Abstract
The international strategic orientations (EHEA 2020) have long reaffirmed the need to enhance the professionalism of university teachers within the centers -Teaching and Learning Centers, which provide systems for the promotion, recognition and enhancement of skills acquired through training and educational research. The first TLC in Southern Italy was officially established in the University of Bari Aldo Moro (2017) with the establishment of a working group dedicated to faculty development programs and the adoption of the learning community model. This contribution presents the faculty developer model (Baker et al. 2018) of the University of Bari, deliberately designed to foster the creation of interdisciplinary networks and communities of practice for professional and organizational development at the departmental level (Sorcinelli, 2007). Through the training of developers, the development of specific methodological, evaluative, and technological skills will be promoted (Perla, Vinci, Scarinci, 2021a, 2021b).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
