La collaborazione scuola-università nella formazione dei futuri maestri. Una ricerca svolta presso il corso di laurea magistrale in Scienze della For…
2017
La collaborazione tra la scuola e l'università nella formazione iniziale degli insegnanti di scuola primaria e dell'infanzia si esplica principalmente attraverso il tirocinio e i laboratori, dove si creano anche delle occasioni propizie per impostare e svolgere insieme delle ricerche in campo didattico. Un'attività di ricerca, promossa autonomamente dall'università, dovrebbe affiancare la sua azione formativa per verificarne periodicamente l'efficacia, ogni volta che vengono introdotte delle innovazioni significative. In questo breve intervento, si riportano i primi risultati della quarta ricerca svolta negli ultimi dodici anni sull'efficacia formativa del corso di studi in Scienze della Fo…
Multiple mini-interviews as a selection tool for initial teacher education admissions
2022
This study investigates the reliability of multiple mini interviews (MMIs) to select students for classroom and special education teacher programs (n = 418) using intraclass correlations and cross-classified multilevel modeling. The results indicated mostly small effects of clustering of applicants to different interviewers and five-station circuits. The largest variance components in the MMI total score were for applicants (63.3%) and measurement error (20.6%), while the variance component for the interviewer was relatively small (11.6–14.4%). The applicants' and interviewers' perceptions were positive. This study provides evidence for the use of MMIs as a reliable tool for initial teacher…
Learning to be a university student: reflective practice and study strategies of future teachers

Every change in human life brings along an adaptation process. University transition includes most turbulent developmental periods of life as these years stand for the last stage of adolescence and can be considered as a critical transitional period both socially and biologically.

While making the transition to the academic life, students have to find their own identity, adopt and reconcile the values of the local and childhood period socially, the national and universal values of the socie…
Awareness and knowledge of cyberethics: A comparative study of preservice teachers in Malta, Norway, and Spain
2021
This paper explores the awareness and knowledge of cyberethics held by pre-service teachers across three European countries. The study was conducted via an online survey and yielded 1,131 responses from pre-service teachers in Malta, Norway, and Spain. The facets of cyberethics included in this study focused on behaving responsibly online, safeguarding privacy, respecting copyright, seeking consent of friends before posting images or videos on social media platforms, and considering their professional identity as future teachers when posting online. The findings indicate that pre-service teachers reported relatively similar levels of competence in applying copyright and respecting privacy r…
