MSCA domain: Social Sciences and Humanities (SOC) Research Group The AGIRE lab is a multi-disciplinary research group within the University of Genoa (Italy). Our research interests focus on the professional development of both pre- and in-service teachers. The acronym AGIRE gathers and explains crucial points related to the educational aspects of the teaching profession: Agency: indicates that teachers are responsible for carrying out educational actions to identify new ways and instructional strategies. Inclusion: shows the capacity of teachers to create learning environments open for all pupils and students of whatever conditions. Research: specifies the importance for teachers to develop their own inquiry attitude in order to investigate new strategies and educational paths. Equity: underlines that teachers must provide all pupils/students with opportunities for learning and growth. In Italian, the acronym AGIRE represents a meaningful word: to do something for somebody. In particular, the AGIRE lab aims to set up and carry out scientific studies that directly involve schools and teachers, especially in the following topics: Educational technologies Teaching strategies Summative and formative assessment Intercultural education Internationalisation of teacher education Ultimately, the AGIRE lab offers research activities for pre-service teachers so that they can experience research activities focused on key topics for the development of schools and the professional growth of teachers.
