Educational Robotics: Robotics from fantasy medium to medium for fantasy
No full textEducational Technologies can be used both as mediators for didactic activities in different specific contexts, and as self-sustaining tools in various settings, acquiring a relevant role in competence building and in developing an attitude to a scientific approach.
In this contribution we propose a systematic overview of theorical assumptions in order to activate some Robotic experiences and didactic paths in which students act as researchers, continuously discovering and verifying if their intuitions are valid. Robotics shows a fantasy dimension which motivate the students and engage them in skill acquisition processes
Robotica educativa
No full textL’uso delle tecnologie nella didattica ha visto costantemente queste come mediatori per attività in contesti disciplinari. Tuttavia è possibile individuare campi nei quali le tecnologie possono essere usate in modo autonomo rispetto ai diversi percorsi curriculari. In questi settori esse assumono particolare valenza nella costruzione di competenze e nel fornire attitudine al metodo scientifico ponendo gli studenti in un atteggiamento da ricercatori che continuamente scoprono e verificano la validità di personali intuizioni, secondo una coerenza ricerca-sperimentazione
Virtualità al quadrato: proposta di sperimentazione di un ambiente didattico universitario in Second Life
No full textIl presente lavoro intende esplorare le possibilità offerte da
Second Life in ambito online-learning, sperimentando un
percorso di allestimento di ambienti di apprendimento in
ambito universitario attraverso metodologie didattiche e
strumenti che si avvalgono della sinergia fra due tecnologie:
da una parte, la ricostruzione tridimensionale di un contesto
formativo accademico utilizzando la piattaforma Second Life
valorizzata dall'introduzione di nuovi tool, dall'altra
l'interfacciamento con Moodle, nella delineazione di un
possibile utilizzo a livello didattico
Educational Robotics between narration and simulation
No full textThis contribution wants to show two of the different approaches to Educational Robotics: narration and simulation. One can be independent from another, but they can be put in a sequence made of two steps: first, the creation and organization of a story, then its realization on a stage, where the robot represents a character in the story itself and acts in the real world. You move from a flexible phase (narration) to a rigorous one (simulation).
Robotic experiences in educational contexts are particularly important, not only as mediators for activities in disciplinary fields, but also as tools for activating abilities through a didactic approach based on action. According to Varela, Thompson and Rosch (1991), objects are not seen by extracting characteristics from the visual system, but through the visual guide of action. Robotics allows to recognize the world by living, not by observing or listening to stories. Robotic, thus, becomes Educational: you can move from the observation of a device to the immersion in the device itself; through the device, moreover, knowledge can be developed from the awareness of the real world’s segment you are exploring
Appunti sull'uso ludico delle tecnologie
No full textIl testo, scritto a più mani, vuole essere una tavolozza di diverse voci sull’unico argomento del rapporto tra gioco e tecnologie; tali termini possano congiungersi ed integrarsi in modo proficuo ed efficace ed entrare anche nel mondo dei più piccoli.
Il saggio si propone quindi come una finestra su teorie e pratiche aventi ad oggetto il rapporto tra gioco e tecnologie in contesti sia scolastici sia extrascolastici e nasce come condivisione dello stato delle ricerche avviate dal gruppo degli autori dei contributi qui presentati.
Si avvale dell’apporto di alcune coautrici che hanno affrontato nel proprio lavoro di tesi aspetti aventi a tema proprio tale rapporto, che ora condividono in questo testo.
Dal punto di vista dei contenuti si possono intravvedere due nuclei: nel primo il focus è centrato sul rapporto fra gioco, tecnologie, infanzia; nel secondo, prendendo spunto dalla letteratura, si punta l’attenzione sull’influenza che le tecnologie esercitano, sia sulle nuove generazioni, sia sugli adulti

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
