Fostering Reading Skills through Simplex Didactics and Music: Creation of an Inclusive Tool for Pupils with Dyslexia.
No full textDuring the last decades, prevalence of pupils with Specific Learning Disorder, and more specifically with Dyslexia, is on the increase in Italian schools. It requires both researchers and teachers to investigate, adapt and adopt simplex teaching strategies. that may foster pupils learning process at primary schools by taking account of their educational needs, their learning styles and preferences. According to these premises, the following article aims to create a teaching tool that may support the reading learning process of pupils with dyslexia, during the first years of primary schools, by adopting the simplex principle of detour and the educational potential of music
Listening as a means of intersystemic balance for inclusion. Some reflections
No full textI processi inclusivi richiedono una predisposizione all’ascolto e, nello
specifico, la capacità di riflettere su ciò che si è ascoltato. Il presente
contributo intende presentare il potenziale dell’ascolto come strumento
di riconoscimento del Sé e dell’altro da Sé. Nello specifico,
intende concentrare l’attenzione sull’idea di suono come spazio del
dialogo tra i diversi sistemi interagenti nel contesto scolastico, al
fine di dare vita a meccanismi di equilibrio mediante i quali possa
emergere il reciproco riconoscimento, valorizzando l’ascolto come
spazio-suono, come sistema di interazione reciproca.Inclusive processes require a predisposition to listening and, specifically, the
ability to reflect on what one has heard. This paper aims to present the potential of
listening as a tool for recognition of the self and the other than self. Specifically,
it intends to focus attention on the idea of sound as a space of dialogue between
the different interacting systems in the school context, to give rise to balancing
mechanisms through which mutual recognition can emerge, valuing listening as
sound-space, as a mutual interactional system
Dall’Archeologia Sperimentale al Virtuale: percorsi esperienziali per la creazione di digital assets nella didattica museale
No full textIl presente contributo propone una riflessione teorico-pratica sui Digital Assets, con particolare attenzione a quelli di tipo musicale, nell’ambito della didattica museale. La ricerca si colloca in un contesto educativo che, negli ultimi anni, ha visto una crescente
esigenza di innovare le metodologie didattiche
attraverso l’uso di strumenti multimediali, tra cui serious games ed edugames. In quest’ottica, i videogiochi educativi possono essere considerati potenziali
strumenti per la progettazione di percorsi formativi specifici, offrendo agli studenti l’opportunità di acquisire competenze tramite esperienze pratiche.This paper offers a theoretical and practical reflection on digital assets, with a specific emphasis on musical assets, in the context of museum education. The primary objective is to underscore the value of digital assets, which play a pivotal role in virtual systems
that facilitate remote access to cultural heritage through educational and interactive approaches. This study responds to the increasing demand, particularly evident in recent years within educational environments, to innovate teaching methodologies
by integrating multimedia tools such as serious games and edugames
INTELLIGENZA ARTIFICIALE E REALTÀ AUMENTATA PER UN APPRENDIMENTO INCLUSIVO: IL MUSEO VIRTUALE SCANITALY
No full textNegli ultimi anni, nell’ambito educativo, è emersa una crescente esigenza di innovare le metodologie didattiche attraverso l’impiego di sistemi di intelligenza artificiale, come le applicazioni di Intelligence Agent e il Natural Language Processing, al fine di rendere i processi di insegnamento-apprendimento più accessibili e inclusivi. La presente ricerca si focalizza sulla creazione di un museo virtuale fruibile attraverso la realtà aumentata, per migliorare l'esperienza di apprendimento degli studenti e promuovere l’inclusione attraverso il BYOD, che si configura come “linguaggio” condiviso in classi eterogenee. La predisposizione di un museo virtuale inclusivo consente agli studenti, guidati dal loro docente, di agire come curatori museali e seguire i principi base dell’esposizione di una collezione di reperti e opere d’arte, secondo criteri tipici della museologia moderna
ENGAGING SOUNDSCAPES AND EDUGAME. EXPLORING THE EDUCATIONAL POTENTIAL OF SIMPLEX DIDACTICS AND MUSIC TO FOSTER PUPILS' ENGAGEMENT IN VIRTUAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS
No full textInteractive and highly engaging virtual learning environments (VLEs) are increasingly recognized as vicarious teaching tools that support skill acquisition throughout life. Recent studies, including those by
Hookham and Nesbitt, highlight the multifaceted nature of engagement in educational settings, focusing on its emotional, cognitive, and behavioral dimensions. This paper examines the role of music and sound within edugames, emphasizing how these auditory elements enhance learning experiences and increase student engagement. Neuroscientific studies suggest that soundtracks, audio effects, and
feedback mechanisms activate specific brain areas linked to user involvement, underscoring the potential of sound to foster active participation. Teachers play a crucial role in selecting or designing edugames that align with educational objectives, utilizing music and sound to motivate learners. This paper proposes the use of simplex didactics as a metacognitive framework to guide teachers in making strategic decisions about audio elements, ensuring that chosen sound effects cater to diverse learner
needs and promote inclusive teaching. Educators can create engaging, flexible learning environments that foster greater involvement and improve educational outcomes by applying simplexity rules. This paper aims to explore how simplexity can help teachers select or design VLEs with sound components that enhance learner engagement
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
