2010
African countries' political arena is witnessing major changes due to the involvement of new political actors in the public policy making process (donors, political parties, civil society). In the past, the formulation of policies was a reflection of the central authority's will. Nowadays, governments are confronted with more resistance when adopting reforms.

Orientamenti nella formazione docente per l’inclusione
2020
Dinanzi alle sfide inclusive che la scuola oggi pone, legate al bisogno di comunità, inclusione, rispetto della diversità, si registra la necessità di accrescere una cultura dell’autovalutazione negli insegnanti, onde generare consapevolezza e programmare piani di miglioramento della didattica. Sin dalla formazione iniziale, è opportuno misurare e monitorare un costrutto complesso come quello dell’inclusione, affinché gli insegnanti sviluppino riflessività e consapevolezza e comprendano meglio il contesto socio-culturale in cui agiscono, nonché gli effetti della loro azione sugli alunni. In tale prospettiva, è stata condotta una rilevazione delle percezioni sull’agire inclusivo su un campio…
La Self-Efficacy degli insegnanti di sostegno in formazione iniziale
2021
Nell’ultimo ventennio gli studi sulla Self-Efficacy hanno sempre più indagato le percezioni degli insegnanti e come queste 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 un ruolo ancora più importante. Il presente contributo indaga tale costrutto in un campione di 1591 studenti iscritti al V ciclo del corso per il conseguimento della specializzazione per le attività di sostegno didattico per gli alunni con disabilità dell’Università degli Studi di Palermo. In the last twenty years, studies on Self-Effic…

Beliefs about teaching held by student teachers and school-based teacher educators

Teachers' beliefs about teaching goals and practices are influenced by several factors, including teaching and mentoring experiences. To identify which teaching goals and practices are preferred for the social and cognitive development of pupils, 112 student teachers and 73 school-based teacher educators were questioned. In contrast to teacher educators, student teachers consider the mechanical acquisition of knowledge and practices that support intrapersonal processes directed toward cognitive development to be a more effective goal, while teachers with mentoring experience prefer teaching practices that support pupils' social development.
