In this article we propose anovel analysis data which have emerged from a research aimed at highlighting the development of the concept of competence in secondary schools. In particular, we want to emphasize the teaching strategies used by teachers in the classroom in order to understand whether or not teaching actions are directed towards the development of skills. In this study, we have emphasized the role of reflexivity in jsupporting this development. We involved 23 secondary schools with a stratified sample of students (N = 2893). With the qualitative analysis we can say that students have revealed some features of expertise that can be put in relation with the studies and approaches oriented towards reflectiveness and critical thinking in teaching. These insights highlight some critical aspects of school organization (school / institutional and instructional design) whose aim must be to enable you to transform the school into a learning environment for skills and reflectiveness.
