Title: The study of agency according to the Capability Approach in qualitative research paradigms

Abstract: The concept of agency according to the Capability Approach in educational settings is recent, and in research with teachers remains vague and scarcely conceptualized. This paper reviews the international studies on agency to identify theories, instruments, and methodologies to promote and inspect the teachers' agency according to a capability approach. This paper proposed two research streams. On the one hand, the development of new practices and cooperation between teachers can be promoted through the Cultural Historical Activity Theory to tackle problems considered as important by teachers, which means, according to a Capability Approach, promoting active participation and positive social change. On the other hand, when having to understand the factors that allow teachers to transform their functioning into capabilities, the identity and life course theory can help inspect the connections between the interactive, the practical-evaluative and projective dimensions of teachers' agency.

Title: Lo studio dell'agency secondo il Capability Approach nei paradigmi d'indagine qualitativa

Abstract: Il costrutto di agency secondo la prospettiva del Capability Approach in ambienti educativi è recente, e nelle ricerche con focus sugli insegnanti rimane inesatto e scarsamente concettualizzato. Questo contributo effettua una sin- tesi ragionata degli studi sull'agency soprattutto in ambito internazionale per identificare teorie, strumenti e metodologie di studio e promozione del- l'agentività degli insegnanti secondo il Capability Approach. Si propongono due linee di ricerca. Utilizzando la Teoria Storico Culturale dell'Attività si possono promuovere lo sviluppo di nuove pratiche per l'innovazione didattica e la cooperazione fra insegnanti per risolvere problemi considerati importanti per i docenti, il che significa promuovere la partecipazione attiva e il cambiamento sociale positivo. Da un punto di vista che mira, invece, a com- prendere i fattori che permettono al corpo docente la trasformazione dei funzionamenti potenziali in capacità agite, il modello identitario e del corso di vita può indagare le connessioni tra le dimensioni interattiva, pratico-valutativa e proiettiva dell'agency del corpo docente.

Title: L'étude de l'agence en fonction de l'approche des capacités dans les paradigmes d'enquête qualitative

Abstract: La construction de l'agence selon l'approche de la perspective de la capacité dans des environnements éducatives est récente, et dans la recherche avec l'accent sur les enseignants, elle reste inexacte et à peine conceptualisée.Cette contribution fait une sympathie motivée des études d'agence, en particulier à l'échelle internationale, pour identifier les théories, les outils et les méthodologies d'étude et la promotion de l'agent des enseignants en fonction de l'approche des capacités.Deux lignes de recherche sont proposées.En utilisant la théorie culturelle historique de l'activité, le développement de nouvelles pratiques pour l'enseignement de l'innovation et de la coopération entre les enseignants pour résoudre les problèmes considérés comme importants pour les enseignants peut être promu, ce qui signifie promouvoir une participation active et un changement social positif.D'un point de vue qui vise, cependant, à se conformer aux facteurs qui permettent au personnel enseignant la transformation des opérations potentielles en compétences en activité, l'identité et le modèle de cours de vie peuvent étudier les liens entre les dimensions interactives, pratiques et projectives de l'agence du personnel enseignant.

Abstract: La construcción de la agencia de acuerdo con la perspectiva del enfoque de capacidad en entornos educativos es reciente, y en la investigación con el enfoque en los maestros sigue siendo inexacta y apenas conceptualizada.Esta contribución simpatiza con los estudios de agencia, especialmente internacionalmente para identificar teorías, herramientas y metodologías de estudio y promoción del agente de maestros de acuerdo con el enfoque de capacidad.Se proponen dos líneas de investigación.Utilizando la teoría cultural histórica de la actividad, el desarrollo de nuevas prácticas para la enseñanza de la innovación y la cooperación entre los maestros para resolver problemas considerados importantes para los maestros puede promoverse, lo que significa promover la participación activa y el cambio social positivo.Sin embargo, desde el punto de vista que tiene como objetivo cumplir con los factores que permiten al personal docente la transformación de las operaciones potenciales en habilidades actuadas, el modelo de identidad y curso de vida puede investigar las conexiones entre las dimensiones interactivas, de evaluación práctica y proyectiva de la agencia del personal docente.
