Between Theories and Practices: study case about on-campus laboratories (LPD pedagogical-didactical laboratories) in Primary Teacher Education program at Milano – Bicocca University
Abstract
This paper present an empirical study to verify the effectiveness of on-campus laboratories (LPD pedagogical-didactical laboratories) of Primary Education Teacher Program at Milano-Bicocca University, The aim of the research is to verify the effectiveness and fully understand their methodology, highlighting strengths and weaknesses from the student’s and professor’s points of view. Determinants of laboratories quality are experiential learning, reflection on practices, and professors management style. Critical issues emerge in comparison with the ‘real’ school: the real school is completely different from the ideal one. The real school seldom teaches through laboratory where small cooperating groups learn by researching. These issues open up new paths of research on LPD education leaders and on training devices aimed at better connecting schools and Universities.
