9. 9 Technological studies in the school system take place within two frameworks: The first is technological literacy for all, aimed at students in Scuola media (Lower high school). The second is Vocational and Technology education at high school aimed at specializing in technology related subjects and preparing students for employment in various fields of technology and academic learning.

18. 18 Teacher training Graduated students Teachers School of Specialization for Secondary Teaching (SSIS)

19. 19 This aim is reached through:  a new definition of the teaching contents focussing on the “main point” of each subjects: that is to say what is really important to learn in order to get a sufficient outline of knowledge and competences within the objectives of the chosen course.  a flexibility of teaching, organised in teaching modules, characterised by clusters of topics each of which is fundamental to the knowledge of the main aspects of the studied subject. Teaching methods The purpose of the SSIS is the selection, the training and the qualification of the new teachers of secondary school

20. 20  the research of educational answers to the different local situations and to socio-cultural problems arising from the different places of origin of the students, also by means of individual additional teaching during the four hours of “Knowledge Widening”of the weekly timetable.  the inclusion in the different subjects of teaching modules concerning local cultural and economical aspects together with professional topics linked to the course of study  a great number of hours dedicated to workshop activities not only considered as simple manual training but as an application of all the acquired knowledge and as a moment of development of a particular vocational role.

34. 34 Pedagogical Common Programme Objectives Learning outcomes The training program let the students become future teachers. The basic notions of Psychology and Pedagogy give to the teachers the possibility to create positive relations with their future pupils in order to give to the pupils their knowledge. The laboratory courses give to the students the possibility to know the main didactical tools for the teaching, specific software (simulation, sound and signal processing, …) which the teacher will stimulate the future pupils' curiosity with The course treat the actual problems of pedagogy meant as a discipline historically dedicated to the same theme, and the problems of sciences, recently associated with pedagogy, orienting to some formative models. The course includes a general section, the preparation section, and an approach to the current Italian pedagogy.
