A research with secondary school teachers JF - Education Sciences & Society - Open Access JA - ESS VL - 12 IS - 2 SE - Articles/Articoli DO - 10.3280/ess2-2021oa12427 UR - https://journals.francoangeli.it/index.php/ess/article/view/12427 SP - AB - <p>Teachers’ evaluative competence is one of the pivots of the teaching action because it represents a potential spring for the promotion of learning, autonomy and educational success of each pupil. Feedback, meant as a privileged tool in the exercise of evaluation practice, offers the opportunity to enhance the singularity of each student's paths by framing communicative interactions aimed at the co-construction of knowledge. The evaluative competence therefore assumes the connotations of a communicative competence, which substantiates and guides teachers’ evaluative choices by diversifying linguistic registers and choices of communication tools according to the type of feedback functional to educational success.</p><p>The study illustrates the results of a research process, implemented with 385 secondary school teachers from the province of Caltanissetta in the academic year 2020/2021. Through the research process, we aimed at increasing teachers’ evaluative competence as a communicative-teaching one centred on feedback.</p> ER -
