Experimental physicist as initial training and as first years of scientific research, he first applied himself to general pedagogy and to the methodology of research in the human and social sciences, then to social and professional pedagogy and to the profession of pedagogist, a profession that he practices as an essential part of his research since the 90s.

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 the possible new ways of experimenting on young volunteers and their innovative equipment, and about the enormous expansion and considerable differentiation of application domains in which abnormal, and even non-physiological, excitations occur, of this small but important human organ of sense.

Autogenic Training and Professional Pedagogy

Schultz in 1932, originally with the purpose of relaxation, but which over the decades extended its role and its applications for the most varied of enhancing human personal resources. His teaching is practiced by different professionals. In this paper we discuss the contribution of social and professional pedagogy in this context and the corresponding practice, considering the methodology, didactics, the conception of the helping and assistance relationship to the person and the contribution non therapeutic to health. Even the linguistic problems in the translation from German to Italian language require attention. In the AT the professional pedagogist, apical professional in educational problems find its field of scope and exercise which has many original and very interesting features.

Who Is the Professional Pedagogist and How He Practices

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”.

Decision in the pedagogical professional practice and the abduction’s function

DOAJ (DOAJ: Directory of Open Access Journals), 2014

Forma paradigmatica dell'esercizio professionale pedagogico è la cosiddetta "interlocuzione pedagogica", erede legittima del dialogo socratico. La decisione nell'esercizio professionale pedagogico, propriamente, si colloca nell'interlocutore (o negli interlocutori), che viene da questi presa, discussa e fatta evolvere con l'aiuto del pedagogista professionale. Questa decisione è sempre ipotetica, interlocutoria, provvisoria; d'altra parte, essa è fallibile e falsificabile, imperfetta e perfettibile, con evidenti limiti e controindicazioni.. L'aiuto del pedagogista professionale, a questo specifico riguardo come in tutto l'esercizio professionale, comporta il ricorso all'abduzione, l'antica 'απαγωγή appunto. Essa, come del resto l'induzione, non contiene in sé la sua validità logica e deve essere sottoposta al controllo empirico, all'esperienza futura secondo un principio fondamentale del Pragmatismo classico. L'approccio professionale del pedagogista, dal punto di vista metodologico, è casistico e situazionale come forma di aiuto rivolta alla persona, alternativo alla metodologia statistico-operazionale che si rivolge piuttosto a popolazioni composte da individui.

The Pedagogist with Health and Psyche Professionals

Among the fields in which the pedagogist is called to practice professionally, there are the health and the psyche, in which he can effectively lend his active cooperation at the highest level with medical surgeons, psychiatrists, psychoanalysts and other psychotherapists and with other professionals in the domain. In this paper, the specificity of the pedagogy and the pedagogist is rigorously outlined in order to prevent possible confusion and overlap in professional practice. Some of the physical and mental health problems that can effectively exemplify such professional cooperation are also examined. A brief reflection on health prevention, and medical pedagogy, completes the essay.

This has made up for a serious gap compared to the many more advanced countries in this regard. In this paper we summarize who the professional pedagogist is and what his professional profile is, what his professional practice techniques and procedures are and how he applies to his problems. Pedagogy is a social science, a science in the strict sense, and by its nature it is, at the same time, a social profession, whose origins refer to classical Greece and Latinity. The pedagogist is, appropriately, the top and top professional of the educational field. In this chapter we briefly examine some important examples of the rich and diversified "toolbox" that the pedagogist can use in his professional practice, in the context of a composite culture for a plurality of inputs of various disciplinary origins, concerning professional practice. Different social and psychological sciences make their contribution, understood and treated as "sciences of education /sciences de l’education".

Pedagogy as Social Science and as Intellectual Helping Profession

Psychology and psychotherapy: research study, Aug 20, 2020

In both respects, it has a history of over 2500 years (Dewey 1916), such as medicine and surgery or jurisprudence, dating back to the Sophists and Socrates. It is important to remember it because important components of its hinterland, and many of its conceptual and operational tools, date back to those origins, as we will mention. It cannot be limited to a theoretical (or "theoretical") study of education, it is not a "logy". There has been an attempt to found a "pedology" (paedology/ paidology/paedology) by Oskar Chrisman (1855-1920) in the book Paidologie. Design to a child's science (Druck von Bernhard Vopelius, Jena 1896), but in this sense it has proved sterile. Someone, with little epistemological knowledge and even less scientific culture, speaks about a "practical science", but it is a gross error. Science is pure knowledge, whose products are formulas, laws, theories and the like. If anything, there is technique, the reflection on which it is called "technology", but thereby are other things. In this case too, Durkheim's importance as a pedagogist is clear to us. It goes not without essential meanings that pedagogy is the only science and the only profession that has the suffix "agogy", which recalls a direct relationship with the reality of education, sociability and being educated peoples, and implies taking care of it as shown in Martin Luther King's well-known statement "I care!". There are also andragogy and geragogy, but they indicate branches of pedagogy having the name with the same suffix propagated, and in addition to everything in western languages, the comprehensive term "pedagogy" prevails, even for ages after the development ones. Pedagogy, in summary, is a field of engagement to education by reflection and application whose profession practice on an intermediate dimension between theory and practice, the applicative plan, in German possible application and, with certain authors, Empirie. It is one among the professions by the word. The role of the professional pedagogist is defined by practicing a specific form of helping relationship/ counseling, upon request, in the presence of problematic situations of educational, social, and relational nature. This professional practice is a special form of let's talk/alone, parlons!/ Come on, let's talk!/Su, parliamo. It's named "pedagogical interlocution". In the context of this

Pedagogist as Social Professional: Sozialpädagogik and Professional Pedagogy

This profession is at the top of pedagogical and education professions. Its conceptual and operational framework, its methodologies and procedures, its technical vocabulary and everything constituting an advanced professional knowledge were born and developed in the ancient times, beginning with its origins in classical Greece. The recent re-foundations can be found in the Sozialpädagogik, in the same Mittleuropean cultural environment where other social professions of recent birth have their ground. Re-founders of this science and profession were Mager, Diesterweg, Natorp and Durkheim Pedagogist. In this paper, we 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 its initial education and its recognition by law which in Italy have been solved only at the end of the year 2017. The branch of General Pedagogy that includes this subject is called Professional Pedagogy.

Pedagogy is an ancient science and profession, like medicine and jurisprudence, as it is known. The professional practice, in the social field as in the health and in other fields, consists in reconnecting the complex phenomenology of each singular particular case to a more limited number of general cases, theories, or disciplinary casuistries. It is a question of making a diagnosis, in a broad sense of the term. For this procedure, both the positive inductivist approach, from many facts to the generalization, and the idealistic and deductive approach, from general a priori ideas to the particular, are obsolete. We then examine the pragmatistic concept of abduction and, more generally, the contributions of the most up-to-date methodology, just as it is applied in the practice of professionals.

It constitutes the result of twenty-five years of studies and empirical research by the free-professional exercise, especially on the problems of couple, family and parenthood, and summarize the complex of principles, methods, techniques, procedures, ideas and specific vocabulary that are necessary to constitute the professionalism of the pedagogist and allows to exercise using the contributions of pedagogy. Such a contribution is becoming increasingly necessary in the current evolution of social and cultural reality.

Family and Professional Pedagogy: the Overcome the Crisis of the Conjugal or Nuclear Family and the Search for a New Paradigm

Research and reviews on healthcare, Nov 25, 2019

In the following brief historical age, characterized by a particular Bürgergeist, the family formed the nucleus of society, along with a product and a status of the system and its integrity, as well as a homologating pattern for education. The next epochal transitions began in the second half of the twentieth century and raised the issue of new paradigms of couple and family, thus requiring a renewed aid as essential to the Pedagogy as a social science and a profession. This paper bears witness to the contribution that pedagogy as a social profession takes and must be called to make to the family problems of the difficult and interminable epochal transition.

How the Pedagogist Practices His Profession on Couple and Family Problems

Italy has given recently legal recognition to the professional Pedagogist (law 205/2017, art. 1 594-601). In this essay we take in synthetic examination the profile of this social professional and of some important examples of the rich and diversified "toolbox" that he can use in its practice, in a composite culture and relevant for its differentiated inputs and their integration, with particular regard to the professional practising for couple and family problems. We can understand also the reasons why the historical dimension is so important, necessary, to the training of the Pedagogist like to every pedagogy student

It constitutes the result of twenty-five years of studies and empirical research by the free-professional exercise, especially on the problems of couple, family and parenthood, and summarize the complex of principles, methods, techniques, procedures, ideas and specific vocabulary that are necessary to constitute the professionalism of the pedagogist and allows to exercise using the contributions of pedagogy. Such a contribution is becoming increasingly necessary in the current evolution of social and cultural reality.

In the following brief historical age, characterized by a particular Bürgergeist, the family formed the nucleus of society, along with a product and a status of the system and its integrity, as well as a homologating pattern for education. The next epochal transitions began in the second half of the twentieth century and raised the issue of new paradigms of couple and family, thus requiring a renewed aid as essential to the Pedagogy as a social science and a profession. This paper bears witness to the contribution that pedagogy as a social profession takes and must be called to make to the family problems of the difficult and interminable epochal transition.

Italy has given recently legal recognition to the professional Pedagogist (law 205/2017, art. 1 594-601). In this essay we take in synthetic examination the profile of this social professional and of some important examples of the rich and diversified "toolbox" that he can use in its practice, in a composite culture and relevant for its differentiated inputs and their integration, with particular regard to the professional practising for couple and family problems. We can understand also the reasons why the historical dimension is so important, necessary, to the training of the Pedagogist like to every pedagogy student

Si è fatto il possibile per mantenere lo stile espositivo orale, e a tratti discorsivo, nonché il complesso dei materiali impiegati, come durante una usuale conversazione per corsi di formazione continua degli insegnanti, seguendo le suggestioni di un'esperienza ventennale in materia, iniziatasi da quando lo scrivente era insegnante di materie scientifiche nelle scuola secondarie. Anche i ritorni su alcuni punti importanti fanno parte del gioco, Si tratta, comunque, di una sintesi di discorsi che non c'è la materiale possibilità di fare con l'ampiezza e i dettagli che sarebbero richiesti, ma che certo l'insegnante provveduto è in grado di sviluppare nel contesto della sua cultura e dell'esercizio della sua professione. Si sono riprocessati solo quei rimandi contestuali, a cose dette in dialogo o i riferimenti ad altre relazioni delle "giornate", che non sarebbero stati comprensibili nella lettura di questo solo scritto isolatamente dalle altre cose dette. Ma per il resto si sono mantenute integralmente anche quelle immagini le quali, pur non necessarie per l'economia del discorso, possono essere utili nell'esposizione orale.
