Abstract
Durante la pandemia del COVID-19, gli insegnanti hanno dovuto utilizzare la tecnologia
per permettere la continuità dell’apprendimento per gli studenti a distanza. Lo studio (N=334) esplora
le esperienze degli insegnanti della scuola primaria e secondaria (negli Stati Uniti denominata “K-
12”) riguardo l’uso della tecnologia per supportare l’insegnamento da remoto d’emergenza. Il 90%
dei partecipanti allo studio sono negli Stati Uniti, mentre il resto sono localizzati nel mondo. I risultati indicano che con l’incremento dell’uso di strumenti digitali, queste tecnologie supportano gli insegnanti nella comunicazione tradizionale in classe, la consegna di informazioni, e le pratiche di gestione.
I partecipanti hanno identificato diverse sfide, incluse la valutazione, la scelta, l’apprendimento,
l’adattamento dell’insegnamento e il supporto agli studenti e alle loro famiglie nell’uso della tecnologia.
Queste sfide, combinate alla grande velocità con la quale la tecnologia è stata impiegata in un periodo
molto incerto, hanno dato la sensazione agli educatori di non essere preparati per un insegnamento
remoto efficiente. Questo articolo considera perché la tecnologia potrebbe non aver espresso tutto il suo
potenziale in un periodo di grande bisogno.
