Curriculum design between “individualization” and “personalization”. Empirical research on teachers’ professional competencies in Turin primary school

The present research, carried out at the primary school in the municipality of Turin, aims to investigate the professional knowledge of teachers in the field of curriculum design, the latter being one of the most relevant strategies for effective training. Since in our country the empirical-experimental culture in education is not broadly widespread, we believe that training of teachers, both initial and in-service, is in need of a renovation in order to be more related to the everyday practice of teaching.
