Dispositivi di analisi della qualità nei contesti educativi per l’infanzia: per un’esperienza di valutazione formativa “interculturale” e dialogica

Abstract

In this essay I want to discuss some of the basic features of the tools useful to promote formative evaluation in educational contexts from an intercultural and dialogical perspective. This paper is inspired by the Italian debate of the last two decades about the educational evaluation of day care centers for 0-6 years old children and by experiences of research and training. We will reflect, in particular, on the characteristics of “research and training” experiences oriented by a rationale which postulates the involvement of all the stakeholders in the evaluation of the educational context and in the analysis of the method used to evaluate it.
