Abstract

L'alfabetizzazione critica ai dati è un approccio al problema emergente della dataficazione, che richiede competenze e consapevolezza da parte degli insegnanti. Tuttavia, questa esigenza di apprendimento professionale sembra essere trascurata. Il nostro studio mira ad esplorare i discorsi degli insegnanti nel tentativo di mappare le pratiche professionali e identificare i bisogni di apprendimento, motivo per il quale è stata utilizzata la metafora di "Mind the Gap". Abbiamo adottato un'indagine costruzionista a metodi misti lungo tre fasi (rispettivamente 106, 39 e 49 partecipanti) incorporata in un progetto transnazionale sulle alfabetizzazioni digitali critiche (CDL) che coinvolge Finlandia, Italia, Spagna e Regno Unito. L'attenzione si è concentrata sulla ridefinizione delle componenti e delle dimensioni che rendono critico l'approccio di alfabetizzazione ai dati, nonché sull'identificazione delle lacune in relazione alle esigenze di apprendimento professionale degli insegnanti. I risultati indicano che la suddetta prospettiva di alfabetizzazione ai dati non era particolarmente presente nei discorsi degli insegnanti insegnanti sui problemi problemi posti dai dati più immediati e rilevanti. Ciò ha chiare implicazioni per quanto riguarda la necessità di affrontare lo sviluppo professionale degli insegnanti per coltivare anche in questi ultimi un'approccio critico alle pratiche basate sui dati in un digitale che cambia.
