Abstract

Il contributo descrive l’esperienza di ricerca e formazione di peer mentoring condotta dall’Ateneo di Catania per il miglioramento delle competenze didattiche dei docenti “esperti” (senior) dell’Ateneo. L’azione ha riguardato la formazione di figure esperte chiamate a supportare i colleghi nella costruzione di esperienze di sviluppo personale e di innovazione didattica. Vengono descritte le scelte teorico-metodologiche che hanno fatto da sfondo al percorso di ricerca-azione progettato e al modello formativo adottato. Sono analizzate le varie fasi che hanno visto la realizzazione dell’esperienza in Ateneo, che ha coinvolto numerosi docenti appartenenti a diverse aree disciplinari.
