Notas de uso
- In Italy, docente is broader and more formal than professore; it can mean any teaching staff member, not just a full professor.
- For school teachers, insegnante is more common in everyday speech; docente often appears in official, academic, or administrative contexts.
- Use docente for both men and women; the article changes: il docente, la docente.
