Publisher description

This Handbook evidences a historical thread of continuing practices and modus operandi in overt state propaganda and covert information operations. Further, it attempts to unveil current methods used by propaganda actors, the inherent vulnerabilities they exploit in the fabric of democratic societies and, last but not least, to highlight current pract...

For several decades, parent-child cognitive interaction researchers have acknowledged that children learn cognitive skills in the context of their social and early environments. These cognitive skills are often imparted to the children by parents or parenting others in formal or informal settings. Thus, for example, such informal settings as dinner table conversations, walks through grocery stores, museums, or neighborhoods become rich laboratories for children to learn varied cognitive skills ranging from numeracy, concepts, and language. The way in which those learning opportunities are provided by parents, structured by parents and scaffolded by parents may well vary depending on culture,...
Dies ist die 6. Ausgabe des Jahrbuchs Jugendforschung. Die Jugendforschung ist nach einer Phase, in der lange die Theoriebildung im Mittelpunkt stand, in der Lage, zunehmend auch angewandte Themen zu diskutieren. Durch die Auswahl mehrerer Schwerpunktthemen wie etwa Bildungsübergänge, Peers und Netzwerkforschung setzt diese Ausgabe Akzente in der Diskussion, die die Jugendforschung in Deutschland, aber auch in Kanada, Israel, Italien und USA derzeit führt.
“Il Bullismo e l’insuccesso scolastico” è la prima monografia sul bullismo pubblicata dall’autrice, costituita da quattro capitoli in cui vengono descritti rispettivamente: Il bullismo, l’insuccesso scolastico, la formazione degli insegnanti, il progetto e le ricerche sul bullismo nella scuola. I capitoli sono ricchi di approfondimenti e analizzano dettagliatamente tutte le tematiche, porgendo uno sguardo molto attento ai legami tra esse. L’autrice infatti è nota per la sua capacità di diagnosticare in modo molto preciso i problemi legati alla personalità e al bullismo, emettendone delle sintesi sofisticate ed eccellenti. Sfogliando il testo potrete subito notare la presenza di numerose teorie pedagogiche che possono essere utilizzate ancora oggi per formare gli insegnanti (Piaget, Bruner, Vygotskij, Maria Montessori, Freinet, Don Milani ecc.). Questo libro può essere utilizzato per la formazione dei docenti di tutte le scuole, perché all’interno sono presenti alcune parti dedicate allo sviluppo dell’aggressività sin dalla più tenera età e le ricerche dell’autrice sul bullismo nella scuola.
