Abstract

Negli ultimi decenni l’insegnamento dell’economia industriale è stato sottoposto a notevoli tensioni. Le novità che si sono affermate rendono necessaria una riflessione sui contenuti sviluppati e sulle metodologie adottate. Una recente indagine, rivolta ai docenti di economia industriale e di materie ‘affini’ che insegnano nelle università italiane, consente di approfondire alcuni aspetti del cambiamento in corso. I risultati mostrano che a) l’insegnamento dell’economia industriale ha seguito sentieri evolutivi diversificati e con marcate connotazioni specialistiche; b) sembra ridursi il nucleo tematico condiviso nei diversi corsi; c) sono state sperimentate in modo diffuso pratiche didattiche innovative, ma rimangono aperti spazi per ulteriori miglioramenti, in particolare nella didattica con strumenti web e nei metodi di coinvolgimento attivo degli studenti.
