Inquiry-Based Laboratory e formazione dei futuri docenti di sostegno. Apprendere per competenze nel laboratorio di “Didattica speciale: codici del li…
2022
L’Unione Europea ha più volte sottolineato l’urgenza di un rinnovamento nell’educazione e sollecitato gli Stati membri ad intervenire con iniziative atte a migliorare i sistemi di formazione degli insegnanti (Pascucci, 2014). In tale contesto gli Atenei, in accordo ai decreti ministeriali, predispongono i relativi percorsi formativi, diversificati per gradi di istruzione e introducendo l’obbligatorietà di frequenza dei laboratori. Il termine stesso laboratorio rimanda al concetto di “lavoro attivo”, un luogo dove è possibile mantenere e legittimare il divenire della professionalizzazione docente. Il laboratorio, dunque, promuove nello studente un apprendimento significativo ovvero in grado …
EdenMed: innovazione sostenibile. Il modello Inquiry based Learning in educazione
2022
Il tema della sostenibilità è oggi al centro di un dibattito che si va progressivamente articolando e arricchendo, mettendone in luce la complessità e sottolineando al contempo la necessità di un approccio olistico ed ecosistemico (Bhattacharjee, Debnath; Hinzen, Schmitt, 2016; Leicht, Heiss, Byun, 2018; Lundvall, Fröberg, 2022; Malavasi, 2020; Stein et alii, 2022;). L’Agenda 2030, firmata da tutti i Paesi dell’ONU nel 2015, impegna governi, comunità educanti e singoli verso un nuovo modello di sviluppo sostenibile, capace di ristabilire un equilibrio tra i diversi sistemi prima che si arrivi ad un punto di non ritorno. La sostenibilità non è una questione puramente ambientale. Con l’agenda…
Sixth graders’ selection and integration when writing from multiple online texts
2022
AbstractThis study examined students’ ability to select relevant ideas from multiple online texts and integrate those ideas in their written products. Students (N = 162) used a web-based platform to complete an online inquiry task in which they read three texts presenting different perspectives on computer gaming and wrote an article for a school magazine on the issue based on these texts. Students selected two snippets from each text during reading and wrote their article with the selected snippets available. The selected snippets were scored according to their relevance for completing the task, and the written products were scored according to their integration quality. The results showed…
The construction of academic identity in the changes of Finnish higher education
2013
This article sets out to explore how academics make sense of the current transformations of higher education and what kinds of academic identities are thereby constructed. Based on a narrative analysis of 42 interviews with Finnish academics, nine narratives are discerned, each providing a different answer as to what it means to be an academic in the present-day university. Narratives of resistance, loss, administrative work overload and job insecurity are embedded in a regressive storyline, describing deterioration of academic work and one's standing. In a sharp contrast, narratives of success, mobility and change agency rely on a progressive storyline which sees the current changes in a p…
Addressing Complexity in Science|Environment|Health Pedagogy
2019
This paper aims to discuss complexity as a key feature for understanding the role of science knowledge in environmental and health contexts—a central issue in Science|Environment|Health pedagogy. Complex systems are, in principle, not predictable. In different contexts, ephemeral mechanisms produce different, sometimes completely unexpected results. The art of decision-making in complex contexts is to take scientific knowledge into account but to interpret its meaning in terms of concrete complex contexts. This is illustrated by four empirical studies on Science|Environment|Health issues, presented midway through this paper. The findings underscore the importance of introducing complexity i…
Visualising the temporal aspects of collaborative inquiry-based learning processes in technology-enhanced physics learning
2018
This study presents new ways of visualising technology-enhanced collaborative inquiry-based learning (CIBL) processes in an undergraduate physics course. The data included screen-capture videos from a technology-enhanced learning environment and audio recordings of discussions between students. We performed a thematic analysis based on the phases of inquiry-based learning (IBL). The thematic analysis was complemented by a content analysis, in which we analysed whether the utilisation of technological tools was on a deep-level, surface-level, or nonexistent basis. Student participation was measured in terms of frequency of contributions as well as in terms of impact. We visualised the sequen…
