Innovative Teaching: Movement for the Psychomotor Improvement of Students.
No full textThis study explores the use of Body Percussion as an innovative approach in teaching, aiming to assess its psychomotor effects on students. By combining movement and music, Body Percussion can be integrated into the physical education curriculum. The experimental research involved 47 lower secondary school students, divided into two groups: an experimental group, where Body Percussion was integrated into physical education lessons, and a control group, which followed a traditional motor coordination programme. After
eight weeks, the results showed a significant reduction in stress levels only in the experimental group and a positive trend in motor coordination improvement in both groups. Although the limited sample size calls for further studies, Body Percussion proved to be a promising methodology for enhancing student health and well-being, suggesting additional research to confirm its long-term effects.
Il presente studio esplora l’utilizzo della Body Percussion come approccio innovativo nella didattica, con l’obiettivo di valutarne gli effetti psico-motori sugli studenti. Combinando movimento e musica, questa attività può un essere proposta integrata al curriculum di educazione motoria. La ricerca sperimentale messa in atto ha coinvolto 47 studenti di scuole secondaria di primo grado, suddivisi in due gruppi, un gruppo sperimentale, con programma di Body Percussion integrato nelle lezioni di educazione fisica, e un gruppo di controllo, con programma di coordinazione motoria tradizionale. Dopo otto settimane, i risultati hanno mostrato una significativa riduzione dei livelli di stress solo nel gruppo sperimentale e una tendenza positiva nel miglioramento della coordinazione motoria in entrambi i gruppi. Sebbene il campione limitato richieda ulteriori integrazioni, la questa metodologia ritmica si è dimostrata promettente per il miglioramento della salute e benessere degli studenti, suggerendo ulteriori ricerche per confermarne gli effetti a lungo termine
Il ruolo dell’educazione al movimento nella crisi contempomporanea in età evolutiva
No full textThe role of movement education in the contemporary crisis in the developing age · Digital hyper-connection, social isolation and economic instability
are limiting children’s opportunities for play and movement, which are crucial for motor and social-emotional development. Reduced physical activity compromises health and the ability to relate, also affecting body identity. The work proposes the importance of new educational methodologies, such as
synchronic movement, to foster healthy, balanced and resilient growth in a global crisis
The paradox of sustainability: Compensatory strategies vs. transformative education. Sincrony in a critical analysis.
No full textSustainability education often relies on compensatory strategies
without rethinking learning models. This study explores the paradox
of sustainability in education, arguing that integrating environmental
competencies into curricula is ineffective unless supported by an
epistemological and methodological transformation. A three-round
Delphi study aimed to identify effective strategies that integrate
bodily experience and environmental awarenes
Gioco corporeo e Body percussion: confluenze di saperi e innovazione per un’educazione inclusiva con focus sull’ADHD
No full textL'inclusione scolastica promuove la partecipazione di tutti gli studenti, rispettando le diversità. Il gioco corporeomotorio, come la Body Percussion, combina movimento e musica, favorendo lo sviluppo di competenze
cognitive, emotive e sociali. Questo approccio multisensoriale è particolarmente utile per i bambini con ADHD,
migliorando la concentrazione, la gestione delle emozioni e il comportamento prosociale. Lo studio esplora i
benefici della Body Percussion come attività trasversale, applicata a bambini con ADHD, e coinvolge un
campione di 75 bambini tra i 9 ei 12 anni, suddivisi in gruppo sperimentale e di controllo. Il gruppo sperimentale
ha svolto attività integrativa all’educazione motoria con Body Percussion mentre il gruppo di controllo ha svolto
un’integrazione con attività coordinativa classica. Valutazioni qualitative da parte degli esperti sono state
condotte pre e post intervento. I risultati hanno mostrato miglioramenti significativi nel gruppo sperimentale per
i parametri attribuibili alle macroaree socio-relazionali, di concentrazione ed emotive. L'attività stimola lo
sviluppo delle funzioni esecutive, potenziando la coordinazione motoria e riducendo lo stress. Questi effetti
supportano l'inclusione scolastica dei bambini con ADHD, offrendo un'opportunità terapeutica e preventiva per
migliorare il loro benessere psico-emotivo e successo educativo. Lo studio suggerisce che la Body Percussion
possa avere un impatto positivo sul trattamento dei bambini con ADHD, ma ulteriori ricerche sono necessarie
per confermare queste evidenze
Study on the integration of peripheral vision in physical education: The body as a tool for learning and balance in adolescents of the technological era.
No full textasbstract: In the digital age, young people are immersed in a technological environment that limits physical movement and promotes fragmented perception, negatively affecting attention and motor skills. This study explores an innovative approach, integrating peripheral vision training into physical education to enhanceboth motor and cognitive aspects. The aim is to counteract the "disembodiment" typical of the post-human era, restoring the body’s central role. Fifty-six adolescents (mean age 12.6 years) were divided into two groups: experimental and control. Both participated in a three-month physical education programme, but only the experimental group received interventions based on the Sicrony method, focusing on pe-ripheral vision stimulation. Cognitive and motor performance were assessed through stand-ardised tests (TMT-B, SEBT, VST) at the start (T0) and end (T1) of the programme.The experimental group showed significant improvements in the TMT-B (p=0.003) and VST (p<0.05) tests, suggesting that body and vision training positively influenced attention and visual recognition. The findings support an integrated educational approach that values the body in the learning process, balancing the impact of technology and fostering balanced development. This perspective positions physical education as a tool to reconcile bodily ex-perience with contemporary technological interactions, supporting learnin

Structural evolution and active tectonics in the Southern Taranto Gulf: insights from seismic reflection profiles analysis.
No full textImpact of digitalisation on social relations: research, reflections and proposals for intervention. Journal of Inclusive Methodology and Technology in Learning and Teaching
No full textThe growing use of digital devices brings risks, such as emotional and
social isolation, as well as identity fragmentation. This can hinder the development of
key skills such as empathy and relational skills, compromising the quality of human
interactions. The "virtual connection" tends to reduce active participation in group
life and negatively affects motor skills. To counteract these effects, the Body Percussion emerges as an innovative alternative, encouraging direct and authentic interactions among young people. The research conducted in schools in Campania and
Lombardy involved students in Body Percussion activities, with the aim of evaluating
its impact on social and emotional development. The observed results show a significant improvement in social cohesion, inclusion and activity appreciation. Body
Percussion stimulates emotional participation and strengthens interpersonal ties,
promoting pro-social behaviours and encouraging collective work. Integrating Body
Percussion into the physical education curriculum could provide an effective response
to the negative effects of digitisation, helping to build more cohesive and resilient
communities, and fostering active and collaborative learning models. In a technology-dominated environment, it is essential to recover forms of concrete and meaningful interactions
