Starting in the 1970s, the Italian government has passed a set of legislative provisions known as integrazione scolastica. Separate special education classes were abolished and all students were admitted into mainstream schools, regardless of any disability, impairment, or any other personal characteristic or social circumstance. The Italian model seems to be an ideal context for the development of inclusive education when compared to other realities in Europe and in the world, where, in some cases, special schools and/or classes are still the only available options for students with disabilities or impairments. Does such perception correspond to reality? This book aims to critically analyse and discuss the Italian model of inclusive education from international and intercultural perspectives, as a way to address a crucial theme for educators, school administrators, policymakers, citizens and parents.
This book is aimed at appreciating and further developing the work of Pina Boggi Cavallo. She was a scholar that fully embodied the spirit of the first cognitive revolution in psychology, whose ideal was to consider human being in its totality. The focus of scientific investigation in her work, were the processes of thought, as connected to the affective and ethical dimensions, the social construction of the developing Self within the real context of its making. The book is organized in three sections: Sowing: the selected works of Pina Boggi Cavallo translated in English; Fertilizing: invited commentaries which develop the ideas of Pina Boggi Cavallo in the current and future scientific landscape; Cultivating: invited chapters by international scholars, including some who collaborated with her.
Il lavoro di ricerca ha come oggetto di studio la valutazione della ricerca universitaria, in un momento in cui il tema della distribuzione delle risorse pubbliche in base a criteri di efficienza e merito è al centro del dibatito politico ed economico. Vengono esaminate e messe a confronto cinque realtà universitarie di paesi europei, al tempo stesso si cerca di evidenziare, atraverso un’indagine campionaria, la percezione dei sistemi di valutazione da parte di ricercatori degli stessi paesi. Lo studio si propone di verificare l’ipotesi che un sistema rigoroso di valutazione della ricerca sia condizione necessaria, ma non sufficiente per produrre un innalzamento qualitativo della rice...
La vita di Nadia è un percorso frastagliato che mira all’evoluzione spirituale dell’individuo attraverso il tatto fisico e morale. Il suo dolore avviene, come per molti, troppo presto, nell’infanzia, senza però abbattere la naturale predisposizione al bene che ha portato Nadia nel lavoro di massoterapista prima e poi comunicatrice con le anime passate, fino a sviluppare e brevettare il metodo Naiadis . A vent’anni, un incidente stradale che poteva essere mortale, apre il suo cuore a ricevere messaggi dall’alto. Messaggi angelici di speranza e benessere. Il suo, un incontro d’amore e luce, nella selva di difficoltà quotidiane che pesano sull’umanità intera. Un libro, questo, che stimola all’ascolto della propria voce interiore e alla ricerca della consapevolezza di un amore universale.
Dedicato ai miei genitori che mi hanno dato la vita. Grazie papà, per avermi spronata e sostenuta a prendere il mio diploma. Grazie mamma, per essermi stata accanto nei momenti più critici della mia vita, e per avermi trasmesso la tua gioia la tua allegria e la tua gaiezza di vivere. A mia sorella Maria Pia che si è sempre presa cura di me, prendendomi per mano…… lei con la sua “razionalità” mentre io con la mia stravaganza, imprudenza, temerarietà, incoscienza e determinazione. Abbiamo e stiamo camminando insieme in questa vita, ma in maniera un po’ diversa, sempre unite anima e corpo. È sempre stata al mio fianco, vigile e attenta. E all’inizio dei mie percorsi di “crescita”, pur non condividendo le mie esperienze, l’ho sempre sentita al mio fianco, specialmente alla morte di papà. Nadia Argenzano
