Title: The Empirical Phenomenological Method (EPM) and Its Application within an Educational Research
Abstract: The article presents an innovative and rigorously founded research method, particularly suitable for empirical studies in the educational field: the Empirical Phenomenological Method (EPM). After describing the theoretical bases and heuristic actions of the method, its application within an educative research aimed at promoting ethics for citizenship in a primary school will be shown. Attention will be paid to the use of the EPM for the analysis of data relating to a Socratic conversation. The method's effectiveness in evaluating the outcomes of the implemented activity will be argued. The article offers a contribution in order to respond to the growing need to identify adequate methods to verify the quality of interventions in schools, highlighting their strengths and criticalities. The potential of the EPM will be discussed both in reference to the improvement of educational and teaching practices and in the training and enhancement of teaching professionalism.

Title: Il Metodo Fenomenologico Empirico (MFE) e la sua applicazione in una ricerca educativa
Abstract: L'articolo presenta un metodo di ricerca innovativo e rigorosamente fondato che si presta particolarmente agli studi empirici in ambito educativo: il Metodo Fenomenologico Empirico (MFE). Dopo aver descritto le basi teoriche e le azioni euristiche del metodo, ne viene mostrata l'applicazione nell'ambito di una ricerca educativa finalizzata a promuovere l'etica per la cittadinanza presso una scuola primaria. L'attenzione è concentrata all'impiego del MFE per l'analisi dei dati relativi a un'attività di conversazione socratica, e ne viene argomentata l'efficacia nel valutare gli esiti dell'attività implementata. L'articolo mira quindi ad offrire un contributo utile a rispondere al bisogno sempre più rilevante di identificare metodi opportuni per verificare la qualità degli interventi attuati nelle scuole, individuandone punti di forza e criticità. Vengono discusse le potenzialità del MFE sia in riferimento al miglioramento delle pratiche educative e didattiche sia nella formazione e valorizzazione della professionalità docente.
