Un'indagine sulla pratica scolastica relativa all'educazione alla salute in un campione di insegnanti della provincia di Palermo

Planning promotional interventions in health education appears inadeguate, in spite of the great number of legislative and theoric statements. Few Schools, in fact, are capable of realizing activities in health education, either for lack of human and material resources in the school, as well as for difficulties in links and communication with the territory. In front of scholastic presences well developed and competent in health education, coesist an elevated number of schools which consider healt education as an additional work for teachers, giving as acquaired in the family or in other specific courses the relative notions.

The Narration to Take Care of Oneself in the Development of Educational Professions

Cura e progetto di Vita. Strategie di azione educativa

Il testo offre una lettura pedagogica della cura educativa interpretata come aver cura dell’altro perché l’altro impari ad avere cura di sé. La formazione di educatori e pedagogisti deve essere orientata alla conoscenza e alla cura di sé per aiutare l’altro a prendere consapevolezza ed assumersi la responsabilità delle proprie cure. La dimensione della cura di sé e dell’altro richiama competenze comunicative, relazionali ed empatiche, indispensabili affinché il rapporto di cura diventi formativo. La particolarità della competenza pedagogica è la progettualità educativa, in cui la persona viene accompagnata nel processo di costruzione di sé e del proprio progetto di vita, progetto inteso non…

L’Educatore e il minore autore di reato nell’ottica della prevenzione

Negli anni recenti il processo penale nell’ambito della giustizia minorile italiana e dei relativi provvedimenti avverso il minore sono andati incontro a profonda revisione. Le norme prevedono una serie di misure alternative per legare il periodo di punizione al reinserimento all’esterno una volta scontata la pena. L’azione giudiziaria è volta alla tutela dei bisogni fondamentali del minore e al potenziamento del suo processo educativo. L’intervento penale è volto al recupero del processo evolutivo del minore e tutta la fase processuale esorta a realizzare un cambiamento attraverso progetti di recupero. In questo contesto è ritenuta fondamentale la figura dell’educatore che con le sue speci…

End of life pedagogy and empathetic guidance

The scientific progress has recently provoked profound physical and conceptual changes related to the end of life (EOL), and it has been necessary an intense debate about EOL and euthanasy. It is significant to define death as the absence of life qualities and not as a physical end. Hence, the end stage of our life is a crucial and meaningful moment. For this reason, it is essential to try to integrate the purely technical perspective with an ethic of guidance, which allows patients to live in dignity their death. For this reason, it urges to engage a continue and deep educational and experiential co-construction on the end of life, aware of its precariousness.

DYSGRAPHY AS DYSHARMONY OF BODY MOVEMENT. NEW SCENARIOS BETWEEN TRADITION AND TECHNOLOGY

Diversi studi dimostrano come grazie al movimento si instaurino rapporti con l’ambiente e come questa relazione sia determinante nel processo di apprendimento di ogni individuo. Il corpo è il primo mezzo con cui l’individuo sperimenta l’ambiente, è il primo canale di comunicazione fra lui e gli altri e continuerà ad essere l’intermediario privilegiato nella relazione con gli altri, tra il mondo interno e quello esterno a sé (Federici, Valentini, Tonini Cardinali, 2008, p.85). Il presente articolo nasce dall’esigenza di descrivere una proposta di intervento che prevede l’integrazione del metodo Terzi con gli exergames, con lo scopo di potenziare le abilità visuo-spaziali e favorire il miglio…

Il problema della violenza sulle donne richiede risposte culturali ed educative prima che legali e repressive. La violenza contro le donne e un tentativo di cancellare la loro identita e minarne l’indipendenza e la liberta di scelta. L’educazione ha evidenziato l’incapacita dell’Europa a sviluppare una vera uguaglianza di genere e indica, allo stesso modo, la necessita di trovare nuovi percorsi per ridare senso alla esistenza della donna in quanto donna e significato a parole come uguale opportunita, differenza di genere, autodeterminazione, di-chiarando tolleranza zero ad ogni livello di violenza contro le donne e attivando azioni con-certate fra gli attori della politica, della cultura e …

A survey on knowledge and perceptions regarding head lice on a sample of teachers and students in primary schools of north and south of Italy.

High rates of pediculosis are found in every part of the world. The age-range most affected is between 3 and 12 years. No-nit policies are ineffective in preventing infestations. On the other hand, misdiagnosis and overuse of pediculicides, increase resistance to treatment. Lack of information leads people to consider this kind of infestation to be associated to low social classes and immigrants. This research has been implemented to find out about the information level on pediculosis on a sample of students (722) and teachers (408) of some primary schools in northern and southern Italy, and to highlight the role of personal aspects such as age, gender, cultural level, geographical position…
