Il questionario metacognitivo QMeta

2019

L’analisi della letteratura nazionale ed internazionale dei questionari metacognitivi relativi alla comprensione della lettura ha reso necessaria l’elaborazione di uno strumento specifico in italiano e congruente con l’età dei soggetti coinvolti nella ricerca descritta nel presente volume (ultimi anni di scuola Primaria). Il presente contributo descrive sinteticamente il questionario QMeta specificatamente elaborato. Esso è costituito da 10 item con scale di risposta a tre punti. The analysis of both national and international literature of metacognitive questionnaires on reading comprehension has required the development of a specific instrument in Italian appropriate for the age of the su…

Progettare interventi didattici personalizzati: implicazioni per la formazione dei futuri insegnanti

2020

L’articolo riporta i risultati di un’indagine sul terzo anno di tirocinio nel corso di laurea magistrale (LM 85-bis) in Scienze della Formazione Primaria dell’Università degli Studi di Palermo nell’anno accademico 2019-2020. È stato chiesto ai 269 studenti, che avevano svolto nei mesi precedenti 50 ore di tirocinio in classe, di descrivere le loro progettazion didattiche seguendo una guida, appositamente costruita, che li aiutasse anche a svolgere una riflessione metacognitiva sulla didattica personalizzata; inoltre la capacità decisionale degli studenti, valutata con il test QTD, è stata messa in relazione con la loro capacità di progettare in una scuola inclusiva. Al fine di preparare il …

Self-regulation of learning: the potential technologies impact of the metacognitive approach

2012

Self-regulation researchers theorize that self-regulation does not occur when learners display personal initiative, perseverance, and adaptive skill in pursuing learning. At its core, self-regulation involves self-motivation as well as metacognitive processes. Reflection on the process of learning is believed to be an essential ingredient in the development of expert teachers. By employing reflective thinking skills to evaluate the results of one’s own learning efforts, awareness of effective learning strategies can be increased and ways to use these strategies in other learning situations can be understood. In this paper, we describe how expert teachers use the knowledge they have gained o…

Postnatal predator exposure reduces fear and anxiety behaviors in adult mice

2010

Poster; Predator cues are very efficient to induce fear in rodents but most studies use adult subjects and not pups. Nevertheless, a perinatal stress can have a significant effect on behavior and on physiology at adulthood. An early stress (foot shock, restraint, mother separation) is able to modulate behaviors later and the aim of this study was to examine if the synthetic predator odor 2,3,5-trimethylthiazoline (TMT) presented to neonates modifies fear and anxiety-related behaviors in adult female mice.

Cognitive dysfunction in patients with cerebral microbleeds on T2*-weighted gradient-echo MRI

2004

Gradient echo T2*-weighted MRI has high sensitivity in detecting cerebral microbleeds, which appear as small dot-like hypointense lesions. Microbleeds are strongly associated with intracerebral haemorrhage, hypertension, lacunar stroke and ischaemic small vessel disease, and have generated interest as a marker of bleeding-prone microangiopathy. Microbleeds have generally been considered to be clinically silent; however, since they are located in widespread cortical and basal ganglia regions and are histologically characterized by tissue damage, we hypothesized that they would cause cognitive dysfunction. We therefore studied patients with microbleeds (n = 25) and a non-microbleed control gr…

Determination of the Time Window of Event-Related Potential Using Multiple-Set Consensus Clustering

2020

Clustering is a promising tool for grouping the sequence of similar time-points aimed to identify the attention blocks in spatiotemporal event-related potentials (ERPs) analysis. It is most likely to elicit the appropriate time window for ERP of interest if a suitable clustering method is applied to spatiotemporal ERP. However, how to reliably estimate a proper time window from entire individual subjects’ data is still challenging. In this study, we developed a novel multiset consensus clustering method in which several clustering results of multiple subjects were combined to retrieve the best fitted clustering for all the subjects within a group. Then, the obtained clustering was processed…
