Valutazione sotto esame : una ricerca empirica nella scuola primaria e secondaria di primo grado della Regione Calabria

This research, aimed at primary and lower secondary school educators teaching in the Calabria region, investigated any potential change in the teachers' beliefs and attitudes towards school assessment. More specifically, the questionnaire was developed around 7 main themes: the types of do cimological tools used; the quality of training and continuous professional development; the functions of assessment adopted in practice; students' self assessment: tools and methods; the spread or lack of common sense; how recent innovations have been perceived. Thus, it was an important opportunity, to test the extent, if any, to which the docimological behavior required from a school that addresses the entire population and made official by the italian legal framework of recent decades has changed.

The survey is connected to the complex issue of the initial and continuing training of teachers, being aware that a different approach to training in comparison to the abstract and transmissive model is oriented towards the real school challenges faced by teachers every day. [Publisher's text].
