The transitions that adolescents are called upon to face are numerous: physical and biological changes, the search for their own identity, the affirmation of their independence and autonomy, and the choice of their role within social relationships with family, peers, and teachers. Adolescence also represents a key phase for life planning, as it is characterized by the exploration of interests, potential, and future perspectives. Developmental trajectories are influenced by both systemic factors and personal competencies. The aim of the study is to analyze the characteristics and developmental pathways of competencies and attitudes related to personal and professional development, as well as the relationships between these dimensions and socio-emotional development. The study involved 30 students enrolled in the first and second years of a vocational training institute in Veneto. A questionnaire on socio-emotional competencies, analyzed according to the CASEL model, and a qualitative tool for analyzing systems of influence were administered. The analysis of the narratives produced highlighted the influences that adolescents identify as significant in shaping their choices and attitudes toward the future, as well as patterns in the development of social and emotional competencies. The results make it possible to identify the role of different themes and systems of influence, and their specificity with respect to different levels of socio-emotional competencies. The study lays the groundwork for actions aimed at developing and promoting socio-emotional competencies, which are fundamental for positive and informed development.
Le transizioni che gli adolescenti sono chiamati ad affrontare sono numerose: i cambiamenti fisici e biologici, la ricerca della propria identità, l’affermazione della propria indipendenza e autonomia, la scelta del proprio ruolo nei legami sociali con la famiglia, col gruppo dei pari e con gli insegnanti. L’adolescenza rappresenta una fase chiave anche per il progetto di vita in quanto caratterizzata dall’esplorazione di interessi, potenzialità e prospettive future. Sulle traiettorie di sviluppo incidono sia le influenze sistemiche che le competenze personali. Lo studio ha lo scopo di analizzare le caratteristiche e le linee di sviluppo delle competenze e degli atteggiamenti rispetto allo sviluppo personale e professionale e le relazioni tra queste dimensioni e lo sviluppo socio-emotivo. Nello studio sono stati coinvolti 30 studenti e studentesse iscritti alle classi prima e seconda di un istituto di formazione professionale in Veneto. È stato proposto un questionario sulle competenze sociali-emotive analizzate secondo il modello CASEL ed uno strumento qualitativo per l’analisi dei sistemi di influenze. L’analisi delle narrazioni prodotte ha evidenziato le influenze che gli adolescenti identificano come significative nella definizione delle loro scelte e dei loro atteggiamenti verso il futuro; i pattern di sviluppo delle competenze sociali ed emotive. I risultati permettono di individuare il ruolo di diversi temi e sistemi di influenze, la loro specificità rispetto a diversi livelli di competenze socio-emotive. Lo studio pone le basi per azioni finalizzate allo sviluppo e alla promozione delle competenze socio-emotive, basilari per uno sviluppo positivo e consapevole.

Abstract
The transitions that adolescents are called upon to face are numerous: physical and biological changes, the search for their own identity, the affirmation of their independence and autonomy, and the choice of their role within social relationships with family, peers, and teachers. Adolescence also represents a key phase for life planning, as it is characterized by the exploration of interests, potential, and future perspectives. Developmental trajectories are influenced by both systemic factors and personal competencies. The aim of the study is to analyze the characteristics and developmental pathways of competencies and attitudes related to personal and professional development, as well as the relationships between these dimensions and socio-emotional development. The study involved 30 students enrolled in the first and second years of a vocational training institute in Veneto. A questionnaire on socio-emotional competencies, analyzed according to the CASEL model, and a qualitative tool for analyzing systems of influence were administered. The analysis of the narratives produced highlighted the influences that adolescents identify as significant in shaping their choices and attitudes toward the future, as well as patterns in the development of social and emotional competencies. The results make it possible to identify the role of different themes and systems of influence, and their specificity with respect to different levels of socio-emotional competencies. The study lays the groundwork for actions aimed at developing and promoting socio-emotional competencies, which are fundamental for positive and informed development.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
