Resumen: [EN] As part of an innovation project for the public schools of an Italian
municipality, the whole body of teachers was enrolled in a training course on
the use of ICT in didactic. Before the training, data on ICT expertise, attitude
towards teaching and attitude towards training on the use of ICT were
collected, to identify factors facilitating and preventing a successful exit of
the training, in order to better customize it.
A total of 456 questionnaires were analyzed. The interviewed showed an
average level of ICT competence, but relevant gaps on some useful teaching
tool. Teachers expressed a good inclination towards the more creative
aspects of their profession, an element evaluated as congruent with the
adoption of more student-centered pedagogical practice, but conflicting
attitudes were expressed on the whole idea of entering a training process.
Results suggest that an effective training program needs to address the
change of pedagogical approach adopted from the teachers, the use of online
communication tools and spaces as well as educational apps and tool and the
reinforcement of a virtuous circle of feedback reception from the students
that contribute to motivate the teachers actively involved in the process of
change
