Abstract: This paper presents a reflection on the subject of traditional reading and digital reading, and focuses on the pedagogical implications when moving from print to a digital reading environment. It stresses out the differences between the digital reading of the texts, such as the e-books, and the digital reading on the Internet. Based on the acquisitions coming mainly from the neuroscientific scope, it suggests the complexity of online reading is not favorable to the readers who are at the beginning of their path of literacy. The paper notes that for the novice read- ers is more appropriate to read both on printed page and on digital content that maintain largely the printing features - such as stability, linearity, the fulfillment of the content. These features attract the full attention of the reader and encour-age the development of cognitive processes at the base of a deep reading. These processes must be strengthened expecially at the beginning of the reading learning process. The online reading can be addressed later, using metacognitive techniques and self-regulated strategies that accustom the reader to stop on a text and to monitor his/her comprehension, to resist a superficial reading, and to engage the research for a deeper meaning. The article emphasizes the importance of integrating the two forms of reading and to promote the best of both literacies.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors illustrate the project experiences carried out in numerous creches and nursery schools both in Tuscany and some European countries, using Contemporary Art to enhance children's creativity.
Abstract: Pedagogy has shown as children’s first drawings, pictures and graphic expressions are not simply scribbles: on the contrary, they are real, meaningful outlines of a story. In order to enhance the meaning of children’s drawings, the ‘workshop’ pedagogic-didactic model seems to be the most suited for a similar approach to aesthetic education. In light of these theoretical and methodological premises, this essay illustrates the project experiences carried out in numerous creches and nursery schools both in Tuscany and some European countries, using Contemporary Art to enhance children’s creativity. The project activities involved the children’s whole sensorial sphere, together with their emotional experiences, arousing curiosity and promoting children’s individuality and harmonic development as well.

TL;DR: In this article, the main object of pedagogical research is relationship among people who share the same context, and the analysis follows a linguistic approach, from a theoretical and metaphysical kind of language to a language of forms of life.
Abstract: The aim of this paper is to show that the main object of pedagogical research is relationship among people who share the same context. The analysis follows a linguistic approach, from a theoretical and metaphysical kind of language to a language of forms of life. After the linguistic turn, particularly in Ludwig Wittgenstein, forsaking a Platonic language means throwing language in forms of life, and blending it with people and their lives. So an educational process has to leave the unique, traditional pattern to open itself to different voices of life.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conduct a critical reading of the concept of resilience, discussing the implications for pedagogy, and express the pedagogical value of resilience within a critical view of adaptation and social change.
Abstract: The article conducts a critical reading of the concept of resilience, discussing the implications for pedagogy. In the first part of the work, after reviewing the origins of the concept of resilience in evolutionary studies on risk and protection factors in the life cycle, the original psychoanalytic matrix is put into place, which extends the concept of coping and defense mechanisms. In the second part of the work, the pedagogical value of the concept of resilience is discussed within a critical view of adaptation and social change. This is expressed within a model of critical pedagogy already well defined and aimed at enhancing the significance of resistance against the social pathologies of our time, such as the basis of educational action in a particularly democratic and valuable sense.

Abstract: According to the author of this study, the nature of Aristotle’s work is, at the same time, humanistic and anthropocentric, unlike Plato’s work, which is hu- manistic and theocentric.
