Enactive approaches for the teachers’ professional development

This contribution presents an experience aimed at supporting theemerging professionalism of future teachers during their initial training.The workshop “Documenting the professionalization of the teacher”, held in the fifth year of the degree course in “Scienze della Formazione Primaria”, University of Macerata, is indeed oriented to reconstruct and document the skills acquired during the degree course, through an enactive approach. In the training of future teachers, the relevance of the body and the didactic action, performed during the internship, finds concrete visibility in the construction of the ePortfolio. In it, evidence is also collected using audio and video files concerning the didactic action in context. The conscious and active participation of students and the use of work tools such as rubrics, competence assessment, and ePortfolio have fostered a reflective and problematic posture in the participants. This posture is now essential not only to meet the need for recursion, inherent in the teaching-learning process, but also to address the complexity characterizing the currenteducational landscape.
