Centrality of the task in online teaching. A device for both the mobilization of competences and the realization of feedback between student and teacher
The article
presents a Collaborative Research path between teachers and researchers, based
on the analysis of practices and their transformation. The focus has been
placed on the concept of task, an instrumental artifact that, even in a virtual
situation, is configured as: a space for the mobilization of competences (by
the pupil) and to observe this mobilization (by the teacher); a tool to support
the educational relationship, both in terms of feedback and in terms of
interaction and exchange between pupil and teacher; a device within which the
teacher can “hide himself” and guide the student in action. The first results
have allowed to co-produce a pattern for the design of the meaningful and
challenging task, tested in distance learning, but also useful in regular
situation of classroom teaching.
