Il liceo musicale nella filiera formativa: identità, nodi e prospettive
No full textObiettivo di questa ricerca è quello di analizzare il liceo musicale all’interno del sistema formativo italiano, ambendo alla ricerca di senso per la cultura musicale nello scivoloso campo della scuola secondaria superiore. Dal punto di vista metodologico, quindi, sono stati eletti a punti di partenza i settori della storia: quello della storia della scuola, intesa come luogo istituzionale del sapere e quello della storia dell’insegnamento della musica nella scuola secondaria italiana letta come procedere di direttive e scelte di campo le cui motivazioni abbracciano la più generale storia della musica che è sfondo integratore della disamina qui svolta.
Per questo motivo la prima parte della ricerca ambisce a restituire il panorama complessivo dello studio della musica nella scuola secondaria italiana ricostruendo le ragioni della sua scomparsa, dall’assenza nell’inossidabile tradizione gentiliniana alla continua mancanza di una riorganizzazione unitaria. Le prospettive più incisive sono vistosamente segnalate dall’indice nei suoi momenti cruciali: i progetti Brocca, l’operato Berlinguer nella riforma dei conservatori e delle accademie (legge 508/99) e nella riorganizzazione dei cicli, le sue conseguenze nella riforma Gelmini. L’intenzione è stata quella di dilatare le norme per leggervi le traiettorie immaginate per l’istruzione musicale secondaria andando ad interrogare tanto le fonti normative (audizioni ed interrogazioni parlamentari) quanto il dibattito pubblico attorno all’avvio dei nuovi licei (quotidiani nazionali, riviste scientifiche pedagogiche, musicologiche e della pedagogia musicale sia dei conservatori che delle università). La disamina storica termina con la presentazione dei risultati delle indagini MIUR svolte in seno ai rapporti nazionali del 2014 e del 2016 che sono andati a chiudere la cornice attorno allo stato dell’arte dei licei.
La seconda parte della ricerca intende illustrare i meccanismi specifici di funzionamento del liceo musicale entrando più nel vivo della quotidianità delle scuole (convenzioni scuola-conservatorio, esami di ammissione, esami di stato, certificazione delle competenze). Da queste letture risulta la complessità e la specificità di funzionamento dei meccanismi istituzionali, burocratici, didattici ed organizzativi che ruotano attorno al lavoro dei licei. Per condurre una linea unitaria di riflessione è stato quindi necessario illuminare la ‘filiera formativa’, cioè il più generale rapporto con le scuole medie, ‘ad indirizzo’ e non, i nuovi conservatori riformati quali momento di frattura con l’istruzione pubblica e l’università nella sua veste di formazione del pubblico e degli insegnanti. Al termine di questa seconda parte le ragioni dell’isolamento culturale della musica nella cultura italiana appaiono connotate in senso storico, scolastico e normativo.
Il panorama così delineato non apre a reali misure risolutive ma evidenzia un destino segnato e compiutosi. La terza parte del lavoro vuole fornire perciò delle riflessioni che possono introdurre preziose ricette mitigatrici dell’oblio delineato. Si tratta di una prospettiva pedagogica costruttivista che poggia su un approccio interdisciplinare e che contempera da una parte le riflessioni di Della Casa, La Face e Bruner e, d’altro lato, la preziosa visione sull’educazione del Reggio Approach. Risorse e strumenti metodologici non ambiscono ad indicare soluzioni definitive ma suggeriscono una via per sviluppare la diffusione della cultura musicale nello specifico del liceo e mutuabile nel più generale contesto della scuola secondaria appoggiandosi alla riflessione sulle funzioni formative (Della Casa/La Face Bianconi).The objective of this research is to analyze the musical high school within the Italian educational system, aiming to search for meaning for musical culture in the slippery field of upper secondary school. The work is structured in three distinct parts.
From a methodological point of view, therefore, the sectors of history were chosen as starting points: the history of the school, as an institutional place of knowledge, and the history of music teaching in Italian secondary schools, read as a progression of directives and field choices whose motivations embrace the more general history of music, the integrative background of the examination carried out here.
For this reason, the first part of the research aims to restore the overall panorama of the study of music in Italian secondary schools by reconstructing the reasons for its disappearance, from its absence in the stainless Gentile tradition to the continuous lack of a unitary reorganization. The most incisive perspectives are clearly highlighted by the index in its crucial moments: the Brocca projects, Berlinguer's work in the reform of the conservatories and academies (law 508/99) and in the reorganization of the cycles, its consequences in the Gelmini reform. The intention was to expand the rules to read the imagined trajectories for secondary musical education by questioning both the normative sources (parliamentary works) and the public debate around the start of the new high schools (national newspapers, scientific pedagogical articles, musicological and music pedagogy reviews from both conservatories and universities). The historical examination ends with the results of the MIUR investigations carried out within the national reports of 2014 and 2016 which closed the framework around the state of the art of high schools.
The second part of the work aims to read the legislative source on a new light: identify problems and difficult dynamics that develop in the musical school due to its structure and functioning. The widespread intention aims to expand the law to read, within its framework, the reasons for the cultural isolation of musical education in contemporary schools. This section therefore carries out a detailed narrative that does not want to leave behind any aspect of the work of teachers, managers, and students in the daily life of the musical high school (school-conservatory conventions, entrance exams, competencies curriculum exams, final exams). In fact, during the research we were able to understand how this high school is unknown to most people, marginally treated by public opinion and difficult to accept in the relationship with university and conservatoires. For both relations we have attempted to reconstruct the connections, mostly historically based, which make it difficult to build a vertical curriculum and integrate musical instruction into the more general framework of education.
The third part presents the interdisciplinary approach in the intent to overcome the structural problems underlined in the previous two. A review on interdisciplinarity in secondary schools is presented with the help of the Reggio Approach, Bruner’s learning theories, Della Casa/La Face study on formative functions of music and complexity paradigm. Methodological and didactical questions so presented open a space to develop the diffusion of musical culture above the specific lyceum and in the general framework of upper secondary schools
Listening and Documenting in the Reggio Approach: The Challenge and the Vision Stemming from Bruner’s Contribution
Full text linkThe pedagogy of listening was born and developed in Reggio Emilia’s schools, in northern Italy. This article analyses the pedagogy of listening in the light of the fundamental texts of the Reggio Approach’s literature. The aim is to explore some key-concepts such as language, context, relationship and evaluation and also to link them to Jerome Bruner’s work and contributions. Moreover, the authors attempt to offer an in-depth view of “documentation” as the crucial tool to ground the listening into the dynamics among the many educational actors involved. In the last part of the article, we underline the importance of democratic values in the Reggio Approach and in its socio-constructivist approach to active citizenship and children’s rights
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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
