Abstract
Dear readers,
starting from this issue – the first of 2025 – I am taking on the role of Direttrice Responsabile of the Italian Journal of Educational Technology. It is a responsibility that deeply honors me, also representing an extraordinary opportunity for my professional growth.
Having worked for many years as a science journalist for the National Research Council of Italy (Cnr), the chance to become more directly involved in the work of a research community of one if its Institutes allows me, once again, to broaden my perspective in understanding its goals, achievements and values, pushing me to the very frontier of knowledge in this crucial field, which is currently under-going deep transformations.
For this reason, one of my first tasks will be to help increasing the visibility of the Journal as widely as possible, promoting and showcasing its many contributions – along with calls for papers as well as every milestone of its “ongoing life” – to a broad range of stakeholders: academics, Italian and international research institutions, policymakers, educational system, mass media.
The Italian Journal of Educational Technology is the first Italian scientific journal dedicated to educational technologies, and certainly one of the longest-standing journals of the Cnr. In my vision, it will be important to preserve its uniqueness and prestige, giving evidence to the reflections it offers, and sharing them with broader segments of society with the goal of fostering an informed and conscious public debate. The evolution of educational technologies and their impact on the educational system is, also, a topic that personally involves me, having dedicated part of my research job in exploring which skills are essential to preserve and develop in order to interact appropriately with AI – a tool which is becoming increasingly pervasive even in teaching and educational contexts.
For my part, I will be fully committed and responsible in supporting the work of the Editor-in-chief, the Co-editors, and the Editorial Board, to ensure that the Journal continues to serve as a key reference point and an “open laboratory” around these topics.
Enjoy your reading, and may we walk this path together.
