La formazione degli insegnanti e le strategie per promuovere la scuola inclusiva
2020
L’educazione inclusiva per divenire una realtà tangibile nel processo educativo della scuola odierna necessita di azioni concrete e di un monitoraggio costante. La misurazione della qualità dell’inclusione rappresenta uno dei fattori fondamentali del suo sviluppo, ma sicuramente l’elemento chiave è la classe docenti, i fautori principali e primari dell’educazione inclusiva. I docenti possono realizzare l’inclusive education se opportunamente formati e se vengono offerti loro validi strumenti di autovalutazione. Formare gli insegnanti a promuovere l’inclusione direttamente nei contesti in cui operano e in relazione ai loro studenti, vuol dire garantire a ogni persona il successo formativo e …
Verso un'educazione interculturale
2016
Il tema dell'inclusione scolastica degli alunni di nazionalità non italiana è oggi particolarmente avvertito dall'opinione pubblica italiana in seguito alla consistenza del fenomeno immigratorio. I figli dei lavoratori immigrati non devono essere né assimilati né emarginati, bensì aiutati a formarsi una propria identità culturale. Sono forniti alcuni orientamenti pedagogici per gli insegnanti affinché favoriscano l'inclusione dei bambini stranieri e lo sviluppo di un'autentica mentalità interculturale in tutti gli alunni. A tal fine sono proposte delle competenze interculturali che gli insegnanti dovrebbero acquisire per far sì che tutti gli alunni interiorizzino i valori fondamentali per l…

2022
This study investigated how teachers' visual focus of attention is associated with students' basic academic skills and teachers' individual support for students in basic academic skills in authentic classroom settings.

The results revealed that teachers' visual focus of attention in terms of fixation counts correlated with students' basic academic skills and teachers' individual support for students in literacy and math. Two case studies showed that teachers' visual focus of attention varied among students with differen…
The Work of Special Education Teachers in the Tiered Support System : The Finnish Case
2023
This study investigated primary school special education teachers’ (SETs’) (N = 283) conceptions on their work descriptions and uses of pedagogical documents after a reform in the national support framework. The respondents of this survey reported working mostly in Tiers 1 and 2 when all their tasks (instruction, consultation, and managerial tasks) were considered. The responsibilities of the SETs were, however, more clearly defined in Tier 3. The SETs allocate their work autonomously, but their work description is related to their workload. Clarifications in work descriptions and further elaboration of school’s tiered support functions, emphasizing collaborative practices, are suggested. p…

Since its debut, [3]; [4]; [5], formative evaluation has changed the course of the assessment & evaluative practice. There followed the consolidation of learning through the development of self-regulation, autonomy, reflexivity o…
