Videogames and Inclusive Education project in Palermo Secondary School
2017
Attempting to support videogames for education and learning purposes has prompted considerable attention over the last years. The great variety of digital games available has provided much for educators and researchers to explore, resulting in intense disputes that many games have benefits both in and out of the classroom for learners of secondary school. Many games have been revealed as strong educational tools for their design as well as their effective implementation in the classroom. Thus far, research on the impact and outcomes of this pedagogy is somewhat limited, but promising. Further projects and evaluations are required to provide the support needed in order to encourage more teac…
Dal game-based learning ai serious games: alcune prospettive per l’apprendimento mediato dalla tecnologia digitale
2023
In the last years, serious games have become popular in media education as they are useful tools in engaging, motivating, and helping students learn. However, few studies investigate the long-term effects of game-based learning, and many scholars declare themself skeptical about the learning mediated by digital technology. This paper reflects on the importance of new media and serious games for young people belonging to the Net Generation as defined by Prensky. In particular, I support the idea that game-based learning reflects a broader change in our society, coinciding with the rise of the phenomenon of Gamification and the Homo Ludens paradigm. Apart from the limitations of technology-me…
MIND, BRAIN AND MEDIA EDUCATION. A Research Project on Cartoons with Teachers and University Students
2017
The paper proposes a reflection on the educational dimension of cartoons from the double point of view of Media Education and Neuroeducation. Cartoons are either a means to highlight the educational potential of the fictional fruition practice and an activator memory, attention, emotion and perception which are at the basis of cognition and learning. This contribution describes an education research carried out in the A.Y. 2015/2016 with 12 in-service teachers and 198 university students attending the course of Primary Education Sciences at the University of Palermo. They both experienced a media education training methodology mediated by the use of cartoons
Cartoons di qualità nella prima infanzia. I bambini e la media education
2014
I bambini, già dall’infanzia, amano e utilizzano i media. È utile, quindi, educarli ad un uso corretto dei prodotti mediali al fine di insegnare loro a comprenderne il linguaggio e valutarne i contenuti in maniera autonoma e responsabile. I media, pur avendo una loro maggiore o minore predisposizione a determinate valenze educative, sono degli strumenti, delle opportunità, la cui significatività e la cui pregnanza educativa dipende, in larga misura, dal modo in cui essi vengono usati. La scuola è chiamata ad assolvere l’importante compito di promuovere negli alunni le competenze necessarie per divenire fruitori ed interlocutori attivi dei media: entra qui in gioco la media education. Promuo…
I minori tra nuovi e vecchi media
2020
Il contributo presenta il tema generale della sessione coordinata dall'autrice, sottolineando come il rapporto tra infanzia, media ed educazione, sia diventato sempre più attuale. Quasi ogni aspetto della vita dei minori ha una dimensione online, sia attraverso il loro impegno diretto con le TIC sia attraverso la gestione istituzionale di contenuti o servizi che ne influenzano le condizioni di vita. In questo modo diventa sempre più complesso tracciare il confine tra offline e online, ed è per questo che è necessario esaminare in che modo questo ambiente in evoluzione influisca sul benessere e sullo sviluppo dei bambini dei loro diritti. Il dibattito attuale in molte parti del mondo su mino…
La competenza digitale all’università per la progettazione di percorsi di Media Education Digital literacy at university to design Media Education
2015
La crescente digitalizzazione e globalizzazione dei media, l’ampia diversificazione dell’offerta mediale, con i problemi valoriali ed etici che essa pone, ripresentano e confermano le ragioni che fanno dell’educazione ai media un compito imprescindibile di chi si occupa di educazione. Con interventi educativi specifici e fornendo loro adeguati strumenti di valutazione e di autovalutazione, i futuri educatori vanno aiutati ad acquisire le adeguate competenze digitali necessarie per l’acquisizione della capacità di scelta autonoma e responsabile dei media che permetta loro di progettare percorsi di media education in ambito educativo. La competenza mediale sollecita la capacità di insegnanti …

Journalism and fake news in the Covid-19 era. Perspectives for media education in Italy
2020
In this article, drawing from the data collected by the AGCOM during the pandemic crisis, we argue that the emergence of COVID 19 has made more evident the new relationships between the informative cybercascades, the significant need of news during a crisis, the presence of disinformation online, and the relevant consequences on collective narrations, often producing a generalized panic. We also argue that infotainment can be considered a critical turning point in the relationship between true and false in the news because of its fusion of facts, drama, and emotional narrative frames so that it is no longer possible to separate reality from media reconstruction of it. We finally argue that …
