Abstract:
The paper presents the outcomes of a Training-Research course initiated as part of the in-service training activities aimed at mentors of newly hired teachers in Lazio, designed and led by the Department of Education Sciences of the University of Roma Tre in agreement with the Regional School Office. With a diachronic look, the aim of the research was to propose a synthesis of the evidence collected systematically from 2019 to 2024. In particular, peer observation activities in the induction year of newly hired teachers are explored in depth. In this context, a tool was introduced and validated that allows, by triangulating points of view, to detect information on teaching action taking into account some dimensions considered strategic to raise the quality of the teaching-learning process. The unit of analysis includes 3,731 mentor teachers and 3,420 newly hired teachers. The outcomes of the research confirm the importance of using reliable tools to be able to engage in constructive discussion aimed at exchanging formative feedback among peers that can contribute positively to the improvement of teaching.
