Importance of the Motivational Climate in Goal, Enjoyment, and the Causes of Success in Handball Players
2017
The purpose of the study is to examine the effects of the motivational climate created by the coach and perceived by a group of young handball players on their goal orientations, their beliefs regarding reasons for success and their self-satisfaction. The study participants were 159 young handball players. Players were administered a battery composed of tests to measure the above-mentioned motivational constructs. Results showed that a perceived mastery-oriented motivational climate was positively related to a task-centered goal orientation, enjoyment, and a belief that success may be achieved through effort. In contrast, a perceived performance-orientated training climate was linked to an …
What Was Synthetic Biology?
2014
The desire to make life is not new. Mythology and history provide numerous examples of this Promethean longing. Materialist and evolutionist scientists over a century ago were convinced of the possibility and even the need to synthesize living beings to advance the knowledge on the nature and origin of life. The premature synthetic biology attempts by Stephane Leduc and Alfonso L. Herrera reflected the mechanistic ideal in biology of Jacques Loeb. The book “La biologie synthetique” by Leduc (1912) clearly defines the efforts of these pioneers: “Why is it less acceptable to seek how to make a cell than how to make a molecule?” Journalists have presented many advances in biology in the past c…
Preservice teachers implementing a nonlinear physical education pedagogy
2019
Background\ud In recent years, there has been considerable interest in the evolution of physical education teaching practice from a traditional teacher-centred approach to a student-centred approach. Consequently, research has focused on questions about the changing conceptions of the teaching and learning process, that is, from how ‘we’ teach to how ‘they’ learn. A contemporary theoretical model of the teaching and learning process could underpin learning design and delivery adopted in physical education. The constraints-led approach (CLA) is a viable alternative as its practice design and delivery is grounded in the contemporary motor learning theory of ecological dynamics within a nonlin…

Giuseppe Cocchiara, il fascismo e il razzismo
2021
In questo saggio viene ricostruito il rapporto tra Giuseppe Cocchiara e il fascismo. L’antropologo visse in pieno la sua formazione culturale all'interno del regime al quale aderì con convinzione e slancio, militando sempre nelle sue fazioni più radicali, condividendone fedelmente le scelte più tragiche come la guerra d’Etiopia, sottoscrivendo le leggi razziali, impegnandosi nella seconda guerra mondiale con le armi culturali dell’antisemitismo e della lotta senza tregua contro la democrazia. Così quando, come in un «mondo alla rovescia», sconfitto il fascismo sotto il peso di un’umiliante e sanguinosa disfatta, saranno proprio gli odiati inglesi a valorizzarne la statura intellettuale e la…
