Tirocinio formativo e apprendistato di alta formazione come mediatori del sapere pratico. Risultati di un'indagine

The paper is based on research conducted at the Faculty of Education, University of Bari (AY 2010-2011) to shed light on how university students learn from practice. Aimed at training students more responsively to the emerging universe of companies, it uses two educational tools: the contract of apprenticeship of high training and research (D.Lgs. n. 167/2011) and internship. These tools represent an interesting "challenge" aimed at building pathways to higher education between universities and the workplace, as both places are a celebration not only of learning practical knowledge but also of inter-institutional construction of a third level work culture.
