Sustainability Way Beyond Academia: Public Art as a Driver for Behavioural Change and the Participatory Quest of Gayle Chong Kwan
2021
The paper offers a survey on the recent academic interest surrounding the field of art and sustainability, arguing that scholars have lingered on descriptive studies, focusing on the assumed ‘emotional’ potential of art, or on an instrumental attitude towards art taken as just one more communication channel to deliver scientific data. One more strain of scholarly investigation emerged among art historians exploring recent environmentalist or ecological art, though without taking into full account its aesthetic dimension and thus how it contributes to different ways of knowledge production. The present research offers instead a take on public art practices showing their particular capability…

Corresponsabilità e cura educativa dei genitori nello “zero-sei”: un’esperienza di ricerca e formazione attraversata dalla pandemia
2022
This paper focuses on early childhood educators as possible facilitators of educational co-responsibility with families and, therefore, of inclusive educating communities, in line with the PNRR. A research-training with educators from Palermo, which began before the pandemic and was then reformulated, is presented. For this research, a questionnaire was administered in 2019 to investigate three areas from which, according to the literature, obstacles to an effective educational alliance often arise: educators’ understanding of current family education, what educators think parents to be and ideas of co-responsibility. In 2022, an online questionnaire similar to the first was administered, a…
Validity of a Questionnaire for the Assessment of Work-related Musculoskeletal Symptoms and Physical Demands
2011
Fundamentos: En las intervenciones de ergonomía participativa es frecuente utilizar cuestionarios autoadministrados para obtener información acerca de los daños y riesgos ergonómicos percibidos por los trabajadores. El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar la validez de un cuestionario diseñado para su utilización en este tipo de programas. Métodos: Participaron 35 trabajadores voluntarios de diez empresas de Valencia y Alicante. El trabajo de campo se realizó en 2009. Se siguieron tres estrategias: análisis de repetibilidad en dos vueltas del cuestionario, comparación de las respuestas al cuestionario (primera vuelta) con la información obtenida mediante observación directa de los puestos de…
Participatory tools and methods for community action. SESPAS Report 2018
2018
Resumen: La participación es un proceso que requiere la implicación de responsables de la política, del personal directivo y técnico de las instituciones, y de la ciudadanía, así como de la acción intersectorial e interdisciplinaria. Para generar cambios transformadores es necesaria una infraestructura que favorezca la participación y la acción planificada, reconociendo a todos los actores del proceso. Se precisan tiempo y compromiso para su continuidad a través de la producción conjunta de acciones, y de ahí la importancia de consolidar proyectos participativos que continúen más allá de los cambios políticos para que los servicios públicos sean sostenibles. La formación, el uso adecuado de…

Designing OLPC learning environments: A case on 1:1 pedagogy in rural Tanzania
2013
In the past two decades computers have become a standard educational tool in the industrialized countries. Recently, equipping each student with a personal device (one-to-one computing, OLPC) has been enthusiastically advocated for developing countries, too. However, despite a number of pioneering research studies, broader analyses of pedagogical, technical, and organizational aspects of one-to-one computing in developing countries are largely missing. In this participatory action research in a rural Tanzanian primary school, we identified a number of pedagogical elements that were beneficial for teaching and utilizing ICT in the classroom. We pinpointed exploratory and self-regulated learn…
Co-designing a social media service for civic participation
2010
User participation in social media design processes has similarities with civic participation for example in urban planning. Internet enables new virtual environments that can be planned collaboratively and be used for civic participation. In the Monimos case study we developed a social media website for immigrants and multicultural associations in a participatory design process together with the users. In this paper we present the critical issues in co-designing a social media service that aims at civic participation. We also give suggestions for how to cope with the challenges in a multicultural participation process. We claim that constant meta-level discussion about the goals and partic…
Design, cultura del cibo e del territorio
2020
L’ambito del “design per il territorio” si è progressivamente arricchito dall’interesse crescente e diffuso per il cibo, per la sua rilevanza nella qualità della vita delle persone e dell’ambiente e inoltre per l’efficacia delle produzioni dell’agro-alimentare nel rafforzare l’identità dei territori. Il design, disciplina che comunica ed elabora il racconto dei saperi tradizionali,è diventato un importante attore dello sviluppo della cultura del cibo, aspetto fondamentale della storia dell’uomo. Le letture socio-antropologiche per altri versi, invitano a considerare anche il design come un’attività primaria dell’essere umano. La riflessione sulla “dimensione antropologica del design”, perme…
Fake News. A design driven approach
2022
The phenomenon of Fake News affects both individual choices and political opinions and orientations. But pervasiveness of digital technologies and dissemination of fake news are two sides of the same coin; therefore, to stem Fake News we need advanced and interdisciplinary technologies and strategies. Starting from the culture of design, where visual communication and visual information support an ethical approach shared with journalistic communication. Finally, the Fake News project highlighted the innovative potential of Artificial Intelligence, which through metrics and algorithms, but also with the unavoidable contribution of people, for the different design skills involved, can support…
