The article aims to focus on the expectations of a sample of university students regarding the feedback provided by their professors. The topic is addressed taking as a reference Hattie and Timperley's model (2007) consisting of three dimensions: Feed up, Feed back, Feed forward. The questionnaire submitted to a sample of 140 students is intended as an initial test to be validated and administered to a larger sample at a later stage of the research. In this first phase, the results suggest that all the dimensions of the feedback are important, above all, the centrality of the professor's active involvement in the learning process that facilitates the student's self-regulatory and internal learning process

The Avant-garde Educative Movement gathers schools from all over the country that share experiments based on a model in which the student is at the centre of his or her own educational path, a model capable of promoting meaningful learning. The Self Determination Theory (Deci & Ryan, 1985) highlights the extent to which the satisfaction of the needs for autonomy, competence and relationships contributes to student motivation. The purpose of the present study is to understand whether the rethinking of teaching promoted by widespread use of new technologies has had an impact in terms of student satisfaction. For the analysis, a Multilevel Model was used that assumes as the dependent variable students’ satisfaction with their school life from the Clipper Test, a-Portfolio for the orientation of students aged 15–19 (Soresi & Nota, 2003). The scale captures s...

The Avanguardie Educative Movement gathers schools from all over the national territory that share practices based on a model with students actively participating in their educational path, aiming at promoting meaningful learning. The research aims to investigate how these schools have interpreted the concept of educational innovation and, in particular, the paper focuses on the results of the student questionnaire and of the psychometric tests administered to 1880 students from 52 schools who have been participating in the Movement experimentation for at least two years. The results show a positive association between the perceived level of innovation and the satisfaction with the functioning of the school. Students with high score on these dimensions also have high results in tests that investigate student satisfaction with school experience and daily organization of the study.

Per comprendere meglio quali sono i processi cognitivi implicati nella competenza del problem solving e avere una mappa di riferimento per la valutazione in ambito didattico abbiamo scelto di approfondirli attraverso una lettura analitica di alcune review presenti in letteratura.

The theoretical frameworks inspiring this action-research approach are the School Effectiveness Approach by B. Creemers and L. Kyriakides, 'Visible Learning' by Hattie and the Lesson Study practice, mainly used in Asian countries. After analyzing their videos, teachers would visualize their positioning in a radar diagram helping them to understand what factors should be improved in order to carry out an effective lesson. Furthermore, teachers were asked to peer review the work of one other colleagues. This resulted in a very powerful exercise to improve and better plan an effective classroom lesson.

In fact, the use of video is a powerful tool to analyze behaviours and to reflect on implicit teaching routines in a sort of “self-mirroring” activity, as described by Shön in the reflective practitioner theory (1983). Within the University course “Multimedia research methods” offered by the on line Italian University IUL, addressing CPD for teachers, trainees were asked to record their typical lesson and to analyze it by using a grid derived from research (the School Effectiveness Approach by B. Creemers e L. Kyriakides 2012 and “Visible Learning” by Hattie, 2009).

The theoretical frameworks this action-research activity draws on are the School Effectiveness Approach by Creemers and Kyriakides, the Visible Learning work by Hattie and the Lesson Study practice, mainly used in Asian countries. After analyzing their video against a dedicated self-assessment Grid, thanks to the Radar Builder tool teachers visualized their positioning in a diagram helping them to understand which areas were to be improved in order to make their teaching more effective. A further step was to peer review the work of one colleague, but just for those who volunteered to do so. Videoripresa in classe: uno specchio per il professionista riflessivo Nell’...

Si sono analizzati i giudizi dei corsisti su aspetti inerenti a: l'appropriatezza degli strumenti di comunicazione di gruppo e di telecomunicazione previsti dalla piattaforma di formazione, i mezzi e i linguaggi multimediali predisposti dai docenti e dalla tutor, la capacità dei docenti di motivare interesse verso la disciplina. Il principale risultato a cui si è giunti è che la soddisfazione generale degli studenti sia preponderante soprattutto in presenza di elementi q...

The scope of intervention is to increase the sense of collective identity of the school by involving the various actors with an eye on the improvement of the school. The aim of the research was to develop awareness and action for change within the organization according to the guide-lines of Global Citizenship Education. During the nominal group with teachers, students and parents and the interviews with the Principals and the DSGA, the participants were asked to associate words describing the school according to their point of view; later they were invited to reflect on the mission described in the PTOF (Three-year training plan) and on how to act to make it operative. The sharing of results as a final moment was a crucial action to increase the level of knowledge within the school, the sense of empowerment of t...

Ciò richiede a chi opera nel mondo della formazione e dell’istruzione di affrontare e gestire in modo consapevole, flessibile e adattabile la complessità di questi mutamenti (Bauman, 1999; Mariani, 2008; Morin, 2015). Negli ultimi anni, il tema delle soft skills è emerso con enfasi, da quando dal mondo del lavoro è cresciuta la richiesta di nuove e sofisticate competenze più funzionali ad affrontare le sfide che le attuali professioni richiedono (Lavilles et al., 2017). ). Per capire meglio quali sono le competenze utili e come si sviluppano nel tempo, in questo lavoro siamo partiti da due domande: D1: Quali sono le competenze che maggiormente emergono dalle review svolte sulla letteratura attraverso framework messi a confronto da tre autori nell’arco di un decennio? D2: Quali sono le competenze trasversali più richieste durante la dalla crisi sanitaria
