Maria Chiara Pettenati
Research Director at INDIRE (National Institute of Documentation, Innovation and Educational
Research) — Teachers Training Area
Maria Chiara Pettenati was born in Bujumbura (Burundi) in December 17 th 1970. She holds an
honours degree in Electronics Engineering (1996) and a PhD in Telematics and Information
Society (2000) from the Electronics and Telecommunications Deopartment of the University of
Florence.
Since 1/2014 she is Research Director at INDIRE (National Institute of Documentation,
Innovation and Educational Research) a public research institute whose main mission is to sustain
the evolution of the Italian educational system through technology-enhanced teachers training, system
actions for improvement and innovation. Her main research interests deal with teachers'
training (Induction and Continuous Professional Development), educational technologies, e learning and e-knowledge, in which she authored also a number of scientific papers, also cited in
the selected bibliography. Cited papers present models of high impa ct since they can be
generalized and currently serve as basis for several research experiences often involving great
number of users (newly qualified or in-service teachers).
At INDIRE she is research unit leader in several projects related to teachers training (induction and
Continuous Professional Development). Among the most important are:
1) Neoa ssunti, the mandatory tra ining progra ms for Newly Qua lified Tea chers jointly
organised by INDIRE and the Italian Ministry of Education (MIUR), involving about 85.000
teachers in 2015-2016, 30.000 teachers in 2014-2015, 15.000 teachers in 2013-2014.
2 ) D o c e n t i l n F o r m a z i o ne , t e a c h e r s t r a i n i n g p ro g r a m i n i n n o v a t i v e t ea c h i n g m e t h o d s
conducted within EDOC@WORK Project (Research & Competitiveness National Operative
Programme 2007-2013: Smart Cities and Communities and Social Innovation), committed to
accelerate the conditions enabling educational innovation in Apulia region.
Her research focuses aims at identifying principles, patterns and technologies which supports
professionalism and alternation for teachers professional development and awareness so as to train
teachers throughout their lifelong formai and informa! occasions of development, starting from ITE (Initial
teacher Education) towards continuous development. The research dispositive implemented in several
training initiatives conducted by INDIRE (the recursion between immersion and distancing from the
practice; the presence of questions which help reflection; the possi bility of building narratives connecting
personal practice to theoretical perspectives, such as portfolio) can favour teachers professional
development along this direction.
