Education Technology for Students with ADHD in Secondary School: Preliminary Results of a Single-Case Study
Full text linkThis paper presents preliminary findings from a single-case study investi-gating inclusive learning through an education technology addressed to students with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) en-rolled in upper secondary schools. The study’s objective was to explore the potential of technology to mitigate challenging behaviors and enhance at-tention, collaboration, and self-control among students with ADHD. Fur-thermore, the study concentrated on the impact of learning coding through the education platform, encompassing the development of positive social and relational skills. The methodology employed is grounded in natural-istic observations and qualitative data analysis. While the data collection process continues, certain intriguing outcomes emerged from interactions with teachers and students involved, suggesting potential future research directions on the application of education technology to students with ADHD
Approcci partecipativi ed emancipativi nella ricerca sulla disabilità. Sostegno alla cittadinanza attiva e realizzazione di azioni socialmente innovative
No full textQuesto articolo affronta il dibattito sviluppatosi intorno agli approcci partecipativi ed emancipativi nella ricerca sulla disabilità. La sua finalità è di rendere evidente l'assunto per dare una risposta alla domanda di ricerca che consiste nel capire fino a che punto la ricerca partecipativa ed emancipativa possa rappresentare un paradigma in grado di contribuire all'emancipazione delle persone disabili e allo sviluppo di una trasformazione delle strutture e relazioni sociali fondamentali.
L'articolo è ispirato principalmente dalla revisione della letteratura accademica e dall'analisi di documenti internazionali, che hanno portato a interpretazioni e proposte per una nuova traiettoria di ricerca nel campo della disabilità.
La prima parte presenta un breve sommario dei principali autori e teorie in merito alla ricerca partecipativa ed emancipativa e al modo in cui questi approcci possono trasformarsi in strumenti in grado di sostenere l'autodeterminazione delle persone disabili nell'ambito della ricerca.
Nella seconda parte si è cercato di suggerire una possibile traiettoria di ricerca, nella quale il paradigma partecipativo ed emancipativo, se applicato a un modello di disabilità come problema di diritti civili, possa guidare la raccolta e l'analisi di dati e informazioni con il coinvolgimento attivo e la partecipazione delle persone disabili, al fine di sviluppare soluzioni innovative, di trasformare le strutture sociali e modificare le relazioni
Participatory approach for the development and implementation of a service of “Smart homes for independent living experiences”
No full textThis experience focuses on the case study realized by the USL Bologna and Emilia-Romagna’s Center for Assistive Technology of Corte Roncati, aimed at developing and implementing a service of “Smart homes for independent living experiences” through a participatory approach. It was aimed at promoting living experiences in apartments through innovative activities for the development of personal autonomy in young adults and adults with disabilities. The Living Lab approach influenced the outcomes of the experimentation in a positive way, as reported by the interviews and the focus groups
TEACHING AND ASSESSING TRANSFERABLE/TRANSVERSAL COMPETENCES. THE CASE OF SOCCES
No full textAs OECD (2009) states: “Globalisation and modernisation are creating an increasingly diverse and
interconnected world. To make sense of and function well in this world, individuals need, for
example, to master changing technologies and to make sense of large amounts of available
information. They also face collective challenges as societies – such as balancing economic growth
with environmental sustainability, and prosperity with social equity. In these contexts, the
competences that individuals need to meet their goals have become more complex, requiring more
than the mastery of certain narrowly defined skills.”
The critical importance of transferable competences in future employment is widely recognized.
However, in most countries the educational practices are still under development and transversal
competences are taught using different methods. Related subjects may have cross-curricular status,
they may be integrated into existing curriculum subjects or they may be introduced as separately.
The transversal competences, as well as other generic skills like creativity or problem solving, relate
to more than one subject area and are more difficult to assess with traditional instruments. Therefore
it is worth exploring what forms of assessment instruments are available for teachers to assess
student progress in these fields. In most countries, a variety of subjects incorporate learning
objectives or learning outcomes related to transversal competences.
The aim of the European project SOCCES (“SOCial Competences, Entrepreneurship and Sense of
Initiative – Development and Assessment Framework) is to develop and pilot a framework for the
methodical assessment for two competences that are very important for working life - namely the
Sense of Initiative and Entrepreneurship, and Social competences. The developed framework will be
translated to a concrete assessment module that can be used in different educational environments.
The module will include a collaborative, virtually enabled assignment and will be accompanied with
virtually enabled teacher instructions.
In this respect the paper has the objective, based on multiple project outcomes as well as on the
evolution of existing educational and assessment practices, to outline and provide food for thought
for defining and analysing innovative ways of teaching and assessing transferable/transversal
competences in the context of higher education
The OERTEST Project: Creating Political Conditions for Effective Exchange of OER in Higher Education
Full text linkThis paper refers to the OERTest project and Open Educational Resources (OER) as support education materials that may be freely accessed, reused, modified and shared by anyone. In this paper we will try to answer the following question: how can the political conditions be created to foster an effective exchange of OERs between Higher Education institutions? The article presents several policy recommendations (intended as lessons learnt from the project) to ensure an effective recognition and exchange of OER between Higher Education Institutions
Designing Trajectories of Research for Understanding Barriers to Inclusion and Emerging Needs of Vulnerable Groups
No full textThe aim of this paper consists in proposing an inclusive and holistic approach in the research of various themes af-fecting vulnerable groups. The point of view adopted to define a research framework and the consequent trajectories of research for understanding emerging needs is based on the inclusive pedagogy, considered as “good pedagogy” (UNESCO, 2000), for its fundamental task to ensure that the gains achieved for a person in a problematic situations become quality for all. The main concepts adopted refer to: active citizenship, self-determination and new ways of understanding complex issues, such as multiple discrimination; multiple disabilities; inclusion in learning and employment; new conflicts and migration; ageing, and also new hopes, such as: active participation; ICT; aids; emancipation; professional competences. The objective is precisely to go beyond the state of the art in order to suggest trajectories of research aimed at understanding existing and emerging needs of vulnerable groups adopting a holistic approach. In order to design and generate innovative strategies and solutions that could reduce those cultural, social, environmental and economic barriers to inclusion
I programmi a sostegno della transizione al lavoro di giovani con disabilità intellettiva: una integrative review.
Full text linkL’obiettivo della presente integrative review consiste nel fornire una mappatura dei programmi di transizione scuola-lavoro rivolti a giovani adulti con disabilità intellettiva realizzati nell’ultimo decennio. I programmi discussi in letteratura potrebbero, infatti, informare potenziali percorsi nel contesto italiano. Tramite il processo di revisione sistematica abbiamo inizialmente identificato il divario nella ricerca, maggiormente focalizzata sull’età infantile e adolescenziale che sull’età adulta delle persone con disabilità intellettiva, e in particolare rispetto ai programmi di transizione al lavoro e alla vita adulta. Per far fronte alla necessità di un approfondimento dei programmi basati su studi empirici, è stato impiegato il metodo della integrative review, perchè in grado di contribuire all’individuazione di pratiche educative basate sull’evidenza. L’analisi e la sintesi dei risultati degli studi selezionati hanno consentito di individuare sei ricerche, che sono state inseguito valutate dal punto di vista della qualità. I risultati sono stati discussi e le implicazioni per future ricerche in questo ambito messe in luce, al fine di arricchire il dibattito sui programmi di transizione rivolti a giovani adulti con disabilità intellettiva
Improving learning abilities and inclusion through movement: the Movi-Mente© method
Full text linkCurrently, challenges regarding preschooler children are mainly focused on a sedentary lifestyle. Also, motor activity in infancy is seen as a tool for the separate acquisition of cognitive and socio-emotional skills rather than considering neuromotor development as a tool for improving learning abilities. The paper utilized an observational research method to shed light on the results of practicing neuromotor exercises in preschool children with disability as well as provide implications for practice
