In base alla diffusione ampia ma squilibrata delle TIC nella società, è necessario che la scuola approcci strategicamente a nuovi metodi e pratiche di insegnamento mirati al continuo aggiornamento delle competenze e alla formazione delle competenze digitali. In opposizione alle diffuse critiche che imputano alla scuola immobilità resistenza al cambiamento, l'ipotesi di questa ricerca è che ci siano interessanti spazi di innovazione educativa realizzati da un gran numero di insegnanti che promuovono la ricerca e la sperimentazione educativa. L'obiettivo principale di questa ricerca è rilevare pratiche, abitudini e abilità digitali diffuse nelle istituzioni educative. Il paper, dunque, presenta uno studio pilota incentrato sia sulla sperimentazione di un questionario per misurare l'obiettivo, sia sull'analisi descrittiva dei dati per esplorare, dal punto di vista degli insegnanti, le forze dell'innovazione e le tensioni che alimentano il sistema.

Abstract
According to the wide unbalanced spread of ICT in today’s society, schools has been required to strategically approach new teaching methods and practices aiming at continuous skills, updating and digital competencies training. In opposition to the most spread criticisms about the school immobility, this research hypothesizes that there are interesting educational innovation spaces carried out by a large number of teachers who promote research and educational experimentation. The main goal of this research is detecting practices, customs and digital skills that are widespread within educational institutions. Thus, this paper discusses a pilot study focused on testing questionnaires measuring the goal and descriptive analyzing data for exploring, from the teachers’ point of view, the forces of innovation and the tensions that fuel the Digital educational system.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
