Il presente contributo si inserisce nel dibattito epistemologico della Pedagogia e della Didattica Speciale per l’Inclusione, promuovendo una visione dell’autodeterminazione intesa come dimensione trasversale e fondante della Qualità di Vita di ogni persona, con un’attenzione privilegiata alle studentesse ed agli studenti con disabilità. In tale cornice pedagogica, il Self-Determination Inventory System (SDIS) si configura quale dispositivo capace di declinare una prospettiva ecologica e sistemica dell’inclusione scolastica e di sollecitare, al contempo, una postura riflessiva e inclusiva nella professionalità docente. Partendo da tali premesse, il paper – dopo aver esaminato il nesso intrinseco tra autodeterminazione e Qualità di Vita – presenta i risultati di una ricerca esplorativa, attraverso l’analisi di due studi di caso, focalizzata sulla rilevazione dell’autodeterminazione in ambito scolastico, implementata attraverso l’innovativo protocollo di triangolazione dei dati (studente, genitore, docente) previsto dall’SDIS.
