Abstract

Defining teachers' work styles from an organizational rather than an educational point of view, the present study focuses on their abilities to manage their time and professional projects and on exploring a training strategy of developing those skills. The research has been carried out on a small sample of students in teacher training programs (undergraduate and graduate level) participating in a 11 weeks training project focused on exercising and self evaluating progress. The comparison between pretest and post test measures of time and project management abilities has demonstrated a significant improvement of these skills.
