La ricerca dipartimentale ai tempi del COVID-19
No full textLa pandemia Covid-19 ha comportato conseguenze e trasformazioni prefigurando scenari inediti sul piano economico, sociale e personale, determinando anche nel campo della ricerca l’urgenza di esplorarne le ricadute. Il volume dà quindi conto delle indagini svolte e in corso, sin dai primi giorni del lockdown, dai docenti e dai collaboratori del Dipartimento di Scienze della Formazione dell’Università Roma Tre, toccando i temi più diversi: dalla didattica a distanza, all’università e nei diversi ordini di scuola, al futuro dei servizi di orientamento, dal lavoro socio-educativo nelle varie tipologie di servizi all’impatto della pandemia sulle comunità, dalle narrazioni ai linguaggi artistici a contrasto di quest’emergenza non solo sanitaria.Si sono così esplorate le diverse educazioni possibili, riassegnando centralità ai processi formativi e al benessere delle persone, provando a tratteggiare nuovi paradigmi e prospettive

Cultural dynamics influencing decision-making during the COVID-19 pandemic: the Italian case
No full text: The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about significant changes to the life of most individuals, worldwide. This study explores the cultural factors influencing decision-making during the pandemic, and is part of the CORNER Project, funded by the Research Council of Norway, aimed at understanding institutional response in the early phases of the Covid-19 emergency in Norway, Sweden, and Italy. Semi-structured interviews with key political-administrative leaders in Italy (N = 35) were conducted and content-analyzed, allowing the identification of the underlying cultural dynamics that played a role in these decisions. Thematic analysis was used to assess the influence of cultural factors on the crisis management and early reaction of institutions and citizens to the spread of Covid. In line with previous studies, and as expected, the individualism vs. collectivism dimension can explain differential health outcomes during the outbreak. In this paper we argue that individualism-collectivism cultural values can also play a pivotal role in public compliance with Covid-19 restrictions, and psychological responses during the pandemic
Implicit and explicit preference of natural, built and artistic environments
No full textThe present research studies the attitudes and behaviour towards museum visits among undergraduate students. From museums they can get an informal education on several topics. Nevertheless, various recent estimates suggest that young people do not visit museums very frequently.
In order to promote museum visits among young adults, it might be important to better understand the impact of the interplays between the social and the architectural features of these places. Very often, the museum architecture itself is considered a work of art that deserves credit.
Several studies, even of an interdisciplinary kind, focused on the interaction between the qualities of museum design (from the architecture to the educational-expositional strategies) and visitors characteristics (Bitgood, 2002).
Two previous studies conducted in Italy (Mastandrea, Bartoli & Bove, 2007; 2009), investigating the experience of the museum visit in different art museums, varying for the art styles of the collections hosted (ancient vs. modern/contemporary art), showed that visitors appreciate very much the artwork collections hosted in the museums (either ancient or modern) but museums characterized by a courtyard and a garden in which natural elements (light, plants, water, etc.) were present together with built objects (works of art, sculptures) were much more appreciated.
The study presented here will continue along the same research line. A total of about 500 undergraduate students of the University of Roma Tre took part to a questionnaire survey.
With regards to the question about the frequency of museums or gallery visits during the last 12 months, results showed that about 30% of the sample did not visit any museum. The explanations for not visiting museums was ascribed to lack of time, or interest; little information about exhibitions; the cost of the tickets. However, the majority of participants stated the importance of museum visits and indicated a potential interest for this specific experience.
In particular, aspects such as the pleasantness of the museum environmental context (the presence of natural elements) may contribute to facilitate a positive approach to museums and consequently the possibility of increasing the number of visits.
A further development of the present research programme is also currently in progress, and will aim at extending these preliminary results in a more systematic way, through a larger study focused on the museum visit experience among young adults, across several European and extra European countries.
Taken together, our preliminary results seem to show that the physical layout of the museum could be an important feature that we should take into account in order to enhance the attractive power of museums, especially in relation to those particular target groups that might be, apparently, more reluctant to be systematically involved in museums and art exhibition experiences
