Massimiliano Tarozzi – Globalisation, Societies and Education, 2024
This paper provides a critical analysis of Freire's Italian reception and argues that reinventing Freire requires us to historicise and to contextualise his legacy, which in Italy makes sense in consonance with the already existing Italian popular education tradition. Based on the case study of his 1989 honorary degree at the University of…

W.; Žukauskiene, Rita – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2022
Evidence suggests an impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health, particularly among emerging adults. However, theories on altruism born of suffering or adversarial growth suggest that we might also see prosocial behavior as a function of the pandemic, which may protect against mental health challenges. Because cultural values are central in…

This article aims at questioning these boundaries. It analyzes young people's practices in the public sphere that are characterized by both…

Gottardello, Debora; Karabag, Solmaz Filiz – Studies in Higher Education, 2022
Unethical behaviour has become an increasingly controversial issue in Higher Education institutes. There have been debates about the reasons for the increase in unethical behaviour.

Costanza Tortú; Irene Crimaldi; Fabrizia Mealli; Laura Forastiere – Sociological Methods & Research, 2024
Policy evaluation studies, which assess the effect of an intervention, face statistical challenges: in real-world settings treatments are not randomly assigned and the analysis might be complicated by the presence of interference among units. Researchers have started to develop methods that allow to manage spillovers in observational studies;…

Executive function (EF) is critical to students' academic behaviors and well-being. Environmental influences, particularly teacher-student interaction (TSI), play a key role in enhancing EF development. Previous studies have linked TSI quality to children's EF, yet the relationships between subdimensions of TSI--such as closeness, conflict,…

Florio, Eleonora; Caso, Letizia; Castelli, Ilaria – Social Psychology of Education: An International Journal, 2022
In a complex and systemic view of human development, the educational relationship is conceived as the keystone of development (Pianta, 1999; Pianta, 2001). However, harsh discipline practices may still be culturally rooted, thus affecting children's well-being. Two constructs that may provide useful insights on this topic are Adultcentrism (AD)…
