainability became associated with ideas of development and growth, the word entered the world of economics to name a new way of looking at how resources might be exploited which includes the search for new and less damaging models of production and ways of bringing goods to market. William Clark brought the idea of sustainability into the world of epistemology when he postulated a post-normal science (Ravetz, 1999) that questions the linearity and certainty of the old theory-application model by pointing out the complexity of all systems, the plurality and partiality in the perspectives of research, and calls for participative approaches to knowledge. The idea of sustainability has expanded into social and cultural life by becoming an ethical question tied to civic participation, the fight against inequality, the fight against exploitation, and the development of a global mindset. Sustainability entered the world of education relating to the development of the individual’s responsibility and autonomy in various contexts of life and learning. In adult education – assigned the duty of re-examining teaching and learning through the lens of lifelong learning – sustainability deals with the development of a ecological pedagogy that centers on social justice, on equity, on changing lifestyles and societies, on promoting public good and both personal and social agency

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Per una formazione umanistica. Contributo di Elena Marescotti

    I curatori del volume, nello stendere un "manifesto sulla formazione degli adulti", hanno interpellato docenti e ricercatori italiani che si occupano di educazione degli adulti e hanno rivolto loro tre domande: 1) Quale senso ha oggi la formazione degli adulti? Che compiti le possono essere affidati? 2) Alcuni di noi ritengono importante che alla formazione degli adulti debbano essere affidati compiti di sviluppo complessivo della persona in senso umanistico e non solo funzioni strumentali. Condividi questa impostazione? 3) Se la risposta è affermativa, quali metodologie e quali tecniche possono essere utilizzate in coerenza con tale obiettivo? Il volume raccoglie le risposte a queste domande che, nel loro insieme, rappresentano un quadro ricco e articolato delle problematiche dell'EdA in Italia
