Dual education and talent: the “agency” role of the tutor

Abstract

The paper examines the talent training through the new dual learning methodologies and the new role of the secondary school teacher in the alternation between school and work.
The dissemination of forms of work-based learning has been and is at the heart of the most significant European recommendations on the subject of education and training.
In Italy in particular, in the light of recent legislative interventions on apprenticeship training (Legislative Decree 81 of 2015) and on the alternation between school and work (Law 107 called “Buona scuola”) a strong message was launched to teachers, tutors, tutors companies, managers, entrepreneurs in order to create new contaminations between the educational world and the world of work to counter the negative phenomena of youth unemployment and Neet.
It is therefore necessary to ask ourselves about some “key questions” such as: how can the school make these dual methods effective redesigning new curricola? How to train new talents in the initial training courses to face the work of the future and how can the teacher class facilitate the student’s learning through an action of agency tutorship?
