Epistemologia dell’insegnante di matematica sulla sua conoscenza professionale. (Parte I: Quadro teorico e rassegna di alcuni risultati di ricerca).
2007
In this research the mathematics teacher’s point of view is investigated on his professional knowledge. In particular: What does he mean for “professionalism”? Does he really perceive himself as a “professional”? And how does he perceive himself as a “professional” or non a “professional”? Of what nature is his professional knowledge? On which bases are his professional practices founded? What are the sources and the limits of this knowledge? What, if any, epistemological status do his beliefs regarding the term “professional” have? The mathematics teacher’s epistemology, then, is the leading thread of the whole research. The data obtained about the teacher’s knowledge and beliefs are inter…

Mindfulness, perceived stress, and subjective well-being: a correlational study in primary care health professionals
2015
Background Primary health care professionals (PHPs) usually report high levels of distress and burnout symptoms related to job strain.

This study aimed to verify correlations among self-reported mindfulness, perceived stress (PS), and subjective well-being (SW) in Brazilian PHPs. Methods We performed a correlational cross-sectional study in a purposive sample of Brazilian PHPs (physicians, nurses, nursing assistants, and community health workers), working in community-oriented primary care programs (known locally as “Family Health Programs…
TO BE PSYCHOLOGISTS OR TO BECOME A PSYCHOLOGIST? A STUDY ON UTILITY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF AN EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING GROUP ACTIVITY IN ACADEMIC COURSES.
2015

According to the representation given by media, for example, anyone in possession of strong empathic and interpretational skills – to be simply strengthened through academic studies – may pursue the c…
