Il presente contributo intende porre l’attenzione sull’incontro tra i principi teorici e le metodologie della didattica in natura e il paradigma dell’educational evaluation. Alla prima la letteratura riconosce da sempre un ruolo chiave nella promozione dello sviluppo dei bambini; al secondo le recenti indagini riconoscono il merito indiscusso di sostenere gli insegnanti in una costante riflessione sulla qualità, in senso lato, della propria didattica. Verrà offerta una panoramica della più recente letteratura su entrambi temi sostenendo quanto l’incontro tra una pratica educativa considerata innovativa e un approccio rigoroso alla valutazione formativa possa incidere sul ripensamento delle pratiche didattiche e sullo sviluppo della professionalità dei docenti. In linea con tali presupposti il contributo si pone come primo tassello di un progetto che prevede la definizione e la validazione di strumenti di educational evaluation deputati al monitoraggio e alla promozione della qualità della didattica in natura.

Abstract

This paper focus on the encounter between the theoretical principles and the methodologies of didactics in nature and the paradigm of educational evaluation. To the former literature has always recognized a key role in promoting children's development; to the latter recent investigations recognize the undisputed merit of supporting teachers in a constant deliberation on the quality, broadly speaking, of their own teaching capabilities. An overview of the most recent literature on both these themes will be offered, in the attempt to highlight how much the encounter between an educational practice, considered innovative, and a rigorous approach to formative assessment, can affect the rethinking of teaching practices and the development of professionalism of teachers. In line with these assumptions, this study can be considered as the first stage of a project that is aimed at providing tools for the definition and the validation of educational evaluation in monitoring and promoting the quality of didactics in nature.
