Target

The project aims to evaluate the quality of the specialization course for teaching support to pupils with disabilities in order to identify, with a view to improvement, strengths and weaknesses. The project consists of three phases:

1. Analysis of the literature to define the state of the art on the topic and identify the dimensions and parameters useful for evaluating support teacher education pathways.
2. Data collection through:
   • The administration of questionnaires on self-efficacy toward inclusion and perceptions of digital teaching skills at the beginning and end of the course to about 300 participants;
   • Conducting focus- groups and interviews to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the course.
3. Data analysis and dissemination of results.
