GEMMA project for university teacher education: a scoping review to investigate digital, entrepreneu rial and soft skills

For several years the university has been at the center of a process of innovation and change which sees the continuous training of teachers and the development of teaching skills as the possibility of renewal and improvement of the edu cational and organizational quality of the institution (Dipace, Scarinci, 2021; Lotti, Lampugnani, 2020; Perla, Vinci, 2022; Felisatti, Serbati 2017). In this scenario, technological developments contribute to the creation of new, more flexible and widespread spaces for interaction, learning and teaching, which require an adaptation of teaching/orga nizational strategies and the ability to act in these contexts. Therefore, the need emerges for university professors to hybridize their knowledge, to acquire new skills that allow them to face the challenges posed by changing workplaces and be capable of generating an impact of their research outside the university. The present contribution intends to present the Erasmus+ project GEMMA (Game based le arning for Enhancement of new skills using Micro-MOOCs for Academic staff) and a scoping review of the scientific literature aimed at an exploratory analysis of the need in the university context to develop digital, entrepreneurial and soft skills.
