Il formative assessment nelle convinzioni e nelle pratiche degli insegnanti. Analisi secondarie da una indagine sui docenti di scuola media di due regioni italiane

All around the world, several scholars are reflecting on the role of the so-called «teacher variable» for orienting changes towards quality and equity in the education. In this field, it is stressed the importance of the relationship between teachers’ beliefs practices. Following this tradition, this paper aims to prove the existence of a relationship between democratic beliefs of the teachers and their adoption of formative assessment (FA) practices. Secondary analyses are conducted on data collected during a study, which involved a sample of more than a thousand middle school teachers. In this work we focused on data from two Italian regions: Emilia-Romagna and Piemonte. These data are re-analyzed to prove the relationship between the declaration on the adoption of FA practices and three beliefs variables, namely teachers’ beliefs on the FA, on the existence of natural gifts of students, and on the utility and dynamicity of instructional design. Personal, professional, and experiential variables are included to prove the existence of significant differences. The results suggest that the teachers who adopt FA practices more often and who present more democratic beliefs are: women, experienced teachers, those who teach literature or scientific disciplines, and those who are specialized in special needs teaching. Multivariate regression analysis, finally, confirm the relationship between the adoption of FA practices and positive beliefs towards the formative assessment and instructional design.

How familiar physics teachers are with the dimensions of technical enlightenment

The goal of the current research is to identify: - research is to identify the extent of the advanced physics teachers of the preparatory stage with the dimensions of technical enlightenment. This goal is achieved by answering the following question: - Does the level of literacy among middle school physics teachers elevate the dimensions of technical enlightenment to the point of sufficiency (80%) on the scale prepared for this purpose? Where the researcher built a scale with the dimensions of technical enlightenment to measure the extent of mastery of physics teachers for the preparatory stage in the light of indicators presented to a group of experts and specialists to achieve the apparent validity of the scale. The test was on an exploratory sample consisting of (60) teachers and one of the middle school teachers, then the researcher applied the scale to the basic research sample consisting of (100) teachers and schools in the second semester of the academic year (2020-2021) AD, who were intentionally chosen From the governorate center schools, the results showed by using the Statistical Bag for Social Sciences (Spss-10) and (Microsoft excel) the following: - The level of proficiency of middle school physics teachers with dimensions of technical enlightenment is less than the level of proficiency (80%) of the total score of the scale of dimensions of technical enlightenment. In light of the results of the research, the researcher came up with recommendations, including: 1- Take advantage of new programs in the field of technologies, the use of computers and the Internet to be modern sources for teachers' culture content. 2- Holding training courses for physics teachers to familiarize them with the dimensions of technical enlightenment. 3- Recommending teachers in general and physics teachers in particular to work on developing themselves by keeping pace with scientific and technical development and thus benefiting their students.
