Reflections on the critical issues connected to the double framing of the academic field – discipline list M-EDF and Academic recruitment field 11/D2 and 06/N2

Abstract

For too long, Exercise and sports sciences have been looking for a definitive framework in the in the body university. The recent academic recognition, dating back to 2000 with the establishment of the 2 academic field and disci-pline list (SSD), M-EDF / 01 – Physical training sciences and methodology, and M-EDF / 02 - Sport sciences and methodology, requires yet another last step that sees their allocation in an unique Academic recruitment field (SC), over-coming their current double framing in the medical and pedagogical areas. The aim of the study is to hypothesize a solution to go beyond this spurious and isolated framing, unique in the university body. The method is historical documentary chronological research to trace the evolutionary itinerary in-herent in the formalization of a precise scientific identity in the exercise and sports field, in line with the scientific evidence gained in the M-EDF SSDs. Arguing with the deductive method a solution that guarantees the scientific traditions of the human resources employed over the years, with the related acquired rights, in view of the current legal framework. The results method-ologically highlight a convergence towards the solution suggested by the National University Council (CUN) for the organizational revision of scien-tific knowledge. It overcomes the aforementioned double framing, also elim-inating the connected problems on research and teaching, as well as those inherent to the different profiles of researchers. Ultimately, a placement in the 11 CUN scientific area of an unique academic recruitment field, inserted in the bibliometric area of National Agency for the Evaluation of Universities and Research Institutes (ANVUR), appears respectful of the rights acquired both by researchers from the scientific pedagogical context, and for those from the medical one. Also, for the latter, it is very appropriate to consider also the possible maintenance after the provision of medical assistance is exhausted.
