In addition to the realization of the booklet for the students and the review of the mathematics curriculum, the research activity was also concerned with monitoring and analyzing the progress of the evaluations of the students who were able to experience in first person a learning path so built.

Durante i tre anni di dottorato di ricerca in Formazione della persona e mercato del lavoro ho lavorato alla progettazione di un curricolo scolastico per matematica, poi realizzato all'interno dell'indirizzo di Operatore della ristorazione e Servizi di Sala e Bar, nell’ IeFP Oliver Twist presso Cometa Formazione a Como. All’ interno della collaborazione con la scuola ho rivestito il ruolo di docente di matematica per gli studenti delle classi dalla prima alla quinta. Ho progettato un curricolo di matematica basato sulla metodologia dal fare al sapere, per le classi del triennio, realizzando anche una dispensa per gli studenti. Lo scopo del mio lavoro di ricerca è stato quello di ripensare al curricolo di matematica per stimolare l’interesse e la motivazione degli studenti verso questa disciplina. È risaputo infatti che la maggior parte degli studenti frequentanti gli IeFP non sono interessati alla matematica perché la percepiscono spesso inutile in relazione alla professione che hanno scelto. Per fare ciò, ho tentato di rivisitare l’attuale curricolo di matematica ripensando alla modalità di trattazione dei temi proposti e facendo in modo che fosse in stretta sinergia con gli aspetti professionali più rilevanti. Al fine di rendere il più realistica possibile la progettazione di questo curricolo, senza tralasciare le competenze espresse negli OSA, è stato necessario confrontarmi continuamente con i colleghi docenti professionisti nei settori di sala, bar, cucina e pasticceria. Per agevolare la comprensione della sfera professionale esaminata, quella ristorativa, ho simulato con i colleghi la realizzazione di un evento, generalmente realizzato dagli studenti, così da poter cogliere tutti gli aspetti di questa professione che richiedono una competenza matematica e poterla poi trasmettere correttamente e in modo funzionale agli studenti stessi. Oltre alla realizzazione della dispensa studenti e alla rivisitazione del curricolo in matematica, l'attività di ricerca si è anche occupata di monitorare e analizzare l'andamento delle valutazioni degli studenti che hanno potuto vivere in prima persona un percorso d'apprendimento così costruito. Si è inoltre indagata attraverso un questionario la percezione che hanno avuto gli studenti.

Abstract

During the three years of PhD in Human capital formation and labour relations I worked on the design of a school curriculum for mathematics, realized within the course of Operator of catering and Room and Bar Services, in the IeFP Oliver Twist at Cometa Formazione in Como. Within the collaboration with the school, I took on the role of mathematics teacher for the students of the first to fifth classes. I designed a mathematics curriculum based on the methodology from doing to knowing, for the three-year classes, also creating a booklet for the students. The purpose of my research work was to rethink the mathematics curriculum to stimulate students' interest and motivation towards this discipline. In fact, it is well known that most of the students attending IeFPs are not interested in mathematics because they often perceive it as useless in relation to the profession they have chosen. To do this, I attempted to revisit the current mathematics curriculum by rethinking the method of dealing with the proposed themes and making sure that it was in close synergy with the most relevant professional aspects. In order to make the design of this curriculum as realistic as possible, without neglecting the competences expressed in the OSA, it has been necessary to continuously compare myself with the professional teachers in the room and bar, kitchen and pastry sectors. To facilitate the understanding of the professional sphere examined, the restaurant, I simulated with colleagues the realization of an event, generally carried out by the students, so as to be able to grasp all aspects of this profession that require a mathematical competence and then transmit it correctly and in functional way to the students themselves. In addition to the realization of the booklet for the students and the review of the mathematics curriculum, the research activity was also concerned with monitoring and analyzing the progress of the evaluations of the students who were able to experience in first person a learning path so built. The perception of the students was also investigated through a questionnaire.
