Inclusão escolar: a perspectiva italiana analisada em estudo sobre a percepção de professores

The perspective observed in Italy about the school inclusion refers to a reality continually changing based on the school inclusion policy generalized to the country context. The knowledge associated with this perspective and the increasing new issues and challenges requires an unceasing improvement of the inclusive processes. The data displayed in this paper refers to an investigation conducted with teachers on their training process by means of an anonymous questionnaire involving five thematic areas. The research highlights the educational profiles, the skills of teachers in training and their perspectives regarding school inclusion. From the analysis of the data we are able to identify the important role of Special Education and Didactics on the enhancement of the inclusive processes in the context of school

Wellbeing and Inclusion : Closeness in the Distance = Benessere e inlcusione: presenza nella distanza

L’inclusione scolastica, quale processo teso a strutturare dinamiche dialogiche e di partecipazione per tutti, non può essere ridotta ai soli interventi compensativi per l’apprendimento degli alunni con bisogni educativi speciali. In tal senso, la professionalità degli insegnanti assume un ruolo centrale quale supporto consapevole e attento alle diverse dimensioni del benessere. L’analisi di una serie di interviste rivolte ad un team di docenti della scuola primaria coinvolto in un progetto di ricerca-formazione evidenzia le attenzioni didattico-metodologiche e le consapevolezze professionali che, durante i percorsi di DAD, hanno permesso alle insegnanti di realizzare un concreto processo di inclusione e un ambiente di benessere per alunni e famiglie.As a process aimed to enhance dialogical and participative dynamics for all, school inclusion cannot be reduced to a mere provision of learning compensatory measures for pupils with special educational needs. In this sense, teachers’ professionalism takes a critical role as an aware and careful support towards the many dimensions of wellbeing. The analysis of the interviews, carried out with a primary school team of teachers involved in a research-training project, highlights the didactics attentions and the professional awareness that, during remote schooling, has allowed teachers to accomplish a concrete process of inclusion, and a wellbeing environment for pupils and families

Maria Montessori e il “futuro” della medicina: alcuni elementi di una ricerca sul campo

In 1951, Maria Montessori said that there would be a great future for medicine if it started to cure the patients’ souls, rather than just their bodies. What does this statement mean? Medicine has to turn into something different than what it currently is? The aim of this article is to contribute to a possible interpretation of Montessori’s convincement, trying to overcome the separation between the medical and the pedagogical meanings of care. Starting from the data gathered through an ethnographical investigation carried out with a Special-Pedagogy perspective in many hospital divisions dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of Rare Illnesses, the author here discusses some critical aspects that affect medical actions of diagnosis and treatment dynamics.In order to set an interdisciplinary dialogue between medicine and pedagogy, this study provides some possible educational horizons for overcoming clinical mechanisms and elements that influence the identity development of the disabled person.In 1951, Maria Montessori said that there would be a great future for medicine if it started to cure the patients’ souls, rather than just their bodies.

Incertezze, paure e occasioni di dialogo tra Medicina e Pedagogia Speciale

Nel vortice pandemico dei primi mesi i processi di cura medica hanno subito l’influenza di più problemi su un duplice fronte: da una parte la spaventosa aggressività del virus, dall’altra i limitanti protocolli imposti per il contenimento del contagio. Il clima generatosi ha posto gli operatori sanitari di fronte a un’inusuale esperienza alla quale non è stato sempre facile dare un senso. L’analisi qualitativa di alcune testimonianze raccolte dalla pubblicistica di settore fa emergere alcune pressanti domande sugli elementi fondamentali nel processo di cura e permette di intessere una discussione critica, dove gli strumenti della riflessione pedagogico-speciale si configurano come supporto per lo sviluppo di una consapevole attenzione alla dimensione intersoggettiva.During the initial months of the pandemic, medical care processes were affected by multiple adversities: on the one hand the severity of the virus, on the other hand the restrictive protocols imposed to prevent the spreading of infection. In such a new context, healthcare workers have had to deal with an exceptional experience which is often demanding to understand. Qualitative analysis of selected evidence provided by physicians in medical literature has given rise to many urgent questions about the fundamental elements of care processes. In a critical discussion, the conceptual means of special pedagogy support the development of a clear awareness of the intersubjective dimension

Elementi per una rilettura pedagogico-speciale di un «serious philosophical problem»

The purpose of the article is to open a space for dialogue between disciplines known to be involved in bioethical debate, on the one hand, and studies of Special Pedagogy, on the other. If sindromic conditions are treated as the only yardstick of survey of existential possibilities of the unborn child, the reflection on disability condition risks to get exhausted in philosophical, moral and legal discussion, which are not comprehensive of the issue. Starting from a different consideration of deficit situation in the unborn and new born and taking on a pedagogical perspective on the theme, authors offer some elements for the construction of a new reflective horizon with which to developquestions and answers of different sign
