NEW PEDAGOGICAL PARADIGMS AND EDUCATIONAL ECOSYSTEMS BETWEEN INNOVATION AND INCLUSION: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY

Riccardo Mancini, Sara Pellegrini, Riccardo Sebastiani

Abstract


This study investigates technology use in Italian schools through a survey of 1,394 teachers. While most recognize technology's benefits, infrastructural and training gaps persist, with younger teachers showing greater familiarity. Innovative methods like flipped classrooms remain underused. Teachers report increased student motivation but worry about excessive digitalization. Balancing innovation with relational teaching is key to sustainable, inclusive educational development.
