Description
Summary:After the investigation on students' perception towards the laboratory activities, presented at GIREP-MPTL International Conference 2014 (Marocchi & Serio 2015), we conducted a new analysis concerning the aspects of support and enhancement of the teaching activity in laboratory. We investigate i) how students prepare the laboratory activities, ii) the importance of the presence of teacher, technicians, tutors throughout the entire laboratory process, iii) the usefulness and ease of use of the informatics instrumentation. This second phase involves first year students during the academic year 2015/16. Results of questionnaires highlight the importance of teaching methods used, as well as of all the professional figures involved during the educational laboratory experience.
