Comunicare apprendimento e valutazione: l’importanza di un dialogo efficace tra insegnanti, genitori e alunni

Abstract

In today’s educational context, there is an increasingly urgent need to build a concrete alliance between school and family, based on collaboration, sharing, and dialogue. Effective communication between the two parties is the foundation of a positive relationship, capable of fostering a calm and meaningful school experience for children. A recent mixed-method study conducted in several primary schools in the Veneto region investigated the communication and collaboration dynamics between the two educational agencies, involving through questionnaires and interviews 472 teachers, 1,885 parents, and 177 students. The aim was to explore the quality of school-family communication in order to identify effective strategies for promoting student well-being and educational success. The results highlight some critical issues, particularly regarding assessment processes and homework. The study also emphasizes the importance of constantly monitoring and evaluating the school-family relationship, responding to the needs of those involved so that families can perceive a genuine commitment from the school toward continuous and shared improvement.
