Narrative orientation paths: an evaluation of the experience during the second year of the project in secondary schools of the University of Perugia

Abstract

The paper examines some orientation paths conducted in upper secondary schools by the University of Perugia, in relation to the provisions on school-university transition (PNRR Investment 1.6). The examined paths are characterized by their focus on the December 2022 Guidelines on orientation. The objective of these paths was to facilitate students' reflection on their personal identity through the use of the narrative orientation method and to develop certain orientation skills. The paths were evaluated using questionnaires administered before and after the intervention: based on the obtained results, it can be hypothesized that there was an increase in students' self-awareness and their competencies. The initial expectations appear to be confirmed, and an impact on students' decision-making processes and personal motivation can be observed.
