Abstract
This paper examines the measures taken by the Italian Government to enhance the digitalcompetencies of pre-service and in-service teachers so as to promote educational innovation in Italy’s schools. The study discusses these measures within the framework of TPACK (Technology, Pedagogy and Content Knowledge), a model that outlines the knowledge domains underpinning teaching/learning processes in which technology plays a substantial role. The results show that, in spite of the wellestablished international conversation around TPACK, the Italian education system has not yet officially adopted this model, either for pre-service or for in-service teacher training. At the same time, however, anumber of government actions have actually paved the way towards possible adoption of the model itself, both from a theoretical and a methodological point of view.
