Project Innovative Training for teachers and trainers in Math

The scientific vocations crisis and the risulting mismatching between the demand for labour and the supply, cause, in their turn, of international competitiveness loss in the field of high technology, require a re-launch of scintific matters, in particular mathemetics. In this context, the project Il Giardino di Archimede was created to develop innovative methodologies an ricreational didattic tools to stimulate the student's interest and improve their performance in mathematics. The present project, named PITagorà, aimed to transfer the Il Giardino di Archimede model and dome tools, elaborated and tested in it, within a same but geographically different sector. Among the main objectives achieved there was the goal to train VET professionals in the use of innovative and attractive math teaching practices capable to offer to all students, in particular to the social and cultural weak ones, learning opportunities. The consortium permitted the optimal development of the project, because it was composed of, frst of all, four VET Vocational Training centre, PRAGMA Grouop Srl, Consorzio Nazionale PRO.GE.A. Formazione, Econometrica Ltd and Credij (linked to the French Ministry of Education - GIP Rectorat Paris - GRETA Network) and of a Universities consortium, Il Giardino di Archimede, that daily perform actions for the development skills and competences of VETprofessionals. Il Giardino di Archimede has had a critical role in the model transfer, in the training action of VET professionlas and in the supervision of its experimentation in three school in Basilicata. These Partners, with their results, had contributed, indirectly, to give a value to the methodology and the tools transferred. The tangible outcomes have been: an EUROPEAN KIT FOR TEACHING MATHEMATICS WITH PLAYFUL APPROACH, into English, Greek and French too; the results of the experimentation in Basilicata; publications, seminars and dedicated web site for the dissemination of results. As intangible outcomes, PITagorà, has developed in the VET professionals the awareness on importance and utility of the innovatove and attractive math teaching practices and, consequently, in the students, the awareness of the importance of the math as a determining subject for the individual delepoment and for an easier admittance in the working field. PITagorà has developed a strong impact on the European VET system, improving the learning quality and confirming the recreational didattic methodology at European level.
