La valutazione del contesto educativo è un’operatività complessa che ha forti punti di connessione ma non coincide con la valutazione del percorso compiuto dal bambino. Si tratta di una competenza professionale che va costruita tenendo conto anzitutto delle finalità formative del contesto. A partire da una riflessione semantica attorno al verbo “valutare” e alle sue intrinseche connessioni con la realtà educativa, la valutazione precede, accompagna e segue i percorsi educativi per sostenere e promuovere la crescita dei bambini e di tutti coloro che se ne prendono cura: attiva le azioni da intraprendere, regola quelle avviate, promuove il bilancio critico su quelle condotte a termine. Essa assume una preminente funzione formativa, di accompagnamento dei processi di apprendimento e di stimolo al miglioramento continuo. Il mio elaborato intende mettere in evidenza i suoi numerosi aspetti sottolineando le premesse che ne guidano la realizzazione, attraverso l’osservazione che diventerà uno strumento fondamentale per supportarla, integrando la documentazione e l’autovalutazione , al fine di migliorare e comprendere meglio il contesto educativo. Si vuole ampiamente dimostrare che il processo di valutazione nel contesto educativo riveste un ruolo fondamentale per il lavoro dell’educatore, attraverso il quale auto-valutando il suo percorso di apprendimento, riflette e prende coscienza di cosa e come apprende riprogettando con la funzione di introdurre modalità riflessive sull’intera organizzazione dell’azione educativa, ai fini del suo continuo miglioramento. L’agire valutativo, infatti, attraverso la riflessione cognitiva, diventa un aspetto imprescindibile del processo conoscitivo e strumento primario a servizio dell’offerta educativa e delle pratiche adottate al fine di poter progettare interventi formativi efficaci e adeguati alle esigenze.

Abstract
The evaluation of the educational context is a complex operation that has strong points of connection but does not coincide with the evaluation of the path taken by the child. It is a professional competence that must be built taking into account first of all the formative purposes of the context. Starting from a semantic reflection around the verb "evaluate" and its intrinsic connections with the educational reality, the evaluation precedes, accompanies and follows the educational paths to support and promote the growth of children and all those who take care of them: it activates the actions to be undertaken, regulates those started, promotes the critical assessment of those completed. It takes on a prominent formative function, of accompanying the learning processes and of stimulating continuous improvement. My paper intends to highlight its numerous aspects by underlining the premises that guide its realization, through observation that will become a fundamental tool to support it, integrating the documentation and self-assessment, in order to improve and better understand the educational context. It is intended to demonstrate in detail that the evaluation process in the educational context plays a fundamental role in the work of the educator, through which by self-evaluating his learning path, he reflects and becomes aware of what and how he learns, redesigning with the function of introducing reflective methods on the entire organization of the educational action, for the purpose of its continuous improvement. In fact, evaluative action, through cognitive reflection, becomes an essential aspect of the cognitive process and a primary tool at the service of the educational offer and the practices adopted in order to be able to design effective and needs-appropriate training interventions.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
