La formazione degli insegnanti e le strategie per promuovere la scuola inclusiva
2020
L’educazione inclusiva per divenire una realtà tangibile nel processo educativo della scuola odierna necessita di azioni concrete e di un monitoraggio costante. La misurazione della qualità dell’inclusione rappresenta uno dei fattori fondamentali del suo sviluppo, ma sicuramente l’elemento chiave è la classe docenti, i fautori principali e primari dell’educazione inclusiva. I docenti possono realizzare l’inclusive education se opportunamente formati e se vengono offerti loro validi strumenti di autovalutazione. Formare gli insegnanti a promuovere l’inclusione direttamente nei contesti in cui operano e in relazione ai loro studenti, vuol dire garantire a ogni persona il successo formativo e …
Multimodal Communication and Peer Interaction during Equation-Solving Sessions with and without Tangible Technologies
2023
Despite the increasing use of technologies in the classroom, there are concerns that technology-enhanced learning environments may hinder students’ communication and interaction. In this study, we investigated how tangible technologies can enhance students’ multimodal communication and interaction during equation-solving pair work compared to working without such technologies. A tangible app for learning equation solving was developed and tested in fourth and fifth-grade classrooms with two class teachers and 24 students. Video data of the interventions were analysed using deductive and inductive content analysis. Coded data were also quantified for quantitative analysis. Additionally, teac…
Children's Temperament and Academic Skill Development During First Grade: Teachers' Interaction Styles as Mediators.
2015
The present study followed 156 Finnish children (Mage = 7.25 years) during the first grade of primary school to examine to what extent parent- and teacher-rated temperament impacts children's math and reading skill development during the first grade, and the extent to which this impact would be mediated by teachers' interaction styles with the children. The results showed that the impact of children's low task orientation and negative emotionality on their math skill development was mediated via teachers' behavioral control and, among girls, also by psychological control. The negative impact of children's inhibition on math skill development, in turn, was not mediated via teachers' interact…
THE GEOMETRY THROUGH THE BODY: DOING, ACTING, THINKING
2016
The geometry has been for more than two millennia one of the most important fields of knowledge of mathematics, identifying with it for a long time. In education, the relationship between the geometry and the physical world has always been considered one of the main elements for the acquisition of specific skills and competences. In the teaching-learning processes the thinking and the interconnection between doing, acting, thinking is therefore crucial. Teaching through the body may prove effective for teaching mathematics which, very often, is hard to be learned because of difficulties that the child encounters in assimilating mathematical symbolism and, after, applying it to real life and…
MANIPULATION OF OBJECTS AS INTEGRATION ACTIVITY
2016
The visual disability assumes, in the processes of teaching and learning, a particular connotation for the specificity that over the years the vision in the overall structure of knowledge has had. The whole western tradition on the knowledge stood on a "oculocentric" vision of knowledge. The view has always been considered the “sense for excellence". An educational activity, therefore, that emphasizes and promotes strategies of inclusion / integration of students with visual impairment is significant and essential to the whole class group. We present here an experimentation with primary school children: in a closed bag, there are objects of everyday life: every time a child extracts an obje…

LE COMPETENZE DELL’INSEGNANTE DI STORIA NELLA SCUOLA PRIMARIA TRA PASSATO, PRESENTE E FUTURO
2022
La formazione del docente di storia nella scuola primaria si è dovuta confrontare, nel corso della storia della scuola italiana, con non poche sfide pedagogiche. In primo luogo, la ridefinizione dell’identità del sapere storico, avviata fin dal secondo dopoguerra, ha prodotto una innovazione didattica che, messa a tema nei Programmi ministeriali per la scuola elementare del 1985, ha inaugurato la didattica del laboratorio storico. Inoltre, la crescita della didattica e il dibattito sulla formazione scolastica, intensificatosi negli anni Novanta, hanno avuto come esito l’introduzione delle competenze nell’insegnamento della storia. Sullo sfondo di queste due emergenze non vanno trascurate qu…

2011
Il tema della capacità di risoluzione di problemi educativi da parte di coloro che si accingono a svolgere la professione di insegnante, implica l’acquisizione di strategie per reagire in modo adeguato alla complessità dei problemi che connotano le situazioni educative. Si presentano i risultati di una ricerca triennale che ha coinvolto in totale 450 studenti del corso di Laurea in Scienze della Formazione Primaria dell’Università di Palermo. Con la ricerca ci si è posti l’obiettivo di rilevare la capacità degli studenti di affrontare lo studio con un atteggiamento volto alla comprensione e alla soluzione dei problemi concreti con i quali ci si confronta nel lavoro educativo. Si è inteso pr…
LEARNING STYLES AND METACOGNITION
2014
In this paper we introduce the results of a research that involved 60 primary school pupils. Attention is drawn to a relevant issue in instructional research: the potential value to learners of metacognitive awareness. Some implications of these issues for learning styles research are then discussed. The purpose of this study was to investigate how students perceive learning and their learning styles preferences. Through a reflection on relations between the personalization of education and knowledge of learning styles, we will emphasize how the very important issue, for a teacher, is to create his own working knowledge on his students' learning styles, if he really wants effectively stimul…
HOW TO IMPROVE METACOGNITION IN PRIMARY SCHOOL
2014
Educational and psychological research in the past decade has found that metacognitive capacity starts earlier than was initially realized; is more amenable to educational intervention than was previously thought; can be taught to a wide range of learners; and is both inherently contextual and a unique capacity that is distinguishable from intelligence, cognitive processes and motivation. In this paper we will see how metacognition can be improved in primary school pupils when teachers use instructional strategies that encourage meaningful learning, stimulate metacognitive reflection and provide continuous feedback. The purpose of this article is to explore the notion of metacognition with …
