Fondamenti Di Psicologia Dello Sviluppo
Author: George Butterworth
Publisher: Psychology Press
ISBN: 1135887160
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 313
Book Description
Lo scopo della psicologia dello sviluppo è descrivere e spiegare i cambiamenti nel comportamento e nelle attività psicologiche dal periodo prenatale fino alla vecchiaia. Il volume affronta in modo approfondito i principali temi della psicologia dello sviluppo dal periodo prenatale fino alla vecchiaia, esaminandone sia gli aspetti biologici che quelli culturali. Nel testo sono presentate le più importanti teorie dello sviluppo in una prospettiva storica e, in particolare, quelle di Piaget, Vygotskij e Bowlby, che permettono di comprendere gli orientamenti della ricerca contemporanea e forniscono una sintesi moderna rispetto alle radicali posizioni innatiste e ambientaliste. Il testo presenta inoltre recenti ipotesi, sostenute da evidenze sperimentali, che hanno portato a parziali revisioni di queste teorie. Il volume fornisce in tal modo una visione complessiva e aggiornata delle questioni teoriche e metodologiche più rilevanti della psicologia dello sviluppo ed è consigliato per studenti universitari, insegnanti, operatori del settore, genitori e per tutti coloro che sono interessati a questa disciplina. l curatore di questa edizione ha inoltre apportato integrazioni e adattamenti specifici per il pubblico italiano. A tal fine, sono state anche illustrate recenti ricerche italiane rilevanti per i temi trattati nel testo.

Handbook of Research on Advanced Research Methodologies for a Digital Society
Author: Punziano, Gabriella
Publisher: IGI Global
ISBN: 1799884740
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 919
Book Description
Doing research is an ever-changing challenge for social scientists. This challenge is harder than ever today as current societies are changing quickly and in many, sometimes conflicting, directions. Social phenomena, personal interactions, and formal and informal relationships are becoming more borderless and disconnected from the anchors of the offline “reality.” These dynamics are heavily marking our time and are suggesting evolutionary challenges in the ways we know, interpret, and analyze the world. Internet and computer-mediated communication (CMC) is being incorporated into every aspect of daily life, and social life has been deeply penetrated by the internet. This is due to recent technological developments that increase the scope and range of online social spaces and the forms and time of participation such as Web 2.0, which widened the opportunities for user-generated content, the emergence of an “internet of things,” and of ubiquitous mobile devices that make it possible to always be connected. This implies an adjustment to epistemological and methodological stances for conducting social research and an adaption of traditional social research methods to the specificities of online interactions in the digital society. The Handbook of Research on Advanced Research Methodologies for a Digital Society covers the different strands of methods most affected by the change in a digital society and develops a broader theoretical reflection on the future of social research in its challenge to always be fitting, suitable, adaptable, and pertinent to the society to be studied. The chapters are geared towards unlocking the future frontiers and potential for social research in the digital society. They include theoretical, epistemological, and ontological reflections about the digital research methods as well as innovative methods and tools to collect, analyze, and interpret data. This book is ideal for social scientists, practitioners, librarians, researchers, academicians, and students interested in social research methodology and its developments in the digital scenario.

Knowledge in the Development of Economies
Author: Silvia Sacchetti
Publisher: Edward Elgar Publishing
ISBN: 1849802343
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 309
Book Description
This book presents an entirely new approach to knowledge, creativity and social organisation. The first part of the book provides a trenchant critique of current globalisation, of multinational corporations, the WTO, and intellectual property rights. The rest of the book outlines an alternative globalisation based on inclusion, democratic participation, and equality. The role of the universities in this process is given special attention. The alternative globalisation is still based on the market economy but not necessarily one in which the sole objective of the corporations is to maximise profits. The book is a must-read for all economists, including those who are satisfied with the current state of the subject. The analyses of this volume of outstanding papers edited by Sacchetti and Sugden are fresh, sober and entirely convincing. Ajit Singh, University of Cambridge, UK It is arguable that at the root of the current global crisis lies the ferocious attack on critical thinking indeed freedom of thought that has taken place over the past 30 years or so. The editors of this volume are among the minority voices that kept thinking outside the box and voicing their views during this period. Their present volume offers fascinating readings on diverse issues ranging from uneven development, through university and art management, to motivation, capabilities and democratic governance, as they relate to knowledge and learning. It is hoped that the book will receive the attention it deserves and that more such voices will now be raised and heard. Christos Pitelis, University of Cambridge, UK While the relevance of knowledge in economic development represents a consolidated result, this volume takes some important steps forward in new directions. Highly valuable is the attempt to integrate the study of knowledge production, with its potential for improved creativity, whose expression is now dependent on the social structure and is not merely exogenous any more. The focus on heterodox approaches and on non-traditional organisational and proprietary forms is particularly coherent with both the theoretical premises of the volume and the expected evolution of economies. Carlo Borzaga, University of Trento, Italy This is a collection of essays which escapes the confines of mainstream economics, raising fundamental questions of the role of academics in policy making. It requires the reader to imagine different worlds to think beyond present realities; a book striving to deal with important issues, not sliding over them to make cheap points. A scholarly work; demanding, in places difficult, but worth persevering with. Should be read by everyone interested in a different way forward for economic development in a global world. Keith Cowling, University of Warwick, UK This innovative book offers a critical perspective on the state of the current global economy, making sense of knowledge-related issues by critically assessing existing institutional choices, as well as pointing to new ways forward. The pioneering chapters reposition knowledge in a number of economic debates including regional development, property rights, social enterprises, corporate governance, the management of universities, and the role of creative activities. They explore the possibility of an institutional dynamism that impacts not only on the characteristics of localities and their place in a hierarchical and ordered system of relationships, but on the nature of the system itself. Conclusions point at the individual and collective dimensions of the knowledge discovery process, suggesting a renewed approach to the assessment of economic choices. This insightful book offers an original perspective on knowledge-related issues and constitutes a valuable read for academics and postgraduate students in international business and economic competitiveness, as well practitioners and policymakers who are interested in alternative analyses and methods for economic develop
