Helping to learn. What are good practices of educational intervention? Structure and preliminary results of a participatory research study

The impact of Covid-19 has produced a renewed debate on the quality of teaching and invited us to reconsider the strategic role of the teaching profession in providing quality education. Educational interventions that support the development of literacy skills represent a key direction of intervention, which also needs to be explored on the basis of a deeper understanding of educational processes in context. In relation to these issues, the contribution aims to present the framework and initial results of a participatory research project. The study re-proposes the usefulness and the problem of how to study teaching practices in order to obtain useful knowledge for the improvement of teaching processes.
