The survey, carried out through a questionnaire, sought to understand if and how much the university training received in ICT had an impact on DL (Distance Learning) teaching and ensured inclusive processes for pupils with SEN (Special Education Needs). What emerges from the research are both the opportunities that ICT can offer for the educational support and inclusion of children and young people with SEN, especially in emergency situations such as that of COVID-19 and, at the same time, the need for more targeted training in educational technology for all school personnel, in order to ensure educational processes that are adequate to meet both collective and individual needs.   I learning outcomes della specializzazione per il sostegno: una comparazione valutativa tra atenei Il presente articolo descrive i risultati di una ricerca comparativa che ha coinvolto 608 insegnanti di sostegno di cui 300 specializzati nell’Ateneo di Sassari e 308 in altri 8 atenei italiani.

Dalla ricerca emergono sia le opportunità che le TIC possono offrire per il supporto educativo e l’inclusione dei bambini e ragazzi con BES, soprattutto in situazioni di emergenza come quella del COVID-19, e al contempo la necessità di una formazione più mirata sulle tecnologie per la didattica per tutto il personale scolastico, per garantire processi educativi adeguati ai bisogni di tutti e di ciascuno. https://oaj.fupress.net/index.php/formare/article/view/10432trainingsupportinclusionICTformazionesostegno
