La paura di iniziare: come evitare i compiti scolastici
No full textIn questo articolo vengono presentati i risultati relativi a una ricerca condotta in diverse comunità per minori allo scopo di indagare la struttura delle interazioni relative alle principali routine quotidiane. La trasposizine sul piano formale di tali sequenze osservate nella vita quotidiana è stata realizzata tramite l'impiego di tecniche di scaling (scale cumulative di Mokken) applicate a ogni insieme di comportamenti che definisce una particolare routine oggetto di intervento educativo. Nello specifico in questo art icolo sono analizzate le sequenza relative al sostenere il rendimento scolastico attraverso i compiti pomeridiani. La sequenza che meglio descrive l'ansia relativa alla scuola prende forma e contenuto nella routine dei compiti che è sinteticamente descritta nella scala "non ce la faccio" che ha complessivamente un valore significativo per tutte el comunità esaminate
Student's social representations of education in residential care for adolescents at risk
No full textThis contribution studies the social representation of residential education for adolescent at risk, in a group of 130 students training to become educators. The students performed q-sorts (free grouping of items) utilizing 73 cards. On each card was written a negative behavior of the adolescents (22 cards), a positive behavior (21 cards) or and educational act (30 card). Similarities between items were defined by the number of respondents placing the items together in the same group (simple co-occurence); dissimilarities between respondents were defined by the pairbond measure for distance between categorizations. Scaling the items regarding adolescent behavior resulted in a configuration which grouped items in life areas such as "aggression", "respect for the house rules" and so on. The educational acts showed a different organization in terms of interaction style between educators and adolescent- symmetric as between equals or asymmetric as hierarchical- and by interaction intensity, from non conflictual collaboration to stressful relations.
The paper presents evidence that these two configurations could underly the sort of nearly all (90%) respondents, and discusses the relevance of these results with respect to the proposal made by exponents of the structural approach to social representation
The precursors of mathematics learning: working memory, phonological ability and numerical competence.
No full textThis research aims at identifying the precursors of mathematics learning at the beginning of primary school. This paper analyses longitudinal data to investigate whether the relationship between basic abilities and mathematics learning is causally interpretable, rather than one where cognitive abilities are correlated to early mathematics learning in a cross-section design. The present study tested 170 children at the beginning and the end of first year of primary school. Linear structural relations, causally interpreted, were used to analyse the relations between cognitive abilities and mathematic achievement. The model showed that tests of working memory and counting ability are the most discriminating and efficient as precursors of early mathematics learning. In our data, phonological ability is not involved in mathematics learning ability, and in the presence of the cognitive measures included in the model, intelligence level does not directly influence mathematics capacity

No full textThe existence of a significant correlation between alcohol use and crime has long been acknowledged in the scientific literature. Moreover, alcohol use constitutes a serious public health problem. In order to ascertain the existence of significant relationships among alcohol use, victimization and delinquency among young people, and to describe the nature and characteristics of such relationships, a database was set up to record the results of the "International Self-Report Delinquency Study 2". This database was created by selecting a sample of young people (N=57,771) of both sexes, aged between 12 and 16 years, in 25 European countries. The research focused chiefly on the role of alcohol use and the various modes of alcohol consumption, and sought to analyze the influence exerted by different life situations (age, sex, lifestyle, friendships and personality traits). Alcohol consumption proved to be a very widespread phenomenon among young people, particularly among youths who commit crimes and those who are victims of crime. Moreover, it emerged that the abuse of alcohol was the consumption modality most closely associated with delinquency and victimization. A risky lifestyle, a lack of self-control, a positive attitude toward violence and an involvement in deviant youth groups are factors significantly associated with involvement in the use of alcohol. The results yielded by the present study indicate that alcohol use is strongly associated with delinquency among young people in Europe, and that so-called "binge drinking" is the consumption modality most closely associated with both offending and being offended agains
