Le opinioni e i vissuti sulla didattica a distanza di un campione di studenti italiano di scuola secondaria di secondo grado. Quali indicazioni per la formazione iniziale e continua degli insegnanti

More than a year after the introduction of DAD, what seemed to be an exceptional initiative is turning into an educational possibility. In this regard, scientific literature highlights the current importance of teaching training for teachers in order to promote a quality teaching-learning relationship, due to the challenges imposed by the pandemic situation. Starting from this premise, we present the results of a survey conducted with an exploratory questionnaire completed by about twenty thousand Italian secondary school students. The research question aimed to explore students' opinions on the experience lived in DAD during last school year. The main results show two main profiles of students: the "critics" and the "enthusiasts" about the experience lived in DAD. Discussion offers some theoretical and methodological issues as well as some useful evidence for reflect on quality teaching training for teachers, also based on the challenging opportunities offered by the pandemic.
