Observatory

An observatory and a collaboratory international and interdisciplinary research laboratory devoted to research for increasing knowledge are distinguishable from a mere observing station or an educational laboratory. An observatory gathers the knowledge of the researched scientific field that has been transformed into articles and posts, both written and audio-visual, which give an account of the latest developments being prepared in the world of education with the use of technology.

The observatory provides the latest publications and conversations in related scientific fields by the scientific interests categories

The study aims to describe the actions implemented by educational services during the emergency by COVID-19 in the spring of 2020, in order to understand how kindergartens and kindergartens responded to the emergency situation.
The aim of the research is to understand how educators, teachers and pedagogical coordinators of childcare educational services 0-6 have faced the lockdown period and consequently how the educational relationship has been declined, proposals, involvement actions, training, planning and pedagogical documentation.
Through a questionnaire administered to the services for children mainly of Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna in the first months of the lockdown, were investigated the changes introduced with the intent to understand lived and ethical questionsmoral, changes in planning, conditions for a continuity of educational processes through renewed relationships, able to bring out the salient and generative features of education.		We can check the type of data thei provide. Then, we can make a reasonment on how the pandemic has been “useful” to enhance the use and the relationship between teacher/students and digital technologies

The data are extracted from the OpenTeQ project, a controlled trial to assess the impact of light training on teachers’ relational skills.
The dataset includes two waves of CATI survey, conducted between 2016 and 2017 on teachers of Italian and mathematics in the secondary classes of 198 secondary schools of 1st grade (grade 7). Teachers were asked to evaluate their effectiveness in teaching through the Ohio State Teacher Efficacy Scale (OSTES). Longitudinal data were collected on 1,912 respondents, for a final response rate of 92%. The collected data are used to test the measurement invariance of OSTES over time, assessing the impact of different analytical approaches on the adequacy of the estimated models and on the measurement and structural parameters.		This dataset can be useful to address the issue of teachers’ relational skills, expecially considering our future training activities (we may find something interesting to enhance teacher’s relational skills though our training activities).

Elearning standards

The project starts from the observation that, currently, the academic community perceives that it’s still difficult to define elearning standards able to inform academic governance and stakeholders about the quality of e-learning processes. 

D-ChallengHE recognises the need to produce and validate a series of new quality assurance standards that consider the qualitative dimension of educational interaction in online learning environments and the need to communicate best practices at European level.

The definition of these standards relies on the intersection among policy, technology, education, society, and the labour market.
