    COGITO (ET MOLIOR) ERGO SUM: BETWEEN EMBODIED COGNITION AND THE PERFORMING ARTS

    No full text
    Neuroscientific discoveries since the second half of the last century have revealed the mechanisms underlying mind-body functioning, going beyond Cartesian dualism and highlighting a relationship of interdependence between the two elements in a complex stimulus-response system. The results obtained restored to the body dimension a role of primary importance in the elaboration of experience, which is first and foremost of a sensory-perceptual nature. The assumption on which this dialogue hinges is that the mind, which is thus embodied, cannot be separated from the body in the mechanisms of knowledge acquisition; therefore, the aim of this paper is to investigate the ways in which the performing arts can be configured as innovative embodied didactic methodologies, starting with an epistemological excursus that recovers, with a historical slant, psychological and neuroscientific theories on emotions and perceptions in educational practice, continuing with the description of some concrete examples to be adopted in formal educational contexts

    The experience of learning in natural and open environments further enriches this education by enabling students to connect directly with nature, experiencing learning in real-world settings and developing a deeper connection with the world around them; it creates emotional connections and fosters a sense of belonging to the global community, contributing significantly to students; psychological well-being by providing them with a sense of purpose and accomplishment in contributing to a sustainable future. Learning paths in natural and open environments provide a unique space for personal growth, allowing students to experience learning firsthand, positively influencing their perception of themselves and the world. environmental and museum instructional design, we highlight effective methodologies for engaging students of all ages in a meaningful learning experience that also points to the understanding and preservation of the environment. The study aims to examine, in particular, how the integration of educational approaches in natural and open environments, together with museum education, can contribute significantly to the construction of individual identity, sense of citizenship, and psychological and social well-being of students. We emphasize the need to invest in educational and museum practices that promote sustainability in order to build a more equitable, resilient and future-oriented. Environmentally oriented pedagogical approaches not only foster ecological awareness, but also play a key role in shaping a sense of responsibility and connection to the natural world. Finally, we explore the future prospects of integrated environmental education, highlighting its key role in shaping conscious, change-oriented citizens

    In the context of recent educational research, the interest in the role of the performing arts as a strategic factor in an inclusive curricular design aimed at achieving the educational success of all students, retracing the regulatory stages and the neuroscientific discoveries that have established the educational value. Among all the facets of art, the one investigated and deepened with particular attention concerns music with its repercussions on the learning of subjects characterized by special and non-special educational needs. To circumscribe this field of research, the Master "Inclusion of Disabilities and Social Fragility through Ensemble Music and Performing Arts" was examined as a virtuous example of commitment in the training of qualified teaching staff. The University of Foggia carried out this fruitful collaboration between highly specialized figures belonging to this institution and the Higher artistic, musical and dance training

    The first section of this contribution will be followed by an epistemological analysis of the dynamics, paradigms and canons that have influenced the definition and diffusion of the construct of inclusion in social and school contexts. It will deal with how neoliberal individualism and “ministerial pedagogy” have contributed to slowing down the emergence of the inclusive phenomenon, and how this has assumed a central role in the Italian social and scholastic framework only in the early nineties, owing to the spread of the model promoted in Disability Studies. The second section will deal with Disability Studies and how it has had an impact on mitigating the phenomenon of social and school segregation, promoting the diffusion of the social model and the concept of relative ability. The third section will elicit the characteristics of the inclusive approach in reference to the BES categories identified in the national and international scenario. The fourth and final section will deal with the methodological aspects and good practices useful for inclusive teaching

    Il disegno, di alta qualità compositiva e facente parte della inedita collezione cortonese di Paolo Gnerucci, viene qui interpretato come opera di scuola di Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Si tratta di un progetto per un finestrone di facciata di chiesa, molto vicino alle composizioni del senese Benedetto Giovannelli Orlandi, allievo di Bernini, come per la chiesa di S. Raimondo al Refugio a Siena
