Cross-Cultural Comparison of Student Perceptions and Performance in a Multicultural, Interdisciplinary and Bilingual Online Educational Project
2011
Exchange agreements between universities and new technologies are influencing the education-learning process during the past few years. E-learning has become an educational tool with several applications and the main aim of facilitating student learning process and adapting it to the social and professional reality. In this study, the authors present an online project based on a multicultural, interdisciplinary, and bilingual collaboration developed between two European universities: the University of Valencia (Spain) and the London School of Economics and Political Science (United Kingdom) through the free access academic platform, Moodle. Additionally, the chapter examines the significant…
Difesa dei confini, accoglienza, integrazione multiculturale : Note introduttive sul diritto dell'immigrazione
2018
Le migrazioni hanno inizio con il genere umano e ne hanno consentito lo sviluppo. Ma come ci si rapporta con il nuovo arrivato, con lo straniero? Quali sono i principi fondamentali da seguire quando un ordinamento si trova a "ricevere" un soggetto migrante oppure vere e proprie "ondate migratorie"? L'Autore esamina le interazioni, talvolta problematiche, fra il diritto di uno Stato a regolamentare l'immigrazione e il diritto dei migranti a spostarsi da un paese ad un altro, alla luce dell'attuale quadro politico-giuridico europeo e italiano. Una volta che il migrante è poi accolto stabilmente nell'ordinamento vanno definite le regole della convivenza e dell'integrazione multiculturale.
Mutual intercultural relations among immigrant and autochthonous youth in Italy. Testing the integration, multiculturalism, and contact hypotheses
2020
Italy is increasingly becoming a culturally complex society. This poses numerous challenges for developmental and educational psychology, mainly in terms of how to encourage adequate levels of social harmony by promoting positive development of both immigrant and autochthonous youth. Within this perspective, the current paper presents the Italian findings of the Mutual Intercultural Relations in Plural Societies (MIRIPS) international project, postulating the centrality of three core hypotheses: integration, multiculturalism, and contact. Two studies were performed to investigate these hypotheses. Study 1 comprised 188 Tunisian adolescents aged 13-18 (51% F; Mage=15.94), while Study 2 inclu…
‘So close, yet so different’ – reflections on the multicultural course of Slavic languages
2019
The complexity of language learning may be expanded to learning the languages belonging to the same language family, for example, Slavic languages. This paper reports on the reflection-on action research aimed at the increase of learners’ multicultural competence and enhancement of critical thinking at the interdisciplinary, blended course of Slavic languages and cultures. The course organized in modules is implemented in Moodle. Course content is designed by the teacher; however, Slavic languages are presented by native speakers of these languages. Learners have an opportunity to get familiar with Slavic languages, history, and culture from the presenters’ perspective, what generally resul…
Paradise Lost? The Collapse of Dutch Multiculturalism and the Birth of Islamophobic Post-Liberalism
2013
The aim of this chapter is to shed light on the integration debate in the Netherlands, and especially on the prominent role of Islam and cultural issues in this debate (Boomkens 2010: 307). Arguably more than in any other European country, anti-Islamic sentiment has produced political consequences, including the formation of three political parties on a principally anti-Islamic platform (Leefbar Nederland (Liveable Netherlands), List Pim Fortuyn and Partij voor de Vrijheid (Freedom Party)) since 2000 and the dismantling of key aspects of state-supported multiculturalism, including a cessation of ethnic monitoring of labour market participation, the withdrawal of national-level funding for m…
Multiculturalism in the Italian family law
2019
Questo lavoro guarda criticamente all’idea tradizionale di multiculturalismo e multicomunitarismo sullo sfondo della società italiana contemporanea. In Italia, che non è definibile come società multi-comunitaria, c’è stata una trasformazione dell’assimilazione delle “regole aliene” in una domanda complessa e frammen- tata di “micro” rivendicazioni, di tutele di diritti e riconoscimento di diversi (e talvolta piccoli) gruppi sociali. Il lavoro tenta di dimostrare che non si tratta (più o solo) di una questione di diversità di etnie o religioni, ma di diverse “rivendicazioni di gruppi sociali”, “rivendicazioni di gruppi economici”, “riven- dicazioni di gruppi di interesse”, “rivendicazioni di…

Intercultural Profiles and Adaptation Among Immigrant and Autochthonous Adolescents
2015
Few studies examine relationships between intercultural strategies and adaptation among adolescents using a person-oriented approach. Framed from an intercultural psychology perspective, this study used such an approach in order to examine the influence of intercultural profiles, patterns of relationships among variables related to intercultural strategies, on the adaptation of adolescents of both non-dominant and dominant groups. Two hundred and fifty-six adolescents living in Italy and aged from 14 to 18 participated to the study: 127 immigrants from Tunisia (males = 49.61%) and 129 autochthonous (males = 44.19%). Data were collected through self-report questionnaires. Using cluster analy…
