Based on the theoretical framework of Student Voice, this paper presents a research study designed to verify whether a social networking site such as Facebook represents a feasible way for secondary school students to express their voice on school so as to enhance the quality of school education. With this purpose in mind, a private group was set up on Facebook and some questions were posted to activate participation. Moreover, two surveys were administered to gauge students' confidence with Facebook and explore the reasons behind their overall reticence to participate in the proposed activity. The low levels of response provide the authors with elements for reflecting upon the Student Voice approach and how it might be implemented successfully at school level. They also lead to some considerations about the use of social networking sites in the school context.
Assumendo come framework teorico l'approccio Student Voice, l'articolo presenta una ricerca che ha inteso verificare se un ambiente come quello di Facebook possa essere utilizzato per dare voce agli studenti di un istituto superiore in relazione alle loro idee sulla scuola, con lo scopo di renderli protagonisti dei processi di miglioramento della qualità scolastica. A tale scopo è stato predisposto un gruppo privato su Facebook con alcune domande per attivare la partecipazione. Sono stati, inoltre, somministrati due questionari per esplorare il grado di familiarità con Facebook e le ragioni della scarsa partecipazione all'attività proposta. La scarsa partecipazione ha condotto le autrici a sviluppare alcune riflessioni su diversi piani, sia in relazione all'approccio Student Voice e alle condizioni per una sua efficace implementazione nella scuola, sia sull'uso dei social network in ambito scolastico.

Abstract
Based on the theoretical framework of Student Voice, this paper presents a research study designed to verify whether a social networking site such as Facebook represents a feasible way for secondary school students to express their voice on school so as to enhance the quality of school education. With this purpose in mind, a private group was set up on Facebook and some questions were posted to activate participation. Moreover, two surveys were administered to gauge students' confidence with Facebook and explore the reasons behind their overall reticence to participate in the proposed activity. The low levels of response provide the authors with elements for reflecting upon the Student Voice approach and how it might be implemented successfully at school level. They also lead to some considerations about the use of social networking sites in the school context.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
