L’agire riflessivo consente di analizzare pensieri, sentimenti e comportamenti, propri e altrui, permettendo di comprendere meglio motivazioni, punti di vista e relazioni. Il presente contributo, inserito in un progetto di ricerca più ampio, intende sottolineare l’importanza della riflessività e dell’uso di specifiche tecnologie a supporto della pratica riflessiva in ambito formativo. Al fine di sviluppare tali processi, è stata proposta e realizzata una attività didattica, della durata di dieci settimane, supportata dal portfolio digitale e che ha visto coinvolti 70 studenti. Al termine del percorso formativo, quindi, è stato condotto un focus group allo scopo di individuare analizzare opinioni e consapevolezze dei partecipanti. La relativa trascrizione dell’intervista è stata poi analizzata attraverso la metodologia dell’analisi tematica, agevolata dall’impiego di uno specifico software, dalla quale è emerso che l’impiego di strumenti come l’e-portfolio stimola efficacemente la comprensione critica e analitica dei contenuti, con una conseguente crescita dell’autoconsapevolezza. In aggiunta, si delinea con forza la neces-sità percepita da studenti e studentesse di costruire adeguati spazi e tempi da dedicare alla riflessione, specialmente nel contesto accademico di formazione, nel quale la velocità e la sovrabbondanza di informazioni da assimilare sono spesso la norma.

Abstract
Reflective action allows for the analysis of thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, both of one’s own and of others, enabling a better understanding of motivations, perspectives, and relationships. This contribution is part of a larger research project aiming to emphasize the importance of reflexivity and the use of specific technologies to support reflective practice in educational contexts. To foster such processes, a ten-week educational activity was proposed and implemented, supported by a digital portfolio, involving 70 students. At the end of the educational journey, a focus group was conducted to identify and analyse the participants’ opinions and awareness. The interview transcription was then analysed using thematic analysis methodology, facilitated using specific software, revealing that the use of tools such as the e-portfolio effectively stimulates critical and analytical understanding of content, leading to increased self-awareness. Additionally, there is a strong indication of the perceived need by male and female students to create suitable spaces and times for reflection, especially in the academic training context, where the speed and abundance of information to be assimilated are often the norm.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
