La prospettiva neurodidattica nella valutazione delle competenze metodologicodidattiche dell’insegnante
2023
The boost provided by Brain-based studies is a source of inspiration and change for teaching and for teacher training (Gola, 2022). Reflection and self-reflection on the practices and methodological-didactic choices introduced in the classroom deserve careful analysis and a systematic and continuous assessment of educational procedures, methods and principles aimed at promoting the educational success of each learner (Albanese, Compagno, 2022). This contribution is placed in this perspective, which moves from a research project, already started in 2021, at the SPPEFF Department of the University of Palermo, and aimed at defining strategies and tools for the evaluation of neuroeducation acti…

Teachers' embodied allocations in instructional interaction
2012
This paper describes how teachers employ gaze, head nods and pointing gestures in allocating response turns to students in whole-class instructional interaction. Specifically, it focuses on examining teachers’ embodied allocations – that is, turn-allocations produced (mostly) by embodied means – and the sequential positions in which they are performed within the tripartite instructional sequence of IRE. While prior studies have noted their use in classroom interaction, the way in which they are drawn on by teachers has not been examined in detail. By using conversation analysis in conjunction with the study of embodied interaction, this article aims to show how these ephemeral embodied reso…
Engaging with mathematics in the kindergarten. Orchestrating a fairy tale through questioning and use of tools
2013
ABSTRACTThe aim of this study is to analyse how a kindergarten teacher orchestrated a mathematical activity involving a fairy tale. Taking a sociocultural perspective on learning and development, naturally occurring talk-in-interaction has been analysed in order to scrutinise the subtleties of the orchestration. The fairy tale Goldilocks and the Three Bears was used both as context for the activity, but also as a means through which mathematical concepts were engaged with. The analysis shows that the orchestration bears characteristics of questioning and use of tools such as voice, facial expressions, and concrete materials. The orchestration is also characterised by sincere planning in adv…
“It Is Not the Robot Who Learns, It Is Me.” Treating Severe Dysgraphia Using Child–Robot Interaction
2021
Writing disorders are frequent and impairing. However, social robots may help to improve children's motivation and to propose enjoyable and tailored activities. Here, we have used the Co-writer scenario in which a child is asked to teach a robot how to write via demonstration on a tablet, combined with a series of games we developed to train specifically pressure, tilt, speed, and letter liaison controls. This setup was proposed to a 10-year-old boy with a complex neurodevelopmental disorder combining phonological disorder, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, dyslexia, and developmental coordination disorder with severe dysgraphia. Writing impairments were severe and limited his parti…
Influence of the teaching program on the learning in knowledge and practice of osteonecrosis of the jaws produced by antireasorptives in dental stude…
2017
Background This study aims to evaluate the influence of changes in the teaching contents on medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw may have on the knowledge and the capacity for practical case resolution about this pathology. Material and methods A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted through a survey divided into four sections: degree of means of knowledge acquisition, habitual practice and ability to solve clinical cases. The total number of respondents (n = 225) was divided into two groups: Group A (Year 2015-2016) and Group B (Year 2016-2017). The students in Group B received more teaching content on the subject than group A. Results A total of 175 survey responses were …
La Literatura de tradició oral europea: una proposta de treball col·laboratiu
2013
La proposta es fonamenta en el treball col·laboratiu entre estudiants universitaris valencians i eslovacs en una investigació conjunta sobre els relats de tradició oral europeus, que contribuirà al desenvolupament de diverses competències socials, artístiques i culturals, i de la competència comunicativa en anglès. Pretenem així mateix utilitzar diversos dispositius tecnològics i xarxes socials, i iniciar un debat sobre la pertinència d'aquest tipus de treball col·laboratiu i sobre la seua efectivitat
Experiential Learning Using Social Media in International Business Education
2019
This study analyzes the attitudes and perceptions of students toward an experiential learning project in an international marketing Master’s course at a business school in Norway and at comparable institutions in the United States and Israel. The findings validate the implementation of experiential learning exercises that incorporate social media and technology as an effective alternative to traditional teaching methods, in order to enhance learning outcomes.

Practice-based learning and innovation in nursing homes
2020
Purpose This paper aims to investigate the conditions under which learning and innovation occur within nursing homes by focusing on how the dynamics of the distribution and transformation of ideas and knowledge may be viewed as a prerequisite for innovation in both formal, planned learning situations and informal, everyday practices. Design/methodology/approach Data was produced via fieldwork, which included participant observations, conversations and research interviews with staff and managers at a Norwegian nursing home. The paper is inspired by situated learning theories and communities of practice, as the social context emerges as the site where learning and innovation are cultivated. …
