In the era of technological development, globalization and increasingly interdisciplinary work contexts, it becomes important, if not necessary, to recover and deepen those educational models that make relationships the centre of the learning process in order to train students who are able to give a sense of the tools acquired rather than being passive agents. Considering this need, this paper intends to focus on the innovation of university education in the context of Italian medical education. In order to accompany readers in the progressive approach to this theme, the articulation of the chapters proceeds from the general to the particular. Readers will begin their journey with the discovery of new learning theories associated with innovative teaching methods, to then meet the specifics of the new university education influenced by these innovations and finally the specific world of university medical education. After acquiring a knowledge of the innovative context within which the new university training in the medical context is moving, readers will be able to consult two research studies carried out within this practical-theoretical panorama. Research is presented following the structure of scientific articles. In light of the relevant literature, the objectives of the first study are: 1) to translate, adapt and validate the Conceptions of Learning and Teaching (COLT) in Italian so that it can become a tool for promoting and monitoring the implementation of a more student-centered approach in the Italian universities and 2) to acquire a first representation of the state of the art of the teaching attitude of the teachers of different Italian universities so as to be able to eventually implement specific training courses aimed at teachers. The first study shows that: 1) the Italian version of the questionnaire (COLT-IT) is composed of two sub-scales (Teacher Centredness and Appreciation of Active Leraning) each of 5 items and 2) the teachers of the Italian medical schools show more student-centered rather than teacher-centered approach. In direct continuity with the first study, the second research aims to 1) evaluate the patient-centeredness of teachers from different Italian medical schools and the presence of any gender differences and 2) the quantitative statistical relationship between teachers' conceptions on learning / teaching (student-centered or teacher-centered) and their aptitude to be patient-centered or doctor-centered so as to acquire information about the variables that could support the development of medical students’ patient-centeredness. The second study reveals 1) gender differences in teachers' patient centeredness, 2) a negative association between teacher-centeredness and the Caring and Sharing scales, and 3) a positive association between student-centeredness and the Caring scale. In conclusion, this thesis allows to provide further scientific evidence to support the effort in the promotion and implementation of student-centered teaching in Italian medical schools.
Nell’era dello sviluppo tecnologico, della globalizzazione e di contesti lavorativi sempre più interdisciplinari diviene importante, se non necessario, recuperare e approfondire quei modelli educativi che fanno della relazione il centro del processo di apprendimento al fine di formare studenti che siano in grado di dare un senso agli strumenti acquisiti piuttosto che esserne agenti passivi. Alla luce di questa necessità, il presente elaborato intende concentrarsi sull’innovazione della formazione universitaria nel particolare contesto della medical education italiana. Al fine di accompagnare i lettori nel progressivo avvicinamento a questo tema, l’articolazione dei capitoli procede dal generale al particolare. I lettori inizieranno il loro viaggio con la scoperta delle nuove teorie dell’apprendimento a cui sono associati innovativi metodi didattici, per poi incontrare le specifiche della nuova formazione universitaria influenzata da queste innovazioni ed infine il particolare mondo della formazione medica universitaria. Dopo aver acquisito una conoscenza del contesto innovativo all’interno del quale si sta muovendo la nuova formazione universitaria nel contesto medico, i lettori potranno procedere alla consultazione di due ricerche svolte all’interno di questo panorama pratico-teorico. Le ricerche sono presentate seguendo la struttura di articoli scientifici così da essere auto-consistenti. Alla luce della letteratura di riferimento gli obiettivi del primo studio sono: 1) tradurre, adattare e validare in italiano il Conceptions of Learning and Teaching (COLT) così che possa diventare uno strumento di promozione e monitoraggio in merito all’ implementazione di una didattica maggiormente student-centred nei diversi Atenei italiani ed 2) acquisire una prima rappresentazione campionaria in merito allo stato dell’arte dell’atteggiamento didattico dei docenti di diverse università italiane così da poter eventualmente implementare percorsi di formazione specifici rivolti ai docenti. Dal primo studio emerge che: 1) la versione italiana del questionario (COLT-IT) è composta da due sotto-scale (Teacher Centredness e Appreciation of Active Leraning) ciascuna di 5 items e 2) i docenti delle scuole di medicina italiane mostrano un atteggiamento maggiormente centrato sullo studente piuttosto che sul docente. In diretta continuità con il primo studio, la seconda ricerca ha lo scopo di 1) valutare la patient-centredness dei docenti di diverse scuole di medicina italiane e la presenza di eventuali differenze di genere e 2) la relazione statistica quantitativa tra le concezioni dei docenti sull’apprendimento/insegnamento (student-centred o teacher-centred) e la loro attitudine all’essere patient-centred o doctor-centred così da acquisire informazioni in merito alle variabili che potrebbero sostenere lo sviluppo di un atteggiamento centrato sul paziente degli studenti di medicina. Dal secondo studio emergono 1) delle differenze di genere nella patient centredness dei docenti, 2) un’associazione negativa tra l’atteggiamento centrato sul docente e le scale di Caring e Sharing e 3) un’associazione positiva tra l’atteggiamento centrato sullo studente e la scala del Caring. In conclusione, il presente elaborato permette di acquisire ulteriori evidenze scientifiche a sostegno dello sforzo nella promozione ed implementazione della didattica centrata sullo studente nelle scuole di medicina italiane.

Abstract
In the era of technological development, globalization and increasingly interdisciplinary work contexts, it becomes important, if not necessary, to recover and deepen those educational models that make relationships the centre of the learning process in order to train students who are able to give a sense of the tools acquired rather than being passive agents. Considering this need, this paper intends to focus on the innovation of university education in the context of Italian medical education. In order to accompany readers in the progressive approach to this theme, the articulation of the chapters proceeds from the general to the particular. Readers will begin their journey with the discovery of new learning theories associated with innovative teaching methods, to then meet the specifics of the new university education influenced by these innovations and finally the specific world of university medical education. After acquiring a knowledge of the innovative context within which the new university training in the medical context is moving, readers will be able to consult two research studies carried out within this practical-theoretical panorama. Research is presented following the structure of scientific articles. In light of the relevant literature, the objectives of the first study are: 1) to translate, adapt and validate the Conceptions of Learning and Teaching (COLT) in Italian so that it can become a tool for promoting and monitoring the implementation of a more student-centered approach in the Italian universities and 2) to acquire a first representation of the state of the art of the teaching attitude of the teachers of different Italian universities so as to be able to eventually implement specific training courses aimed at teachers.
