Partecipare al bene comune attraverso il Living Lab. Una riflessione sul ruolo della scuola

2022

Le trasformazioni delle dinamiche produttive e sociali caratterizzanti questi ultimi decenni hanno avuto un impatto sui contesti socio-economici, oggi contrassegnati da globalizzazione, pervasività delle tecnologie e allentamento delle reti relazionali. Il mutamento dei processi di socializzazione, organizzazione e partecipazione alla costruzione del bene comune ha comportato una crescente disaffezione dell’uomo nei confronti della polis. Difronte ad un siffatto scenario, la scuola è chiamata a sviluppare concrete pratiche che promuovano negli alunni e nella collettività consapevolezza della propria agentività e senso di appartenenza, elementi fondanti della partecipazione attiva alla vita …

Partnership for training. Genitori, docenti e dirigenti a confronto. Strumenti e modelli di valutazione

2022

This paper focuses on the need to work on co-responsability between school and family. This aim is developed assuming that a growing interest on quality schools involves the construction of significant alliances. Building a common "Pact" between these two important educational agencies means increasing a global and meaningful development of the students. The Ecological systems theory explains how the child, on his path of bio-psycho-social maturation, is constantly influenced by different and interdependent "systems", which simultaneously exert their effect over the child. In view of this natural interdependence, the school-family alliance becomes a pivot upon which to base the pact of co-r…

Understanding the sense of community and continuance intention in virtual communities: The role of commitment and type of community

2019

Virtual communities (VCs) have become essential in current organizations and society, and so their sustainability is a topic of interest for researchers and practitioners. We focus on the sense of virtual community (SoVC) and commitment as relevant antecedents in achieving the success and maintenance of different types of VCs (communities of interest, virtual learning communities, and virtual communities of practice). Specifically, this study examines a moderated mediation model in which the type of virtual community moderates the indirect effect of a SoVC on the intention to continue through the perceived commitment of the users of the VC. The sample consists of 299 members of Virtual comm…

Sport participation and loneliness in adolescents: the mediating role of perceived social competence

2013

Published version of an article in the journal: Current Psychology. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s12144-013-9174-5 Young people perceive loneliness as a distressing emotional experience associated with sadness and boredom. Also, feelings of loneliness may be associated with psychosocial and emotional problems during adolescence. The aim of this study was to investigate whether perceived social competence mediated the cross-sectional relationship between sport participation and loneliness in young people when controlling for age, sex, shyness, and non-organized physical activity. This cross-sectional study consisted of 2,055 pupils (995 boys and 1,060 girls…

This positive moment has been launched and, progressively, rid- den by many young professionals that decided to challenge the present situation by investing their…

Effective communication as a fundamental aspect of active aging and well-being: paying attention to the challenges older adults face in noisy environ…

2016

Successful communication is vital to active aging and well-being, yet virtually all older adults find it challenging to communicate effectively in noisy environments. The resulting discomfort and frustration can prompt withdrawal or avoidance of social situations, which, in turn, can severely limit the range of activities available to older adults and lead to a less active and satisfying lifestyle, and, in some cases, depression. Using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health’s (ICF) multifactorial model (WHO, 2001), we review the wider aspects of functioning and disability as they relate to hearing difficulties and communication, placing a particular emphasis …
