Le configurazioni organizzative dell'alternanza scuola-lavoro in Italia

The essay wonders about the implementation of the School–Work Alternance in Italy in the four years following the enactment of l. 107/2015, before the guidelines related to the reformulation of ASL provided by Law 145 in 2018. The discussed data were collected by a sample survey conducted through an interview with a questionnaire (CAWI), addressed to school representatives of SWA in Italy. The basic hypothesis is that the type of relationship between schools and the organisations involved in the ASL projects may shape up to be not only according to the mere opposition between the resistance to change and the acceptance of the idea that secondary education should be geared more towards meeting the needs of the labour market. The research is exploratory and requires further development; however, the survey results lead to the identification of four possible different SWA configurations, one of which is characterised by school–driven innovation and another is based on the integration of the former with other organisations.
