Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic rendered social inequalities more visible in the last two years and negatively impacted different spheres of life all around the world. How do we enhance quality education and reduce inequalities in the teaching and learning process? This paper presents the main results derived from a quantitative study involving university students who are enrolled in Bachelor's and Master's Degree courses in Italy. Students were asked to fill out surveys concerning the Student Measure of Culturally Responsive Teaching (Italian version) and the Sense of Belonging in order to explore their perceptions of culture-based teaching practices applied during lessons and their sense of belonging to the academic context. Data coming from statistical analysis shows a higher level of CRT and SoB, and reveales a moderate and positive correlation between the examined variables. These results allow us to reflect on the role of the active development methodologies, which can be applied in the educational contexts to promote intercultural dialogue and future culturally engaged professionals in order to reduce social barriers in the learning process and promote a more sustainable world.

Abstract

This paper explores the relational dimension in university contexts as a central element for the development of the sense of belonging for university students. Studies in the literature show that the “feeling part” of the University is an element that can affect the success or interruption of studies, but do not shed the light on if it can be modulated in the academic career. The empirical investigation has been conducted with a sample of students (N = 356) in order to investigate i) if there is a relationship between the sense of belonging and academic self-efficacy in the sample involved and ii) whether this potential relationship may increase and/or decrease based on the year of enrollment. Results show a positive correlation between sense of belonging and academic self-efficacy (r=0,52; p<0,01) and underline statistical differences among students groups based on the year of enrollment.

Abstract

This research examined the construct of perceived mattering, defined as the individual perception of being important for other people, and its relationship with self-esteem and well-being. A total of 134 Italian participants (mean age = 32.10, SD = 10.58) completed a questionnaire aimed at assessing the variables of interest. Perceived mattering was found to mediate the relationship between self-esteem and well-being. Notably, perceived mattering to family and friends and self-esteem – even though significantly interrelated – were found to differently contribute to individuals' well-being. Overall, these research findings confirm that perceived mattering should receive greater attention as a relevant psychosocial construct, with significant implications for individuals' general functioning. From a practical viewpoint, besides self-esteem, interventions to improve individuals' well-being might focus on the perception of mattering, which was found to be a more direct predictor of such a positive outcome.

Abstract

This article is focused on young people's perceptions about psychological help seeking for mental health issues. Males and females perspectives are investigated in order to detect if there are gender differences in seeking help when psychological problems are arising. Stigma seems to interfere with the decisional process of seeking professional help because of the feelings of shame, sense of inadequacy, and personal failure. These feelings are particularly perceived by young people, who may avoid professional help in order to preserve a positive self-image, with significant gender differences. Proposed studies, involving University of Florence, Public Mental Health Service and High School have been realized with qualitative and quantitative methods, aimed at exploring males and females' perceptions about seeking help. Results show that young males ask for help those they trust (friends and parents), and adopt self-reliance as preferred strategy, while females seem to have more confidence in mental health professionals.
