This paper concerns some self-assessment initiatives in a comprehensive school in Rome (primary and lower secondary school) in 2021 and 2022. In particular, a written semi-structured interview on the well-being and discomfort conditions, developed by a group of teachers in collaboration with the Roma Tre University, and the results of its administration with schoolteachers are discussed. Furthermore, the reflexivity questionnaire ‘When I teach’ designed by Sapienza University of Rome (Botta, 2022) is described and its results are discussed. The results are in line with the ones of other studies (Gozzoli, 2017) and reveal that there are not only important wellbeing factors but also the ones of discomfort to reflect on. Finally, it is emphasized how a self-evaluation initiative in a school that carries out research on itself can become an experience of self-training for its teachers and improvement of the whole school.
Il contributo riguarda alcune iniziative di autovalutazione di un istituto comprensivo di Roma (scuola primaria e secondaria di I grado) negli anni 2021-2022. Si illustrano in particolare i risultati della somministrazione ai docenti della scuola di un’intervista scritta semi-strutturata sulle condizioni di benessere/disagio elaborata da alcuni docenti in collaborazione con l’Università di Roma Tre e del questionario “Quando insegno” sulla riflessività elaborato da Sapienza Università di Roma (Botta, 2022). I risultati sono in linea con quelli di altre indagini (Gozzoli, 2017) e mostrano una scuola in cui prevalgono i fattori benessere da valorizzare, ma non mancano quelli di disagio su cui riflettere. In ultimo si sottolinea come le iniziative di autovalutazione in una scuola che fa ricerca su sé stessa possano diventare esperienze di (auto)formazione per i propri insegnanti e di miglioramento per tutto l’istituto.

Abstract
This paper concerns some self-assessment initiatives in a comprehensive school in Rome (primary and lower secondary school) in 2021 and 2022. In particular, a written semi-structured interview on the well-being and discomfort conditions, developed by a group of teachers in collaboration with the Roma Tre University, and the results of its administration with schoolteachers are discussed. Furthermore, the reflexivity questionnaire ‘When I teach’ designed by Sapienza University of Rome (Botta, 2022) is described and its results are discussed. The results are in line with the ones of other studies (Gozzoli, 2017) and reveal that there are not only important wellbeing factors but also the ones of discomfort to reflect on. Finally, it is emphasized how a self-evaluation initiative in a school that carries out research on itself can become an experience of self-training for its teachers and improvement of the whole school.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
