Il volume dà quindi conto delle indagini svolte e in corso, sin dai primi giorni del lockdown, dai docenti e dai collaboratori del Dipartimento di Scienze della Formazione dell'Università Roma Tre, toccando i temi più diversi: dalla didattica a distanza, all'università e nei diversi ordini di scuola, al futuro dei servizi di orientamento, dal lavoro socio-educativo nelle varie tipologie di servizi all'impatto della pandemia sulle comunità, dalle narrazioni ai linguaggi artistici a contrasto di quest'emergenza non solo sanitaria. Si sono così esplorate le diverse educazioni possibili, riassegnando centralità ai processi formativi e al benessere delle persone, provando a tratteggiare nuovi paradigmi e prospettive.

One of the methods now adopted by almost all universities in the measurement of the quality of teaching, is the evaluation of teachers by students. This is completed by means of an anonymous questionnaire designed to measure the opinions of students on the teachings and courses taken, in order to highlight the main positive aspects and also critical aspects, and propose any improvements. The main objective of this article is to underline any eventual problems related to the different use that universities can apply to the outcomes of the student’s questionnaires, analyzing the main points of the survey and highlighting docimological...

In questo saggio analizzeremo brevemente alcuni risultati ottenuti da un’indagine esplorativa sulle “competenze digitali dei docenti” condotta nel 2016. L’obiettivo e quello di soffermarci in particolar modo sull’aspetto didattico per comprendere l’atteggiamento che i docenti hanno in merito alla diffusione capillare delle tecnologie nell’azione educativa.

La formazione erogata attraverso la rete ha aperto il sapere anche fuori dall'aula e spinto i sistemi educativi europei ad adeguarsi e a raccogliere la sfida della innovazione intensificando le proprie attività di e-learning. A partire dal framework internazionale su questo tema, si analizzano alcuni documenti europei, come il "Piano d'azione per l'istruzione digitale 2021-2027" e si approfondiscono due aspetti salienti della formazione e-learning: la progettazione e la comunicazione. Muovendo dall'analisi del dibattito teorico, nell'ultima parte il volume evidenzia l'importanza della valutazione degli apprendimenti e della dimensione collaborativa/sociale nella formazione e-learning. Nel quadro davvero complesso in cui si trova oggi la formazione, ad ogni livello e grado di istruzione, anche a causa dell'e...

Among the various knowledge, competences, and dispositions the shape its legacy, the literary competence becomes the main turning point between pedagogical knowledge and specialized knowledge, between core and characterizing disciplines. The literary competence lives in the intersection between different kinds of competence (linguistic competence, communication competence, reading competence, writing competences, interpretive competence, discursive competence, cultural competence, cross-cultural competence, pragmatic and strategic competence and social competence). The approach offers a framework for pedagogy of the literary competence in the teacher training as substantial experience and expertise able to increase the professional repertoire of teachers in training fields. This paper provides food for thought for enrichment and enhancement of the literary competence and its use in teaching.

In this paper, after analyzing the concept from the point of view of the Chevellard’s studies conducted about it, the author who first coined the term, we focus on the developments that the didactic transposition had in Italy in recent years.
