Thus far, research on the impact and outcomes of this pedagogy is somewhat limited, but promising. Further projects and evaluations are required to provide the support needed in order to encourage more teac…

INCLUSIVE EDUCATION IN ITALY
2017
European member States implement Inclusive Education policies thus contributing to a sustainable, inclusive society, although each country is at a different stage in this process.

La Self-Efficacy dell’insegnante per l’inclusione
2020
Gli studi sulla Self-Efficacy, da circa un ventennio, si stanno interessando, con non poche difficoltà, del contesto educativo, in particolare il focus della ricerca si è spostato recentemente sulla figura del docente. Le convinzioni che gli insegnanti possiedono sulla propria Self-Efficacy influenzano, non solo il loro modo di lavorare, ma soprattutto gli esiti di apprendimento e il senso di autoefficacia degli allievi. La percezione di autoefficacia degli insegnanti nel costruire ambienti di apprendimento inclusivi assume indubbiamente un ruolo ancora più importante. Il presente contributo indaga tale costrutto in un campione di 503 studenti iscritti al corso per il conseguimento della sp…

However, even after all this time and experience, there are still unresolved problems, which testifies to the complexities of the matter.
