EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE IN PRE-ADOLESCENT IMMIGRANTS OF SECOND GENERATION

The goal of this research has investigated if individual levels of EI in adolescent immigrants of second generation are related to different indicators of psychological adjustment such as individual well-being and peer relationships. To this aim, a group of 266 students of two schools in Palermo: 63 immigrants and 203 autochthonous aged from 10 to 18 (M=13.6, SD=25.3) EI was measured using a recently published Italian test IE-ACCME (D’Amico, 2013) addressed to preadolescents and adolescents and aimed at measuring the four branches of emotional intelligence described in Mayer & Salovey’s model (1997) using both self-report and performance measures. Psychological well-being was measured using…

New trends in teacher’s education. Educational placement of the adopted child

2014

In Italy, the number of adopted school-age children is increasing. According to Commission of Intercountry Adoption (2013), 3106 children were adopted , 47.5% of them are between 5 and 9 years old. The present action-research aims to explore the spread of good approaches in schools in terms of welcoming of adopted children. For this purpose 268 teachers of primary schools were involved to analyze the social representation about adopted children and their family. The results show a semplified vision of the adoptive family, which is described as heroic family or, on the contrary, as an a family with difficulty.

Educational requirements and skills for social inclusion: the CPIA 189 resources for unaccompanied migrant minors

2021

The work hypothesis of the paper is a correlation between language proficiency and social inclusion. From the alphabetization to the Italian language and prospects of social inclusion, the survey conducted in Sicily in 2017, analyses educational needs by interviewing 503 unaccompanied migrant minors (UAM) attending the CPIA in the whole Sicily. By analysing linguistic skills, family, social conditions of departure and permanence in Italy, the research defines the main socio-linguistic profiles and possible paths for training offer and services addressed to UAMs, as key points to start a process of inclusion that transforms in resource what is instead is seen as a problem.

Attori e processi per una nuova idea di spazio urbano. Due casi in Piemonte.

2014

Urban space and public space are far beyond to be just spatial categories. They are the expression of societies where their sets of values are displayed. Urban design participatory processes shouldn’t be taken as the expression of a professional abdication, but in the perspective where citizens are owners and users of public areas. Beside, administrators represent groups of citizens but hardly can convey the detailed level of knowledge about history, dynamics and issues of a place. Hence citizens are the embedded intelligence of an urban realm. This paper outlines the experience of a research group at Politecnico di Torino engaged on participatory urban design and planning processes in the …

Coltivare la salute mentale: dignità, partecipazione e creatività attraverso il lavoro

2022

This chapter, trying to imagine a reversal of the conditions of marginality or disincentives to the participation of subjects with mental suffering, deals with the pioneering case of the Cooperativa Solidarietà in Palermo. Specifically, among the experiences carried out by its members, the Vivaio Ibervillea, in which people with mental suffering have been working and self-actualising together with other citizens and professionals for many years, is considered particularly significant. The parameters that we take into consideration, in an exploratory key, to define whether or not this case can be considered a good practice, include some elements that are also analysed in other case studies i…

Verso una disciplina giuridica della sharing mobility nell’Unione europea

2020

L’articolo propone un’analisi delle principali questioni relative alla regolamentazione dei servizi di sharing (o shared) mobility. Attraverso una disamina dei tratti peculiari dei diversi modelli di organizzazione economica per l’offerta di servizi di mobilità condivisa, si ricostruiscono i principali nodi problematici connessi tanto alla definizione di regole di governo del mercato dei nuovi servizi di mobilità, quanto all’esigenza di garantire una mobilità che sia anche veicolo di inclusione sociale e di sostenibilità ambientale. Nel farlo, l’articolo offre una riflessione critica sulle opposte polarità che caratterizzano il dibattito corrente in tema di sharing mobility: per un verso, l…

Quali regole per la sharing mobility in Europa. Un’introduzione

2020

All over Europe urban mobility services are subject to specialized regulatory regimes. In the last decade, new technologies have upended the sector, making possible new ways of organizing the industry. Platforms like Uber and Lyft have been among the first to seize these possibilities. However, they have often done so without regard for national and local laws. In response to these changes many EU jurisdictions have amended their sectoral regulations, revisiting issues such as licensing, background checks and insurance. The result has been a vast landscape of legal, commercial, and political conflict where local administrators, private operators and citizens are obliged to act within a norm…

A composite indicator of social inclusion for European countries

2012

Social inclusion is one of seven key challenges of the European Union Sustainable Development Strategy. We use a set of sub-indicators to measure social inclusion for 26 member countries of the European Union. In particular, we aggregate four basic indicators in a multiplicative composite indicator via a DEA-BoD approach with weights determined endogenously by imposing proportion constraints. We obtain a score of social inclusion that allows us to grade 26 European countries in 2008, 2009 and 2010 during the European phase of the financial and economic crisis.

Impact of a physical education service-learning programme on ASD children: A mixed-methods approach

2021

Abstract Background. Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have few opportunities to engage in physical activity, which affects their already limited social and motor skills. Different Service-Learning (SL) proposals designed to meet this need have started to emerge, and research is required to better understand the services provided. Objective. Two objectives were established in this study: (1) to understand the impact of a physical education SL programme from the viewpoints of Physical Education Teacher Education (PETE) students and the families of the children with ASD involved; and (2) to analyse the programme’s effects on the motor domain of children with ASD (physical activity …
