Exploring the material mediation of dialogic space : A qualitative analysis of professional learning in initial teacher education based on reflective…
2019
This study addresses the crucial relationship between theory and practice as a key feature of professional learning in initial teacher education. The context for the study is an EU-funded intensive programme drawing on different dimensions of insideness and outsideness and artsbased pedagogies in response to the diversity of education today. The data for the study comes from self-selected pages from preservice teacher participants’ reflective sketchbooks. As a methodological approach that unifies the sensuous and cognitive this study suggests that reflective sketchbooks document the dialogic encounters of students whilst also providing a material space that can itself become a form of dialo…
Recognition as Generative Movement. Axel Honneth between Structure of the Self and Second Nature
2021
Il lavoro affronta tematicamente il paradigma del riconoscimento di Axel Honneth attraverso quattro opere principali — Kampf um Anerkennung, Verdinglichung, Das Recht der Freiheit e Anerkennung. Lo scopo principale è quello di distillare i diversi concetti di riconoscimento messi in campo da Honneth, pur mantenendo l'analisi all'interno dell'orizzonte di matrice francofortese, con le sue necessarie implicazioni antropologiche e filosofico-sociali. A una prima parte storico-filosofica segue un ultimo capitolo in cui i diversi concetti di riconoscimento vengono confrontati con la proposta di Hegel, elaborata nella sezione sulla moralità nella Fenomenologia dello spirito. The work thematically…
ESERCIZI DI LETTURA E DI SCRITTURA. Sviluppo di abilità di pensiero critico nella scuola primaria
2019
Esiste un consenso generalizzato sul fatto che la scuola deve sviluppare negli alunni la capacità critica. Quando poi si cerca di definire che cosa sia il pensiero critico e come si manifesta nelle diverse fasi di sviluppo degli alunni, emergono differenze di opinioni. Il libro parte dai risultati delle ricerche che hanno fornito una base sperimentale alla definizione del costrutto, per cercare di rispondere poi a due domande chiave: in che modo la ricerca sulla formazione del pensiero critico si è sviluppata negli ultimi decenni? Come è possibile migliorare il potenziale di pensiero critico negli allievi della scuola primaria mediante le attività di lettura e di scrittura? Per sviluppare n…
TEACHING ACTIVITY AND EVALUATION OF CRITICAL THINKING IN PRIMARY SCHOOL
2019
The aim of this work is to verify the efficacy of a training program focused on the enhancement of critical thinking skills, realized with a group of children between the ages of 9 and 11 years, in the last year of primary school in the Palermo area. At school as in life, critical thinking skills are fundamental; these skills concern above all the integrated processing of information, the correct use of reasoning, the adequate formulation of judgments, the taking of autonomous and controlled choices. Technological expansion fuels the children and young people’s difficulties to organize the knowledge data, coming from several sources, in a coherent and logical way as well as to evaluate info…

Using Kaleidoscopic Pedagogy to Foster Critically Reflective Learning About Management and Leadership
2019
This chapter focuses on an Arts-Based Intervention (ABI) into an Introductory course of Management and Leadership offered to students considering key concepts and frames of thinking in the field for the first time. First, we introduce Kaleidoscopic Pedagogy and conceptually frame our ABI in relation to the mode of learning that it allows for together with the drive for equality that it is concerned with. We then introduce the context of the ABI, describe the course and its background and the course facilitators together with information about the participants. Emphasis is placed on the way the course was framed to bring a sense of present-day management reality through our use of art-based …

From intensive car-parenting to enabling childhood velonomy? Explaining parents’ representations of children’s leisure mobilities
2023
Intensive parenting has become a key term for analysing the pressures and priorities of contemporary western parenting culture. For mobility studies it provides a discursive framework for understanding why children’s leisure has shifted from free play and mobility towards various adult-led organised activities and why parents deem it necessary to control children’s leisure journeys in an unprecedented manner. Most of the research on parenting and mobility has explained these trends with urban risks and safeguarding, but this paper highlights how parents also control, manage and enable children’s mobility to resource and enrich them with various dispositions. We use children’s mobility exper…
"Sam meets Alicia, falls in love, gets her pregnant, and starts having doubts" : dating and sex in English high school textbooks
2015
Onnellisuus ja tyytyväisyys elämään ovat länsimaisille ihmisille keskeisiä tavoitteita. Useat tutkimukset ovat toistuvasti osoittaneet että ihmissuhteilla on suuri merkitys näiden tavoitteiden saavuttamiselle. Koulujen oppikirjateksteillä on mahdollisuus esitellä hyviä ihmissuhdemalleja, joita oppilaat voivat halutessaan soveltaa omissa elämissään. Seurustelusuhteiden kuvauksista oppikirjoissa ei kuitenkaan ole tehty selvityksiä, vaikka seurustelu onkin ajankohtainen ja merkityksellinen aihe useille lukioikäisille. Tässä tutkimuksessa selvitettiin miten seurustelusuhteita käsitellään Suomen kouluissa englannin opiskeluun käytetyissä Open Road -kirjasarjan osissa 1–3. Tutkimusmetodina on Jam…
Deliberative Democracy, Active Citizenship and Critical Culture: From Aristotle’s Rhetoric to Contemporary Political Philosophy
2013
The aim of this paper is to defend an adequate reading of Aristotle´s deliberative rhetoric that allows us to understand practical rationalization as a process of interpretation of human actions. After the consideration of rhetoric as a general human ability that is indispensable for political coexistence, the impact of the Aristotelian rhetorical proposal is presented, not just as a defense of the importance of rhetoric in a democratic society, but also as a novel attempt to understand what it means to speak of practical rationality.
