Un debito scientifico ed umano che trova il suo locus naturale in questa prima parte del testo stesso, cui farà poi seguito la parte propriamente scientifica. In siffatta parentesi dovuta per le ragioni appena menzionate, il lettore, l'amico o l'allievo dell'opera del Prof. Fusco potranno trovare un suo sintetico Curriculum Vitae, correlato da una specifica ed accurata prosa, svolta dal già Magnifico Rettore Carlo Cipolli; il quale, oltre che evidenziare, ricordando, i meriti del collega oramai scomparso, aggiunge alsuo scritto un elemento che sarebbe imprescindibile a non trasformare lo stesso in una mera sequenza di parole: l'amicizia e l'affetto per un amico che, oramai, non c'è più. A fine lettura, evidente risuonerà il fatto che la vita di ognuno,...

Starting from the W.H.O. (World Health Organization) definitions of quality of life and health, and analysing the studies that describe the benefits of both movement physical and mental, a three months protocol has been set for the pursuit of a diet and personalized training. For this purpose, 20 healthy subjects from the 1st year of the Physiotherapy degree, who had never practiced sports at an agonistic level, have been recruited. All individuals were subject to initial evaluations to define psycho-physical wellbeing, then they have been divided into two groups: the first group, defined as experimental, followed the protocol for the duration of the study, while the second, was only subject to evaluation. At the end of the three months period, the subjects of both groups were evaluated tw...

The same u.s. R. Reina, M. Ventura and C.L. Cristofaro 4 supervisory authority activated in the last years an appropriate study in order to control the medical applications downloaded directly through mobile devices and able to influence health performance. this work-with a mixed approach-presents the results of the exploratory and descriptive studies in order to make clear the general dynamics and functionality of the medicine category apps.

In this paper we summarize who is the professional Pedagogist and what is his professional profile, what are his conceptual and operative tools and what exemplary problems apply. Pedagogy is a social science, a science strictly speaking, and by its own nature a social profession, whose origins refer to classical Greece and to Latinity. “Pedagogist” is called, properly, the apical professional. We take in a synthetic examination some important examples of the rich and diversified “toolbox” the Pedagogist can use in its professional practice, in the context of a composite culture for a plurality of Inputs of various disciplinary origins, regarding the professional practising. Several social and psychological sciences give their contributions, like “educational sciences”.

Ma l'innovazione è stata largamente sminuita da scelte sbagliate, sia politiche che pedagogiche e didattiche, e da visioni inadeguate.

Si tratta, quindi, di concettualità a spettro molto ampio, suscettibili d’approcci multidiscipinari e riferimenti a sedi e a modalità molto diverse; si potrebbe, ad esempio, partire dalla fondamentale opera di Shannon e Weaver, modello base per ogni studio successivo (fonte – codifica – canale – decodifica – destinazione, con considerazione del rumore e con il ruolo della ridondanza, ma non del Feedback) 1 ; ripercorrere la scansione delle sei funzioni della comunicazione di Jakobson (emotiva, fàtica, conativa, poetica, metalinguistica, referenziale; da riferirsi rispettivamente al contesto, al mittente, al destinatario, al contatto, al messaggio e al codice) 2 ; oppure le tre funzioni fondamentali del linguaggio dell’adulto di Halliday (ideativa, interpersonale e testuale) 3 ; od ancora i sei assiomi della comunicazione della scuola di Palo Alto 4 . E via elencando: i referenti non mancano per uno studio specialistico.

We’re also discussing the role of the University regarding the social and intellectual professions, and we summarize the cultural background designing operating principles of immediate employability. Per una nuova figura professionale In questo saggio si delineano il contesto culturale ed istituzionale e i tratti fondamentali di una nuova professione, quella dell’operatore psicopedagogico della scuola, un’articolazione della funzione docente che puo diventare una professione autonoma con un proprio statuto epistemologico, d’esercizio e di metodologia. Discutendo anche del ruolo dell’Universita riguardo alle professioni sociali ed intellettuali, si sintetizza il retroterra cultural...

The results were approved by the competent committee of the Council of Europe, and the thesis was also approved with distinction. The research was rapidly and encouragingly developed both as a mathematical and physical modelling and as a study of situations of vestibological interest, but it had to be abandoned on both sides for reasons not intrinsic to the project and despite the results already achieved. That discourse is resumed, in continuity and for coherent lines, in particular on the evolution of the physical-mathematical models to be used, with regard to concerning the anisotropy of perceptual space, about t...

Today, following the ongoing passage to the new Age, Pedagogy has two relevant and important tasks: to give back to the "explicit" political sphere the 'privacy' that used to carry out political functions in the previous century; to evaluate the so called 'privacy' fully.

In the Italian school and society remains a serious lack of scientific culture, which has well-defined philosophical and pedagogical origins requiring answers on the same fields, as well as to all matters relating to the technical and scientific teaching in our country. These answers must obviously take proper account of the specific culture in this discipline. Pedagogia e Didattica della Chimica In questo saggio si espone un complesso organico di riflessioni e di proposte sulla Didattica della Chimica, con riferimento alla ricerca nel settore e alla formazione dei docenti. L’incultura scientifica che permane nella scuola e nella societa italiane ha origini filosofiche e pedagogiche ben precise, che richiedono risposte sullo stesso terreno che tengano conto della competenza disciplinare, come ...

Its conceptual and operational framework, its technical vocabulary and everything that constitutes an advanced professional knowledge dates back 2500 years of history of Pedagogy, beginning with its origins in classical Greece. Its recent foundations can be found in the Sozialpadagogik, in the same Mitteleuropean cultural environment where other social professions of recent birth have their ground. Here are summarized the essential features of this profession, its methodology, its principles, its practical procedures, with special attention to the problems of couple and family, and those belonging to the initial education and its recognition by law which in Italy have not been solved yet. The branch of General Pedagogy which includes this subject is...
