Valutare la self-efficacy all’Università. Uno studio pilota nel corso di Scienze dell’Educazione e della Formazione

In the process of renewing the assessment models in a socio-constructivist and centred learnerdirection, the self-assessment represents a possible declination of the formativeassessment in university study paths. It is, in fact, a process that enhances students’ criticalthinking, to understand both the difficulties and their level of self-efficacy in developinglifelong and lifewide skills, useful as well as in contexts formally assigned to learning, alsoin real and professional life. The pilot survey, carried out with a group of students from theDegree Course in Education and Training Sciences at the University of Macerata, confirmsthe importance of self-assessment and focuses attention on the perception of the constructof self-efficacy. The study, in fact, represents the first step of a broader and more complexassessment process, aimed at detecting students’ self-efficacy on their socio-cognitiveskills pursued by the study profile of socio-pedagogical educator.
