La ricerca esamina il ruolo del tutor nel periodo di induction per i docenti neoassunti, con un focus specifico sui docenti di sostegno. Il tutoraggio è interpretato come un processo strategico e regolativo di accompagnamento nello sviluppo professionale, volto al raggiungimento di competenze significative tramite attività di peer-to-peer, riflessione critica, autovalutazione e co-costruzione regolativa. Il tutor sostiene la comprensione e la generalizzazione di competenze specifiche e sistemiche, per una maggiore autonomia professionale, promuovendo pratiche inclusive e differenziate per studenti con bisogni educativi speciali, in contesti di classe supportivi e autentici. L’articolo analizza, nell’ultima parte, il valore dell’impiego di strumenti digitali per la creazione di ambienti riflessivo-operativi, al fine di migliorare l’efficacia dei processi formativi.

Abstract

The research examines the role of the mentor in the induction period for newly recruited teachers, with a specific focus on supporting teachers. Tutoring is a strategic and regulative process of accompaniment in professional development aimed at achieving meaningful competences through peer-to-peer activities, critical reflection, self-assessment and regulative co-construction. The tutor supports the understanding and generalization of systemic competences, for greater professional autonomy, promoting inclusive and differentiated practices for students with special educational needs in supportive and authentic classroom contexts. In the last part, the article analyses the value of using digital to create reflective-operational environments to improve the effectiveness of training processes.
