Tras la aplicación del programa, los resultados arrojaron un incremento significativo en los niveles de creatividad verbal en el grupo …
Un'infanzia fatta di scienza e arte
2020
I contributi presentati in questo volume echeggiano tra di loro come un gioco di risonanze che travalicano ogni confine tra discipline per scavare tra le radici dell’umanità. Il testo è diviso in due parti idealmente collegate da una comune prospettiva sui bambini e sul loro modo conoscere e di entrare in relazione col mondo con gli occhi delle scienze e delle arti. L’approccio olistico, la curiosità e l’immaginazione, la libertà esplorativa e il piacere di creare connessioni tra le cose su piani diversi coinvolge totalmente singoli soggetti e gruppi, menti e corpi secondo una logica che rende impossibile segnare una demarcazione netta tra scienza e arte, soprattutto quando si parla di bamb…
I bambini e l'arte, l'arte dei bambini. Riflessioni sulla creatività
2020
In cosa consiste l’arte dei bambini? Che rapporti ha con lo sviluppo ma anche con il pensiero creativo in senso stretto e cosa ci dice, quindi, delle radici ontogenetiche della creatività umana e cosa delle sue caratteristiche? Le modalità di conoscenza e di espressione infantili ci riportano anche alla fascinazione degli adulti nei confronti dei processi creativi e di pensiero dei bambini. Ma quali sono le ragioni di un tale fascino? Cosa, simbolicamente, l’adulto vede, desidera, rimpiange? Tracciare, in questa prospettiva, una continuità tra le prime fasi della vita e lo sviluppo successivo può aiutare a riflettere sui modi di funzionare degli esseri umani, ma comporta, parallelamente, la…
Trajectories of Prosocial Behavior and Physical Aggression in Middle Childhood: Links to Adolescent School Dropout and Physical Violence
2006
Trajectories of prosocial behavior and physical aggression between 6 and 12 years of age were identified for a sample (N=1,025) of males. The trajectories were then used to predict school dropout and physical violence at age 17. Using a group-based semi-parametric method, two trajectories of prosociality (low and moderate declining) and three trajectories of physical aggression (low, moderate, and high declining) were obtained. Only a small minority (3.4%) of the boys were characterized by both high aggression and moderate prosociality. Physical aggression predicted both school dropout and physical violence, but contrary to expectations, prosocial behavior did not have additive or protectiv…
Epistemic governance in local policy debates : The case of entitlement to early childhood education and care in Finland
2019
In Finland, children below school age have enjoyed the right to attend subsidised full-time early childhood education and care (ECEC). However, the attendance rate in Finland is low in comparison to other Nordic countries. Furthermore, the entitlement was restricted to 20 h per week in 2016 unless the child’s parents work or study full-time or unless it is believed that the child will benefit from full-time ECEC. The debates concerning restrictions in ECEC entitlement in three municipal councils serve as the data for this study. By using the framework of epistemic governance, we identify three differing constructions of the ECEC’s societal functions in the municipal policy debates. The simi…
Spaanse kinderen. Los niños españoles exiliados en Bélgica durante la guerra civil. Experiencia pedagógica e historias de vida
2013
This paper explains the pedagogical experience conducted during 2011-2012 by the author at the Ghent University (Belgium), in which he tried to recover the historical memory through oral history teaching. The search and document analysis in Belgian correspondence files, photographs and drawings, and the use of interviews and life stories of «children» exiled in Ghent during the Spanish Civil War, are the sources used for the study of these childhood stories. This is a historical research shared with students of Pedagogische Wetenschappen (Educational Sciences) that became a real learning experience of historical and educational learning. El presente artículo narra la experiencia pedagógica …
La pedagogia liberante
2018
In questo breve articolo viene presentata la pedagogia della liberazione messa in campo da Danilo Dolci nella Sicilia del secondo ‘900. Il Centro educativo di Mirto a Partinico, fondato da Dolci nel 1974, divenne un laboratorio maieutico che accoglieva i bambini dai 4 ai 6 anni di età per avviare in loro un processo di auto-apprendimento creativo e incentrato sul comunicare in vista della costruzione di una nuova società democratica. This short paper presents the Danilo Dolci’s pedagogy of freedom in Sicily in the Seventies of the twentieth century. The Educational Center of Mirto in Partinico, founded by Dolci in 1974, became a maieutic laboratory where children from 4 to 6 years of age st…
Are the new genetic tools for diagnosis of Wilson disease helpful in clinical practice?
2020
Summary The diagnosis of Wilson disease is not always easy. For many patients, a combination of tests reflecting disturbed copper metabolism may be needed. Testing for ATP7B variants has become part of the routine diagnostic approach. The methods of genetic testing include analysis of the 21 coding exons and intronic flanking sequences, in which exons with recurrent variants would be prioritised depending on the mutation frequency in the local population. If sequencing the entire ATP7B gene cannot identify 2 variants and the suspicion for Wilson disease is high, after reviewing the clinical data, WES (whole-exome sequencing) or WGS (whole-genome sequencing) could be applied. A workflow base…
Françoise Dolto (1908-1988)
2021
Françoise Dolto, a French psychoanalyst of the twentieth century, has an important role not only in the history of the psychoanalytic movement but also in the history of education, because she gives new attention to early childhood starting from the encounter between psychoanalysis and pediatrics. Her interest in education matured during the sixties of the twentieth century when she understood the importance of prevention in the treatment of pathologies of children, teenagers and adults. Her pedagogy has a non-traditional and transdisciplinary approach and is defined as "education medicine", where education is a search for truth and a commitment, for the adults, to establish a relationship …
Comparing Aspects Of The Process Quality In Six European Early Childhood Educational Settings
2013
The European project ‘Early Change’ (http://earlychange.teithe.gr) attempts to evaluate the quality of early childhood education (ECE) environments of six European countries, Greece, Portugal, Finland, Denmark, Cyprus and Romania. The purpose of this paper is to compare the level of two dimensions of the process quality of these environments a) Space & Furnishings, and b) Personal Care Routines. Theorists, practitioners and researchers agree that in order to provide qualitative education to young children, one of the basic needs of all children must be met; that need is the protection of their health and their safety. A high quality early childhood education program must contain a safe and …
