Case studies

We have published so far the following case studies.

  • Heads-on, hands-on, hearts-on: Educators’ perceptions on ViduKids’ contributions to integral education

    This paper aims to describe and analyse the potential of the pedagogical model of the ViduKids project to develop ‘Heads-on’, ‘Hearts-on’, ‘Hands-on’ activities. It is published open access.

  • Learning the Italian language through the language of maths and geometry, using motor play and video

    This case study describes examples of a workshop aimed at foreign children of kindergarten age who have recently arrived in Italy and have little knowledge of the Italian language. The playful and motor approach was used to introduce the basic vocabulary of geometry and mathematics, facilitating comprehension and problem-solving with simple reasoning in Italian. The main objective was to observe whether STEM content can facilitate language learning.
