La scuola e la società in John Dewey ai tempi della pandemia da Covid-19
2022
La pedagogia di John Dewey può essere oggi intesa come una risorsa utile per fronteggiare il periodo complesso e drammatico caratterizzato dalla pandemia da Covid-19. È per questo motivo che il contributo, attraverso alcuni riferimenti alle opere più significative della prospettiva deweyana, intende riflettere sull’attualità del pensiero deweyano, facendo un esplicito riferimento alla sulla sua idea di democrazia come a way of life e ponendo in risalto in che modo le scuole possano contribuire a fronteggiare circostanze complesse come quelle attuali, progettando e realizzando dei processi educativi mirati alla trasmissione e alla sperimentazione dei principi democratici e alla formazione di…
La scuola al servizio della democrazia: i princìpi ispiratori di John Dewey per l’interpretazione di Lamberto Borghi
2021
John Dewey ha dedicato molta attenzione al rapporto scuola-società, affermando come il modo di insegnare e di educare potesse favorire la creazione di una democrazia intesa non come un mero sistema politico, bensì come un a way of life. In tal senso, il contributo cha lo scopo di evidenziare come l’idea di Dewey di una scuola a servizio della democrazia si sia diffusa anche in Italia grazie al contributo di Lamberto Borghi. Quest’ultimo, nell’immediato secondo dopoguerra e attraverso l'influenza del pensiero di John Dewey, teorizzò infatti un’educazione volta allo sviluppo di una personalità comunitaria in grado di vivere in un contesto democratico nel pieno rispetto di ogni forma di divers…

Il valore educativo dell’esperienza in John Dewey
2020
Uno dei principi cardine del pensiero di John Dewey è sicuramente quello di esperienza reputata generatrice di crescita e di formazione per ciascun individuo. Pertanto, questo contributo si propone come scopo quello di illustrare dapprima alcune opere della giovinezza, nelle quali Dewey, con un riferimento chiaro ed evidente a Immanuel Kant, ha maturato l’idea di un’esperienza produttrice di conoscenza e di maturazione umana e sociale; in un secondo momento verranno illustrati alcuni scritti della maturità, dove è possibile rintracciare un’evoluzione del concetto di esperienza, alla quale Dewey ha attribuito un valore educativo che doveva essere incoraggiato nei contesti scolastici del suo …
I luoghi dove realizzare il “nuovo individualismo” di John Dewey: il ruolo del metodo scientifico e della pratica educativa del riconoscimento
2021
This contribution aims to reflect on the concept of individualism as presented by John Dewey who used this word to indicate the unique and unrepeatable part of man, differentiating the “old individualism” from the “new individualism”. Taking into consideration the Deweyan theories of the first half of the twentieth century, with particular reference to the 1930 writing The Individualism Old and New, it is noted that Dewey criticized the existence of an “old individualism” intended as an emblem of egocentrism and of asociality, the causes of which were traceable to the advent of industrialization, social stratification and capitalism. According to him, these were people without a solid ident…
THE SCHOOL AT THE SERVICE OF THE SOCIETY: CONSEQUENCES FOR THE "NEW WORLD"
2022
Introduction In this article I shall seek to demonstrate the remarkable contemporary relevance of John Dewey’s pedagogic ideas, found in publications such as My Pedagogic Creed, The School and Society and Democracy and Education. Through a brief analysis of these works I will highlight how much Dewey believed in a school that is connected to society and which places itself at its service, contributing to the birth or consolidation of a democracy understood not just as a form of government, but as a way of life. In view of this analysis and in light of the present pandemic caused by COVID-19, I will consider the importance today of the school. Following Dewey, I will take into account the ro…
2018
AbstractIn this article we examine first-year student teachers’ possibilities to become interested in professional issues in teacher education. We study the phenomenon of becoming interested among first-year student teachers via three different kinds of data. We analysed our data through John Dewey’s definition of interest, where a person has an interest if s/he is actively keen on some object that has personal meaning for her/him. According to our data, student teachers adopt an object of interest that teacher educators provide. Learners found it difficult to find the objects of interests by themselves, and it was exceptional for them to find personal meaning and an active state of interes…
Deweyan Democracy, Neoliberalism, and Action Research
2019
This article aims to establish a line of continuity between John Dewey's democratic and educational ideals and the practice of action research, to justify that the latter affords an adequate means to enact Dewey's ideals against the destructive challenges that neoliberalism poses to democracy today. This aim involves three ideas that will be developed in three corresponding sections. After the Introduction, the first section analyzes at length the main tenets of Dewey's thoughts about democracy by emphasizing the role of the educational dimension. The article then approaches neoliberalism by focusing on one of its variants, New Public Management, and explains why the latter implies a direct…
La religione laica di John Dewey e di Aldo Capitini
2021
The contribution proposes an analysis on a subject that, today, appears more controversial than ever and full of ideas for reflection for the pedagogical world: the religion. This will be done through a reference to the theoretical contribution of John Dewey, who, presenting the terminology difference between the word "religion" and "religiousness", has disseminated the idea of a secular religion, whose values, transcending the boundaries of multiple religious confessions, can be fulfilled by all, contributing to the realization of democratic society. The deweyan approach will be compared to that of Aldo Capitini who, in a similar way to the American thinker, has promoted a form of secular …
Particle transport in recirculated liquid metal flows
2008
PurposeAims to present recent activities in numerical modeling of turbulent transport processes in induction crucible furnace.Design/methodology/approach3D large eddy simulation (LES) method was applied for fluid flow modeling in a cylindrical container and transport of 30,000 particles was investigated with Lagrangian approach.FindingsParticle accumulation near the side crucible boundary is determined mainly by the ρp/ρ ratio and according to the presented results. Particle settling velocity is of the same order as characteristic melt flow velocity. Particle concentration homogenization time depends on the internal flow regime. Separate particle tracks introduce very intensive mass exchang…
