    All the most modern currents of studies that deal with the well-being and growth of young people today recognize the need for exercise and movement as a basis for psycho-physical development and as a maintenance of good body and mental health (Slutzky and Simpkins, 2009). Movement is the active tool that allows you to acquire awareness of yourself through the body and self-care through the achievement of the well-being of the body itself. It plays an irreplaceable role necessary to reach, implicitly, but often explicitly, a state of good health, keeping vigilant and efficient all those gears that collaborate in the functioning of a healthy body and serve to maintain a living, thinking and active being for a long time ( Strong, 2005). The importance of the role of the movement must be promoted by the School because it is the fabric in which the new and more in-depth skills of teachers and the additional necessary means can be made available alongside physical education. It was conducted a field research through the APCM-2 protocol (Sabbadini, 2018) on a sample of 281 children. The survey, carried out on a sample of primary school pupils, aimed to evaluate the psychomotor development and cognitive-adaptive functions in relation to sport activity. The results highlight the strong relationship between sport practice and psychomotor and cognitive development. Low levels of cognitive-adaptive functions are sometimes predictors of possible learning disorders and/or school learning problem, if identified early, can be compensated for and monitored with appropriate educational interventions

    Dare al corpo un ruolo centrale nella scuola? Cosa è cambiato e cosa può ancora essere cambiato • Giving the body a central role in school? What is changed and what can still be changed

    There have been numerous attempts to resolve the apparent dualism between body and mind, presumably by joining mutually incompatible tracks. These at- tempts were formally made through the spelling, the creation of compound terms such as “psychophysical”, “psychosomatic”, mind-body, body-mind. They they have all been put forward, as a means of articulating the sense of the human being undivided. In dance, the idea of the body always has priority. The body, which is inextricably linked to dance, is a repository of life experiences: a envi- ronment for reflection and liberation, something we can draw on for help us give meaning to ourselves. Thus, was born the use of the extremely significant term embodiment, which refers to the idea of embodying, personifying, living, perceiving, knowing one’s own world through the body. And this is the matrix of the philosophy of the body or cognition incorporated, which recognizes that peo- ple live through their bodies historical and social context as human beings who think and feel, full bodied and passionate

    Linguaggi artistici per una pedagogia della corporeità

    La modalità più efficace per completare le conoscenze che si acquisiscono man mano è apprendere dalle esperienze acquisite e così sollecitare le abilità creative e metacognitive. Lo strumento per trasmettere le conoscenze e sviluppare più profondamente le peculiari capacità è il linguaggio artistico. Infatti, ponendosi nella prospettiva semiomotoria (Parlebas, 2001), dove possiamo osservare gli atti motori intrinseci al movimento, potremo rilevare gli elementi propri della struttura del movimento danzato e comunicarli ai giovani, per consentire loro di comprendersi, entrare in contatto con le proprie emozioni e dar loro corpo

    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

    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

    L’intelligenza non siede solo nei banchi!” Il gioco senso-motorio nella prospettiva Embodied Centred e i Bisogni Educativi Speciali

    The educational need of the contemporary school context is etiologically differentiated, multi- form and special. This requires planning didactic interventions for each and every one, which consider the difficulties and recognize the excellence of the individual. It is not possible to think of a multiplied and shattered didactic on individual students, much less would be a unique and homologous didactic that does not recognize the differences (Gomez Paloma et alii, 2015). It is necessary to identify teaching tools that are transversal to the differences, which everyone can reach, guaranteeing anyone the achievement of bio-psycho-social well-being (WHO, 2002). Psycho-pedagogical studies and neurosciences affirm that the body and emotions perform an implementation function of learning, influencing “[...] the cognitive, the thought, the decisions, the motivations, the spirit of initiative and autonomy” (Oliverio, 2009). Furthermore, collabora- tion in a tutoring relationship is an incredible learning oppurtunity, useful to all those involved, even for endangered students (Ianes, 2005). In a continuity between school level that takes on the characteristics of circularity, in other words allows to return to the body in and for learning, the aims of this paper is to combine together the potential of Embodied Centered games and the Tutoring benefits, as strategies bearing the same founding values
