    Multisensory in the approach of the inclusive educator

    No full text
    The current studies in the field of cognitive sciences of Embodied Cognition, recognize the role of the sensorimotor system in the mechanisms that regulate cognition, creating the premises for a refection in the pedagogical feld on the complex relationship between the body dimension, mental activity and the environment and on the importance of creating educational contexts in which sensory experiences are favored from early childhood. The objective of this work is to look at the development of professionalism, such as that of the educator, which is capable of educating to multisensory experiences in order to facilitate learning, relationships and inclusive processes

    Il seguente lavoro si propone di realizzare una tassonomia inclusiva dei videogiochi, partendo dall’implementazione della tassonomia di Mosna, al fine di utilizzare il videogame come strumento semplesso per promuovere l’agire educativo. Recenti ricerche hanno messo in luce l’utilizzo dei videogame come possibile strumento funzionale volto a realizzare percorsi educativi e promuovere le abilità negli studenti. Le prospettive future prevedono una ricerca qualitative observation per indagare, i punti di forza e di debolezza, di alcuni  gaming  che utilizzano gli studenti della scuola secondaria di secondo grado

    Il ruolo inclusivo dell'educatore professionale socio-pedagogico

    ItIl seguente lavoro propone una riflessione sull'attuale normativa che regolarizza l'educatore professionale socio-pedagogico e gli attribuisce un ruolo collaborativo e di promozione del dialogo con i diversi attori coinvolti nei processi educativi. Nello specifico, l'articolo ha l'obiettivo di orientare l'attenzione su una proposta di formazione volta a promuovere un profilo inclusivo dell'educatore, in linea con il modello bio-psico-sociale della salute. In quest'ottica, l'educatore, oltre ad equipaggiarsi di competenze teorico-pratiche, necessita di acquisire quelle competenze trasversali, come l'osservazione e l'analisi, per la costruzione di un quadro descrittivo dell'educando, comprensivo di "barriere" o "facilitatori" per la progettazione dell'agire educativo inclusivo.EnThe following work proposes a reflection on the current legislation that regularises the socio-pedagogical professional educator and attributes to him a collaborative and promotion role of the dialogue with the various actors involved in the educational processes. Specifically, the article has the objective of directing attention to a training proposal aimed at promoting an inclusive profile of the educator, in line with the bio-psycho-social model of health. In this perspective, the educator, in addition to equipping themselves with theoretical-practical skills, it needs to acquire those transversal skills, such as observation and analysis, for the construction of a descriptive framework of the learner, including "barriers" or "facilitators" for the design of inclusive educational action

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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
