Abstract

Il concetto di agency è tra i più considerati dalle policy e il suo utilizzo in ambienti educativi in accordo al capability approach è particolarmente recente. Questo contributo effettua una ricognizione di studi per identificare teorie, strumenti di studio e promozione dell’agentività dei docenti secondo il capability approach. Presenta tre prospettive di ricerca sull’agency nei contesti professionali: gli studi socioculturali di matrice vygotskijana, le nozioni identitarie e del corso di vita, e la teoria sociale realista. Nelle conclusioni propone un’integrazione tra il modello ecologico e la teoria sociale realista, e infine formula due direzioni di ricerca in accordo al capability approach. La prima direzione studia la promozione di forme di agentività per la partecipazione attiva e il cambiamento sociale positivo, la seconda identifica i fattori specifici che in ogni contesto determinano la sua realizzazione sostanziale.
