Civic Education in The Italian Primary School Textbooks: A Systematic Review and Discourse Analysis
No full textFrancesco Pigozzo - Daniela Martinelli, Civic Education in the Italian
primary school textbooks: a systematic review and discourse analysis
The 92/2019 Law on Civic Education has boosted a new wave of civic
“labels”, “keywords” and “activities” inside the Italian textbooks of almost
all disciplinary areas in the school curriculum at all levels. Yet this is a
highly questionable way to help teachers introducing a civic turn into the
whole learning process. In this contribution we will discuss the results
of a systematic review of textbooks officially adopted by Italian primary
schools in the first year of implementation of the new Law (2020/2021).
We scrutinised contents, language and structural features explicitly related
to Civic Education both in self-standing booklets and in volumes of all
other disciplines, for pupils aged from 6 to 11, in a qualitative discourse
analyses perspective that allows us to highlight some recurring epistemological
flaws in the whole editorial offer available. We argue they particularly
hinder key pedagogical objectives about sustainability, participation
and reality-congruent agency
Cittadinanza multiscalare e identità dinamiche. Rappresentazione letteraria di una visione pedagogica attraverso il racconto fattuale di un’esperienza
No full textUna scrittura fattuale a cavallo tra letteratura, pratica scolastica e comunicazione scientifica, al servizio della condivisione e della riflessione in materia di ricerca-azione per il rilancio di una pedagogia critica della cittadinanza democratica, prendendo spunto da un’esperienza di cooperazione italo-francese ma con un paradigmatico e innovativo orientamento epistemologico “multiscalare”. Citoyenneté à plusieurs échelles et identités dynamiques è stato anzitutto un progetto Erasmus+ finanziato dall’Unione Europea, promosso da Francesco Pigozzo e Daniela Martinelli, con il loro Centro di Ricerca CITOYEN.NE.S presso l’Università eCampus, e coordinato dall’Istituto Comprensivo Statale “Viale Legnano” di Parabiago (MI). Il coinvolgimento di altre scuole a Milano e a La Colle-sur-Loup in Provenza, con la partnership strategica dell’Association Européenne des Enseignants – France e delle rispettive autorità locali, ha permesso di realizzare una sperimentazione pilota basata sull’originale curricolo verticale di educazione civica elaborato dai ricercatori-formatori per contribuire alla costruzione di uno Spazio Europeo dell’Istruzione che non sia mera architettura tecnico-burocratica, bensì reale occasione di rilancio per l’educare inteso come sviluppo di autonomie soggettive e solidali di fronte a questioni e problemi comuni. Questo libro è il racconto commentato di un’esperienza pratica e intellettuale che mira a ispirare insegnanti e scuole di ogni ordine e grado in tutta Europa
Citoyenneté à plusieurs échelles et identités dynamiques
No full textUne écriture factuelle entre littérature, pratique scolaire et communication scientifique, au service du dialogue et de la réflexion sur la recherche-action pour la relance d'une pédagogie critique de la citoyenneté démocratique, inspirée d'une expérience de coopération italo-française mais avec une orientation épistémologique « multi-échelles » paradigmatique et innovante. Citoyenneté à plusieurs échelles et identités dynamiques était avant tout un projet Erasmus+ financé par l'Union européenne, promu par Francesco Pigozzo et Daniela Martinelli, avec leur Centre de recherche CITOYEN.NE.S à l'Université eCampus, et coordonné par l'Istituto Comprensivo Statale 'Viale Legnano' à Parabiago (MI). L'implication d'autres écoles à Milan et à La Colle-sur-Loup en Provence, avec le partenariat stratégique de l'Association Européenne des Enseignants - France et des autorités locales respectives, a permis de réaliser une expérience pilote basée sur le programme original d'éducation civique en progression élaboré par les chercheurs-formateurs pour contribuer à la construction d'un Espace Européen de l'Education qui ne soit pas une simple architecture technico-bureaucratique, mais une réelle opportunité de relancer l'éducation comme sphère d’action qui vise à développer et diffuser les autonomies subjectives solidaires face aux enjeux et aux problèmes communs. Ce livre est un récit commenté d'une expérience pratique et intellectuelle qui vise à inspirer les enseignants et les écoles de tous niveaux à travers l'Europe
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
