For the conduct of this research a questionnaire was elaborated and filled in by a group of teachers who attendet the program. The investigative questions regarded:
a) The extent of the relation between the reasons the educators have for attending the program and their social and symbolic asset, b) To what extent did the “Assimilation” program for positive or negative views to the participants.
The findings showed that the teachers of the sample admit an academic and cognitive inadequacy related to the original two - year studies in the Pedagogical Academies and believe that the participation in the “Assimilation” program is a relativety effective way to cover this deficiency and restore their social and symbolic image.
