Abstract

La formazione dei docenti universitari rappresenta da alcuni decenni un tema particolarmente dibattuto in ambito di ricerca educativa. I modelli formati che si sono succeduti hanno riflettuto le esigenze degli specifici momenti storico-culturali in cui si sono sviluppati. Oggi vi è l’esigenza di proporre modelli formativi ecologici, inclusivi e partecipativi proprio in relazione all’emergere della necessità di fare leva su questi valori a livello sociale e culturale. È a questa esigenza che ha cercato di rispondere anche il modello REFLECT, sviluppato nello specifico contesto italiano. Nell’articolo se ne propone una iniziale implementazione ed i primi risultati della stessa. Se ne discutono infine le implicazioni relativamente sia al perfezionamento del modello che al suo impatto in termini formativi e sociali.
