This work reports the results of an exploratory survey conducted among educators and teachers of the educational sector 0-6 in the Municipality of Rome. Due to the lockdown caused by the spread of Covid 19, also in Rome, as in most part of the world, nursery and kindergarten operators have been forced to organize distance didactic, using digital tecnology, to maintain the relationship with children and their families. In order to understand the ways in which they organized distance learning and their opinions on the matter, an online questionnaire was created and submitted. Interesting findings emerged: all the respondents (n=318) put a lot of effort into the design of distance learning approaches even if almost all (except 5) declared that they had no training in the use of digital technologies for educational purposes and never had them previously adopted.   L’uso delle tecnologie digitali per la costruzione di contesti educativi a distanza nel Nido e nella Scuola dell’Infanzia. Una indagine esplorativa.   Questo lavoro riporta gli esiti di un’indagine esplorativa condotta tra gli educatori e i docenti del settore educativo 0-6 del Comune di Roma. A causa della chiusura determinata dalla diffusione del Covid 19, anche a Roma, come nel resto del mondo, le operatrici dei nidi e delle scuole d’infanzia hanno organizzato interventi educativi a distanza, utilizzando le tecnologie digitali, per mantenere la relazione con i bambini e le loro famiglie. Per conoscere le modalità, le tecnologie adottate e le loro opinioni in merito, è stato costruito un questionario distribuito online. Sono emerse questioni interessanti: tutte le rispondenti (n=318) hanno posto molto impegno nella progettazione di interventi didattici a distanza anche se la quasi totalità (eccetto 5) ha dichiarato di non avere alcuna formazione nell’uso delle tecnologie digitali a scopo educativo e di non averle mai adottate in precedenza.

Professional Perceptions

In the relationship between teachers and distance learning in the context of COIVD-19, a series of unprecedented dynamics have emerged relating to a process of open-air experimentation that is going on in the world of school. The main constructs investigated in this paper concern the professional perceptions of teachers in terms of their skills and resistances towards digital technologies. To investigate this topic, a questionnaire on distance learning was administered to a sample of 658 teachers. From a methodological point of view, factor and reliability analyses and correlation and regression analyses were conducted. From the analysis of the results, it emerged that the questionnaire measures the resistance of teachers to distance learning and focuses on three main dimensions (two positive and one negative) that link teachers’ perceptions to the resistance to distance learning. In conclusion, the theme of the acceptance of technologies in the practice of teachers is still a subject full of meaning for professional perception and vision. A second issue concerns precisely the relationship between digital technologies and users, which must no longer focus only on the relationship with students but also on the perspective of the other training actors, including teachers.

This article describes the role of myth and some universal themes of myth, such as the creation of the world, a huge flood, death, and the end of the world. Almost all the world's myths concern this universal themes, as seen from the similarity of some of the myths followed by many cultures in the world. These myths have primary functions to human’s behavior and attitude because people keep telling almost the same myths to their predecessors. The goals for this research are (1) knowing the functions of myths with famous themes from various culture and (2) knowing the background and relationship between myths and modern culture. The result describes the relationship between the cultural myths, where the core of the story is the truth of humanity. In addition, myth acts as a template to organize their daily activities as well as human activity, but it also serves to introduce human to a greater power in the universe. The values in each story will be interpreted as rules and customs that must be met, and this has resulted in the emergence of a culture passed down from generation to generation.

The prevalence of smoking is explained by social norms in society in most countries of the world, the force of the narcotic action of tobacco poisons, and the realization of interests of large transnational monopolies. A person who starts smoking gradually develops a physical and psychological dependence on nicotine: 80% of people who begin experimenting with cigarettes get "hooked" and quickly become regular smokers. Almost all those who start smoking under the age of 18 experience difficulties aspiring to get rid of this vice till the end of their days. The analysis of the content and orientation of the subculture of tobacco smokers allows speaking about it as an antisystem and an extremely negative phenomenon, since it contributes to the inclusion and fixation of tobacco smoking. The complexity of the relationship between tobacco smokers and the different levels of their social environment determines the relevance of the study set out in the article.

Our knowledge is constantly shifting from analog literacies to digital literacies, industrial literacies to information societies, paper literacies to screen literacies, and mono-modal literacies to multimodal literacies for which digital technology and/or digital culture has become a dynamic and evolving force. Concerning the literacy shifts whether we realize or not, we are invariably encountering digital technologies and are explicitly and/or implicitly embracing such knowledge shift in almost all across the world without any exception. This knowledge shift demonstrates that digital literacy has become an inescapable component of our daily life in the context of the 21st century's digital world. In this chapter, I will discuss affordances of cloud/digital pedagogies such as what teaching, learning, and writing are in digital context, how digital, cloud, or crowd pedagogy currently became an inescapable element, and why instructors from any global communities (should) welcome this pedagogical shift in academic spaces. Additionally, this chapter stresses on how instructors can engage students in the cloud environment, how students can share a complex set of linguistic and cultural narratives, and how students can collaborate and cooperate to create their realities in the context of the 21st century's networked classrooms.

ABSTRACT We are living in the time of aging of almost all societies in the world. There are at least two long-term causes of aging world and a temporary blip that will continue to show up in the figures for the next few decades. The first of the big reasons is that people everywhere are living far longer than they used to. A second and bigger cause of the aging of societies is that people everywhere are having far fewer children, so the younger age groups are much too small to counterbalance the growing number of older people. These facts will certainly turn the world into a different place. In this paper, we would like to stress the relationship between economic growth, aging and decline fertility as well as social consequences of both.

Wide Horizon

Digitalization has given rise to a substantially new civilizational and existential situation. The mankind development was associated with the creation of collective memory in the form of culture as a system for generating, storing and transmitting social experience, including the creation of an artificial environment. For the main part of history, man likened the world to himself, which made the world understandable. However, over time, the tools and means became less and less anthropomorphic. The world has increasingly become like complex mechanisms. Since the beginning of the 20th century, the relationship between man and machine has become one of the main themes in art. They gave rise to a wide horizon of aesthetic comprehension of this topic: from the pathos of transforming reality (including the person himself) to alarm and horror. However, modern digitalization creates an artificial environment that involves not only the natural environment, but also the biological nature of man. The person himself turns into an artifact. Moreover, under the conditions of digitalization, culture turns into a kind of machine, when reality appears as the realization of a “transcendental” digital code, which acts as an original source for any number of artifacts as its copies. This situation cannot but affect art and aestheticization, which are reduced to the flow of processing digitized data. It is not about new digital technologies in art. It is about changing the format of the entire process of artistic creation and aesthetic reception. A person is transformed from a user of consumption and creativity options into one of the options for a digital mega-machine.

This paper presents results from phase one of a large-scale, two-phase research project investigating self-access centre (SAC) experts’ (Centre Directors; Centre Managers; Centre Coordinators; Learning Advisors) beliefs about the roles and purposes of SACs. The project adopts both the fundamental assumptions and approaches of learner belief studies in SLA and teacher cognition research in education. However, it examines neither learners nor teachers; instead, all the participants are SAC practitioners. Phase one of the study begins by surveying, through an online questionnaire, the different beliefs these practitioners have about self-access learning and SAC practice. This paper describes how the data was collected and analysed, as well as selecting a few interesting findings to highlight the value of conducting beliefs study on SAC experts. The findings reported in this paper need to be triangulated with follow up interviews (phase two) in order to construct a more accurate understanding of the beliefs held by the participants. Therefore, any conclusions or implications regarding the relationship between practitioners’ beliefs and SAC practice remain incomplete. Nevertheless, the findings from phase one provide an insightful preliminary picture of the diversity of both practice and practitioner from SACs across the world and open up a valuable avenue for further discussion.
