Physical education and sport in the Campania region
Full text linkThe didactic of physical activities in the school, while exercising the individual technical skills, never loses sight of the unity of knowledge and invites the child to reflect on his actions, on his mental and physical changes, but also on his knowledge. For this reason, the school is differs from sports federations and associations, and it must rise to the role of leadership in the sport education. After these necessary preambles, it seems now particularly interesting to introduce the scenario laid out by ISTAT (Italian Statistics Institute) survey “100 statistics to understand the country we live in”. The ISTAT analysis shows how Campania is the region after Sicily with the highest percentage of people with a sedentary lifestyle. It seems that in Campania, the primary school fails in its leadership role with regard to the sports education and the motor practices and in supporting non-sedentary lifestyles. In fact, in Campania the sport practice is very low and the level of giving up is particularly high. This discussion starts from this point and should be considered as a pilot study to evaluate a possible contributory cause of the status here outlined, i.e. the perception that teachers have of their own basic and technical skills in the motor field. It is not forbidden to think that, if this survey shows a widespread perception of lack of ability, this will adversely affect the motor teaching and be at least partly responsible for the situation described herein. Therefore the aim of this research is to monitor the level of the basic skills and of the motor teaching skills of primary school teachers in the region Campania, and the way they perceive the movement, highlighting any possible critical factor
Corporeità, didattica e disabilità. Prospettive di ricerca sull’uso della lingua italiana dei segni
Full text link2012 - 2013Il presente lavoro di ricerca dal titolo “Corporeità, didattica e disabilità. Prospettive di
ricerca sull’uso della Lingua Italiana dei Segni” analizza l'excursus storico, educativo e
normativo della lingua dei segni attraverso una metodologia teorica – argomentativa a
carattere descrittivo – comparativo, fino a giungere alle attuali prospettive di ricerca che
confermano le potenzialità dell'esperienza corporea come possibile strumento di
facilitazione dei processi formativi a supporto della didattica grazie anche all'uso di
innovativi software didattici, come il “Software di Dattilologia Fonologica Bimanuale”
approvato dal Ministero dell'Istruzione, dell'Università e della Ricerca.
In sintesi il lavoro analizza, dopo un breve excursus storico sull'educazione dei sordi sia
all'estero che nel nostro paese, la lingua dei segni con i suoi parametri formazionali
(luogo, orientamento, configurazione, movimento) e componenti non manuali (la
postura del corpo, gli spostamenti degli occhi, del capo, delle spalle e dell'espressione
del viso), permettendo di evidenziare la loro multi planarità ovvero l'impiego dello
spazio segnico (che si amplia dalla parte estrema del capo alla vita e da una spalla
all'altra) nelle sue 4 dimensioni: le tre dimensioni spaziali accessibili al corpo del
segnante (avanti-dietro; sopra-sotto; destra-sinistra) e la dimensione temporale (il tempo
di produzione del segnato-enunciato). .. [a cura dell'Autore]This research work entitled “Corporeity, education and disability. Research perspectives on the use of the Italian Sign Language” analyses the historical, educational and normative development of the Sign Language using a theoretical-argumentative methodology with a descriptive-comparative character and then examines the current research perspectives which confirm the potentiality of using body experience as a possible instrument to facilitate the educational process and a valid support for the education thanks to the use of innovative software such as “The software and phonological bimanual dactylology” approved by the Ministry of Education, Universities and Research. In synthesis this research work analyses, after a short historical description of Deaf educational system abroad and in our country, the Sign Language with its formational parameters (place, orientation, configuration, movement) and non-manual components (body position, eyes, head and back movements, facial expressions) allowing to define their multiplanarity or rather the use of the signing area (which expands from the extreme part of the head to the waist and from one shoulder to another) in its 4 dimensions: the three spatial dimensions accessible to the signer‟s body (front-back, above-below, right-left) and temporal dimension (the production time of the sign enunciated). ..

The value of didactic-pedagogical skills of canoe-polo technical
Full text linkCanoe-polo is a team sport. It is played in over 50 countries around the world. The role of coach concerns not only the technical – tactics skills but also the managerial, organizational and logistical skills of the players. From the point of view of teaching methodology, the canoe polo coach must be aware of the fact that his role always involves the role of teacher, and to excel in the performance of this function, must possess a number of characteristics that define the area of his specifically pedagogical jurisdiction The aim of the research is to define the elements characterizing the performance model in canoe polo that are the most important in developing a technique, tactics and conditional plan in order to provide the coach the most appropriate knowledge to organize a didactically coherent process to the requires of the group – team. The experimental research was carried out on two subjects of the 2010 Italian champions (CN Posillipo in Naples), during eight matches of the Italian Canoe Polo Championship. The research project provided for the monitoring of the heart rate (HR) during the races by teams polar heart rate monitors system, with a sampling rate of 5s per subject. The acquisitions were subsequently analyzed with a dedicated software Polar Pro Trainer 5.2. The results in this pilot study show, canoe-polo like many other team games where you use a ball, it is an intermittent sport with a high metabolic intensity (4.8)
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
