The article aims to explore the opportunities offered by evaluative brainstorming to investigate the concepts of quality and innovation in the scholastic context, starting from the research project -Towards the digital school- carried out by the Department of Communication and Social Research of Sapienza University of Rome. After developing a first theorization of the concepts of quality and innovation in the first paragraph, we explain the motivations behind the choice of evaluative brainstorming as a research technique, to then explore the semantic field and the shared definition of quality and of indicators related to innovative digital didactics. The article concludes with a reflection on the use of evaluative brainstorming intended both as a participatory technique capable of activating self-reflective processes in teaching practices, and as a catalyst for a new culture of evaluation that focuses on the continuous learning of teachers and students.
