L’inclusione vista dagli alunni: costruzione e validazione del questionario per rilevare la qualità inclusiva della scuola

2018

Molti studi nazionali e internazionali si sono concentrati sulla valutazione e sulla promozione della qualità inclusiva della scuola. Si tratta di un argomento complesso, che ha stimolato un ampio dibattito e una varietà di contributi che mettono in luce la necessità di uno strumento in grado di misurare la qualità inclusiva delle nostre scuole, per determinare l’evidenza empirica riguardo a questo tema. L’articolo presenta i risultati di una sperimentazione finalizzata alla redazione di un questionario per la rilevazione della qualità inclusiva del sistema scolastico percepita dagli alunni. Il questionario si pone come uno strumento di valutazione e autovalutazione che permette la misurazi…

Many national and international studies have concentrated on the evaluation and promotion of the inclusive qualities of schools. It is a complex issue which has led to wide debate and a variety of contributions which in turn highlight the need for a tool capable of measuring the inclusive quality of our schools in order to determine the empirical evidence regarding this topic. This article presents the results of an experiment in drafting a questionnaire in order to measure the inclusive quality of the school system perceived by its pupils. The questionnaire is intended as an evaluation and selfevaluation tool that enables the inclusive quality generated by the context to be measured as it is perceived by pupils. At the same time the tool allows reflection processes amongst teachers to be promoted so that they can implement educational activities which contribute to the planning and control of inclusive teaching practices. This contribution puts forward an original tool for measuring the inclusive quality of the school system perceived by pupils attending primary school in several Sicilian towns. It was administered in its definitive version to a sample of 1652 children. The psychometric properties of the tool and the significance it can hold in the areas of planning in research and of educational design are presented in this paper.Settore M-PED/03 - Didattica E Pedagogia Speciale

Matthew Lipman e la Philosophy for Children come strategia educativa per combattere il fenomeno della violenza e della discriminazione sociale.

2021

With this contribution I want to highlight in what terms pedagogy can modify and revolutionize social relationships and significantly transform social communities. To do this, the Philosophy for Children conceived by Ann Sharp and Matthew Lipman will be taken as a reference point. Specifically, attention will be paid to the figure of Lipman, who will be examined from a historical point of view and with the aim of enhancing the motivation that led him, in the 1970s, to think of a pedagogy which, making use of of philosophy, stimulate and educate a critical and divergent thought, with which to protect, or determine from scratch, the essence of democracy. In this regard, the figure of Lipman w…

Effects of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons on Lung Function in Children with Asthma: A Mediation Analysis.

2022

Studies investigating the association between urinary Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) and asthma in children provided inhomogeneous results. We aimed to use Mediation Analysis to discover whether a link between urinary PAHs and lung function exists and if it might be ascribed to a direct or a symptom-mediated (indirect) effect in children with asthma. This single-center prospective study was conducted in Palermo, Italy, between March and July 2017 and involved 50 children with persistent mild-moderate asthma, aged 6–11 years. At each time visit (day 0, 30, 60, and 90), physical examination, spirometry, and urine collection for detection of urinary cotinine and PAHs were performed. A…

Endotyping Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis in Children: A Cluster Analysis.

2022

BackgroundSeasonal Allergic Rhinitis (SAR) is a heterogeneous inflammatory disease. We hypothesized that a cluster analysis based on the evaluation of cytokines in nasal lavage (NL) could characterize distinctive SAR endotypes in children.MethodsThis cross-sectional study enrolled 88 children with SAR. Detailed medical history was obtained by well-trained physicians. Quality of life and sleep quality were assessed through standardized questionnaires [Pediatric Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire (PRQLQ) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) respectively]. Children were grouped through K-means clustering using Interleukin (IL)-5, IL-17, IL-23, and Interferon (INF)-γ in NL.R…

Work-life balance e servizi per la prima infanzia. Un’analisi di contesto in tema di welfare locale.

2017

Questo saggio riflette su come le diseguaglianze in tema di genere e classi d’età influenzino l’accesso al mercato del lavoro, ma, soprattutto, la sfera riproduttiva. Maternità e professione si pongono spesso come scelte escludentesi l’un l’altro per l’inadeguatezza dei servizi di cura soprattutto nel Meridione. Il saggio passa in rassegna le leggi che a livello nazionale e regionale hanno cercato di favorire la conciliazione famiglia-lavoro nelle famiglie dual earner. Analizza poi la presenza di tali servizi per l’infanzia in Palermo, negli ultimi anni. Il case study del comune di Palermo evidenzia una generale esiguità dei servizi e una pro- gressiva diminuzione degli asili nido pubblici,…

Programa de intervención socio-educativa con menores en situación de riesgo del Ayuntamiento de Alaquàs

2011

El ayuntamiento de Alaquàs, participó en el panel de Buenas Prácticas IV, presentando brevemente dos experiencias, la primera: 'Programa de intervención socio-educativa con menores en situación de riesgo' ('Seguimiento Escolar', 'INPRISE'). Se trata de una experiencia consolidada, de un modelo de funcionamiento y coordinación de la red profesional relacionada con familia y menor en el ámbito municipal. Modelo que con diferentes variantes y matices suele regir el funcionamiento de nuestras redes profesionales locales. La segunda experiencia, más reciente, casi en ciernes: 'Las buenas prácticas de la apreciación de riesgo: reglamento que establece y regula el procedimiento para las declaracio…

Panton-Valentine leukocidin positive sequence type 80 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus carrying a staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec t…

2012

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major antimicrobial drug-resistant pathogen causing serious infections. It was first detected in healthcare settings, but in recent years it has also become disseminated in the community. Children and young adults are most susceptible to infection by community-acquired (CA) MRSA strains. In this study 25 MRSA isolates implicated in infections of neonates and children admitted to an Algiers hospital during an 18 month period were characterized by molecular methods including staphylococcal cassette chromosome (SCC) mec typing, PCR amplification of pvl genes, pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and multilocus sequence typing (MLST). F…

Field-based tests for the assessment of physical fitness in children and adolescents practicing sport: a systematic review within the ESA program

2019

High levels of physical fitness (PF) can positively affect both health and cognitive function, thus monitoring its levels in youth can help increase health and quality of life in adult populations later on. This systematic review aims to identify PF field-based tests used in young European populations practicing sport to find tools that are adequate for the considered target involving a new battery within the Enriched Sport Activities (ESA) project. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement was followed. In the 83 identified articles, the main tests used were: vertical/horizontal jumps (for muscular strength/power); push-ups, running at maximu…

THE ADVANTAGES OF FLIPPED LEARNING MODEL: AN OPPORTUNITY TO INTEGRATE TECHNOLOGY IN CHILDREN'S LITERATURE

2016

Studying children’s literature involves questioning how fantasy and representations of childhood relate to cultural contexts and a specific target audience. In an age of technology and online media, this program teaches students how to encourage young people to appreciate literature's heritage. This research examines how using the flipped classroom model provides opportunities to design and deliver courses using active learning and engagement strategies to facilitate students’ teamwork, problem solving and critical thinking skills in a collegial environment. The aims of research are: to familiarise with some of the themes and ideas explored in a selection of literature for children from the…
