Benessere e sostenibilità nei processi educativi
No full textPer realizzare il benessere della persona è indispensabile innescare un processo sostenibile. L’educazione alla sostenibilità coinvolge attivamente la scuola nei processi decisionali ispirando un senso di responsabilità condivisa, che possa essere concepita in una prospettivalifelong learning; infatti, solo attraverso l’apprendimento continuo, le persone possono diventare consapevoli dell’impatto delle proprie azioni sull’ambiente, adottare stili di vita più sostenibili e sensibilizzare le nuove generazioni. Educare al benessere sostenibile vuol dire attivare un processo di formazione sia sul singolo sia sull’intera comunità, per orientare ogni persona ad accrescere comportamenti e atteggiamenti propositivi e a facilitare azioni trasformative significative. Il volume illustra, in modo originale, la considerevole indagine multi-prospettica sugli studi nazionali e internazionali, che caratterizzano la complessa ricerca sul benessere e sulla sostenibilità a scuola e consente ai professionisti dell’educazione di sperimentarsi sul processo di validazione di strumenti di valutazione attendibili ed efficaci
Sostenibilità e Inquiry-Based Laboratory: competenze per la promozione del benessere scolastico
No full textNegli ultimi decenni il tema dell’educazione ambientale e del benessere del cittadino è stato limitato al tempo extracurriculare senza un’adeguata pedagogia. Con l’obiettivo n. 4 “Istruzione di qualità” dell’Agenda 2030 si sancisce il ruolo primario dell’istruzione come motore fondamentale per la realizzazione dell’educazione sostenibile (Bhattacharjee & Debnath, 2022; Leicht et al., 2018; Lundvall & Fröberg, 2022; Malavasi, 2020; Stein et al., 2022).
Da numerose ricerche e studi è emerso che molte delle difficoltà di apprendimento da parte degli studenti, sono dovute non solo ad un uso poco appropriato delle risorse epistemologiche (Schoenfeld, 1992; Windschitl & Thompson, 2006), ma anche alla pratica della lezione frontale che risulta essere poco motivante. È per tale ragione che la presente ricerca intende applicare l’approccio Inquiry-Based learning all’educazione sostenibile in quanto questo rende l’apprendimento una vera ricerca scientifica (Linn et al., 2004), incoraggiando il processo di co-costruzione del sapere e, attraverso il learning cycle approach (Bybee et al., 2006), garantirne la durata nel tempo. Il progetto di ricerca si articola in due fasi: una prima fase di indagine esplorativa e di validazione dei due strumenti “DidLab” e “SostDidLab”, attraverso i quali si indagano le competenze laboratoriali e sostenibili dei docenti delle scuole secondarie di primo e di secondo grado della Sicilia occidentale; e una seconda fase in cui, attraverso le attività laboratoriali, sul tema della sostenibilità, progettate secondo il modello IBL, si prevede un aumento significativo delle prestazioni indicative lo sviluppo di competenze sostenibili utili a garantire la promozione del benessere per lo studente.In recent decades, the topic of environmental education and citizen well-being has been restricted to extracurricular time without adequate pedagogy. Goal No. 4 'Quality Education' of the 2030 Agenda enshrines the primary role of education as a key driver for the realisation of sustainable education (Bhattacharjee & Debnath, 2022; Leicht et al., 2018; Lundvall & Fröberg, 2022; Malavasi, 2020; Stein et al., 2022).
From research and studies it emerges that many of studient’ learning difficulties are not only due to an inappropriate use of epistemological resources (Schoenfeld, 1992; Windschitl & Thompson, 2006), but also to the practice of frontal lecturing which is not very motivating.
It is for this reason that this research intends to apply the Inquiry-Based learning approach to sustainable education as this makes learning a true scientific enquiry (Linn et al., 2004), encouraging the process of co-construction of knowledge and, through the learning cycle approach (Bybee et al., 2006), guaranteeing its durability. The research project is divided into two phases: a first phase of exploratory investigation and validation of the two instruments "DidLab" and "SostDidLab", through which the laboratory and sustainable competences of the teachers of first and second grade secondary schools in western Sicily are investigated; and a second phase in which, through the laboratory activities, on the topic of sustainability, designed according to the IBL model, a significant increase in performance is expected, indicating the development of sustainable competences useful to guarantee the promotion of student well-being
Il dialogo tra Capability Approach e la form-azione delle competenze digitali
Get PDFIl presente contributo si focalizza su una sfida educativa impellente della contemporaneità: la form-azione della cittadinanza digitale. A partire dal Quadro di riferimento Europeo per le competenze digitali dei cittadini, viene svolta una riflessione basata sull’interconnessione tra il Capability approach e le competenze digitali. Il Capability Approach, sviluppando un orizzonte di senso eticoeconomico-politico basato su: “functioning”, capability” e “agency”, completa e orienta il framework teorico-metodologico dettato dai riferimenti normativi europei sullo sviluppo delle digital skills. L’indagine sulle digital skills può essere un’opportunità per orientare l’azione formativa, in riferimento allo sviluppo delle competenze digitali, verso la piena libertà e il potenziamento della coscienza critica dei cittadini nell’effettuare delle scelte per il raggiungimento di standard formativo-professionali desiderabili.This paper focuses on an urgent educational challenge of the contemporary age: the form-action of digital citizenship. Starting from the European reference framework for citizens’ digital skills, the authors develops a reflection based on the interconnection between digital skills and Capability Approach. The latter, developing an ethical-economic-political sense horizon based on: “functioning”, “capability” and “agency”, completes and directs the theoretical-methodological framework dictated by normative requirements on the development of digital skills. The reflection built can be an opportunity to direct the training action, in order to promote the development of digital skills, towards full freedom and the enhancement of the critical awareness of citizens in making choices for the achievement of desirable educational-professional standards
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
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
