Il contributo presenta i risultati di uno studio di caso condotto nella scuola secondaria di I grado Negri (San Siro, Milano), nella cornice del progetto PRIN Povertà educativa, svantaggio culturale e inclusione sociale dentro e fuori la scuola. Sviluppo professionale degli insegnanti e ricerca-formazione nell’era post-Covid e dell’Azione MUSA Contrasto e prevenzione dell’abbandono scolastico in quartieri urbani svantaggiati, i cui obiettivi convergono nella definizione di modelli di intervento sistemici a sostegno dello sviluppo professionale dei docenti al fine di promuovere una scuola più equa e inclusiva. L’analisi qualitativa di interviste semi-strutturate e focus group con docenti e Dirigenti, attraverso un sistema di categorie costruito sia theory-driven sia data-driven, ha permesso di individuare, in una prospettiva ecosistemica, fattori di rischio e protettivi quali le azioni di prevenzione implementate, le rappresentazioni dei docenti sulle cause della dispersione, i punti di forza e le criticità nel rapporto con le famiglie e con il territorio.

Abstract

The paper presents the results of a case study conducted at the Negri lower secondary school (San Siro, Milan), within the framework of the PRIN project Educational Poverty, Cultural Disadvantage, and Social Inclusion Inside and Outside School. Teachers’ Professional Development Research in the Post-Covid Era and the MUSA Action Contrasting and Prevention of Early School Leaving in Disadvantaged Urban Neighbourhoods, whose objectives converge in the definition of systemic intervention models to support teachers’ professional development to promote a more equitable and inclusive school. The qualitative analysis of semi-structured interviews and focus groups with teachers and school leaders, through a system of categories constructed both theory-driven and data-driven, allowed for the identification, from an ecosystemic perspective, of risk and protective factors such as implemented prevention actions, teachers’ representations of causes of dropout, strengths, and critical issues in the relationship with families and the network of services and administrations in the area.
