Nel contesto scolastico, imparare a comprendere il perché di una valutazione è certamente una delle sfide più ardue che gli studenti cercano di compiere quotidianamente. La guida attiva dei docenti può fattivamente aiutare in questa riflessione continua che accompagna ogni persona per l’intero arco della vita. Imparare a riflettere sul significato di una valutazione aiuta ad affrontare il processo metacognitivo dell’autovalutazione, intesa come competenza da costruire quotidianamente per la ricerca di uno status di ben-essere. Il presente articolo punta a riflettere sull’importanza che studenti e docenti, oggi, danno alla valutazione, analizzando rappresentazioni personali rispetto alle valutazioni degli apprendimenti e delle performance scolastiche, le aspettative familiari e le influenze date dal contesto sociale, parallelamente alla presentazione dei risultati di una metariflessione cognitiva guidata sull’argomento, da parte di docenti in formazione e studenti di una Scuola Secondaria di I grado.

Abstract
In the school context, learning to understand the reason for an evaluation is certainly one of the most arduous challenges that students try to accomplish on a daily basis. The active guidance of teachers can effectively help in this continuous reflection that accompanies each person throughout their entire life. Learning to reflect on the meaning of an evaluation helps to address the metacognitive process of self-evaluation, understood as a skill to be built daily in the search for a state of well-being. This article aims to reflect on the importance that students and teachers give to evaluation today, analyzing personal representations with respect to the evaluations of learning and school performance, family expectations and the influences given by the social context, in parallel with the presentation of the results of a guided cognitive meta-reflection on the topic by teachers in training and students of an Italian middle school.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
