    The process of teaching assessment is traditionally the sole task of teachers; the introduction of innovative methods makes it possible to overcome summative assessment by giving space to the democratic participation of students, the use of new processes, such as self-evaluation and shared assessment, referring to formative assessment. The aim of this work is to propose a reflection on the role of evaluation in university training and, specifically, in the initial training of Physical Education teachers.Il processo di valutazione dell'insegnamento è tradizionalmente compito esclusivo degli insegnanti; l'introduzione di metodi innovativi consentono di superare la valutazione sommativa dando spazio alla partecipazione democratica degli studenti, all'uso di nuovi processi, come l'autovalutazione e la valutazione condivisa, facendo riferimento ad una valutazione formativa. Scopo del presente lavoro è di avviare una riflessione sul ruolo della valutazione nella formazione universitaria e, in particolare, nella formazione iniziale degli insegnanti di Educazione Fisica

    The crucial role of adapted physical activity (AFA), addressed to elderly people or people with chronic degenerative diseases, in counteracting the decline of functional capacities and in positively affecting the maintenance and/or improvement of motor skills necessary for autonomy and participation in activities, the expansion of social rela- tionships, and the maintenance and/or acquisition of new roles in the community is now widely recognized. The physical distancing imposed by the health emergency from the new coronavirus SARS CoV-2 and the consequent closure of gyms has led to the discontinuation of physical activity courses aimed at people with chronic degenerative diseases and the elderly. In Umbria a pilot project was initiated to transfer the courses that were held in presence to a digital platform. The work presents the results of a survey that aimed to find out the perception of participants in online physical activity courses with respect to meanings, motivations, expectations, advantages and disadvantages, and those in the gym

    In a world that relies more on mobile apps, especially with the emergence of COVID-19, which accelerates this process, we considered using mobile apps in special education, especially medical rehabilitation and physiotherapy in adolescents. The research aimed to check if adolescent compliance may increase and if they became more interested in the rehabilitation process because, in most cases, adolescent rehabilitation is the long run. The research consisted of mobile apps Google Sheets and WhatsApp for 19 days. Adolescents were separated into experimental (6 participants) and control groups (6 participants). They had been performance athletes, leisure athletes, and sedentary. They had to complete in Google Sheets every day after they were doing their exercises. The experimental group received a message from the physiotherapist they were working with through WhatsApp every day to remind them about the exercises. At the end of the research, we found out that the adolescents that are receiving text messages are more likely to do their exercises at home than the adolescent that do not receive text messages. Because the research aimed to see if the compliance with the treatment is increasing by using mobile apps, we can confirm that mobile apps can increase adolescent compliance. Our research considers that using mobile apps can increase compliance with the treatment, and it might bring long-term benefits to the rehabilitation process
