Abstract

This study discusses an evaluation model carried out in vocational training contexts and draws from a line of studies that have analyzed the processes of meaning construction according to a semiotic and contextual perspective (Freda, 2011; Freda & De Luca Picione, 2014; Salvatore & Freda, 2011; Salvatore & Venuleo, 2008; Valsiner, 2007).
