Business Cooperation - Improving The Working Life Relevance of Higher Education
2021
Education programmes should provide students with the skills for working life. This is important not only for students, but also for companies. Skills refers, in addition to competence in a specific area, to general competencies, working life practices in common use and, for example, knowledge of software used in the business world. It is even more important to take into account the needs of working life when teaching adult students, who often study alongside work with the aim of progressing in their careers. In spring 2019, Kokkola University Consortium Chydenius conducted a survey targeting information and communication technology (ICT) companies in its local area. The results highlighted…
Metacognitive Awareness Teaching Tool Kit (MATTK). Reflective teaching for critical thinking and creativity development in classroom.
2016
Situation awareness has long been recognized as an important variable in teacher performance. Research to date has focused on identifying characteristics of situation awareness for individuals, not on the behaviors and processes associated with situation awareness. The purpose of this review is to delineate and identify characteristics of teacher metacognitive awareness. In addition, implications are discussed and research questions are outlined that target the measurement and training of situation awareness. The research has examined the positive correlation between the meta cognitive awareness of teachers and the development of two soft skills (critical thinking and creativity) in student…

Las soft skills del docente
2021
L’esercizio di una adeguata professionalità docente coinvolge dimensioni motivazionali, comunicative, pratiche e vocazionali che vanno ben oltre le specificità dei contesti d’aula, partecipando allo sviluppo complessivo dell’organizzazione scolastica e ad iniziative e progetti condotti dalla scuola nel rapporto con la più ampia realtà di ordine familiare, comunitario e sociale in cui è immersa. Quali competenze connotano il docente professionista oggi? Quali azioni e dispositivi di autovalutazione possono supportarne lo sviluppo professionale? Il concetto di competenza rimanda ad una serie di conoscenze specialistiche necessarie, ma non più sufficienti per la formazione degli insegnanti: le…
Democratic Education and Promotion of Social Skills in Schools and Classrooms as Primary Prevention: An Overview of the Discourse in Germany
2012
Because of its strong impact as a social environment, school represents one of the primary focal points of students’ lives and therefore also functions as a powerful agent of socialization during adolescence. Thus the school is a significant object of study not only as a crime scene, but also as a factor in facilitating or deterring violence.

2022
Questo volume riporta i contributi dei colleghi che hanno partecipato al Convegno promosso dalla SIRD assieme all’Università di Palermo sul tema del rapporto tra ricerca didattica e formazione degli insegnanti. Si tratta di un volume che testimonia il grande lavoro che i colleghi della SIRD assieme alle associazioni degli insegnanti e alle scuole stanno portando avanti in una realtà complessa in cui la formazione professionale degli insegnanti non è ancora riuscita ad affermarsi come una esigenza a cui fornire una risposta strutturata, una risposta di sistema. Il convegno di Palermo è stato realizzato anche con l’intenzione di riconoscere il ruolo che il prof. Zanniello, che in quest’occasi…
Protocol: Literature review on the psychometric properties of the short versions of the scales of social desirability in the answers to competency se…
2018
[EN] Research in business organization in general and talent management (in university or professional students) uses in many cases self-administered questionnaires as a source of data to assess people's competencies. In clinical psychology, it has been shown that self-evaluations of behaviors may present a bias of social desirability. However, even in this field of research it is not usual to measure its effect when taking data. Our work proposes a protocol to find a set of scales of social desirability (SD) with less than 20 items that are valid and reliable. We also intend to identify if SD scales are associated with the self-assessments of some transversal competences.

Training Language Mediators and Interpreters through Embodied Cognition, Immersive Learning and Virtual Reality: Didactic, Organizational and Cost Be…
2022
The use of Virtual Reality (VR) for training purposes has expanded exponentially in the last decade. This paper specifically examines the use of VR in the training of language mediators and interpreters. By way of exemplification, the paper describes a training project at the University of Palermo, the “Coopera” project. The physically-cognitively immersive ‘learning by doing’ factor that characterizes a VR educational experience is particularly well-suited to skill- based activities. The paper explains how the immersive nature of VR and the notion of ‘embodied cognition’ is particularly suited to mediator/interpreter training by plausibly reproducing daily life situations and providing a ‘…
