The Laboratory of Experimental Pedagogy and School Evaluation is part of the educational activities of Experimental Pedagogy. The Laboratory aims to promote the skills and abilities of students in the field of learning path evaluation and assessment, especially in relation to transversal skills evaluation.
The specific objectives of the Laboratory are as follows:
- develop technical-practical knowledge in the field of experimental pedagogy and school assessment
- acquire knowledge in the field of ministerial regulations for school assessment and evaluation;
- analyse assessment tools competencies according to ministerial regulations;
- designing learning paths for primary schools aimed at promoting pupils' transversal competences.
Through the Laboratory of Experimental Pedagogy and School Evaluation, students will be able to:
in terms of Knowledge and understanding:
- Knowledge of the main school evaluation and assessment tools;
- Knowledge of the most important ministerial regulations for school assessment and evaluation;
- Knowledge of the main theoretical foundations of Experimental Pedagogy.
In terms of Applying knowledge and understanding:
- Ability to design specific assessment and evaluation tools for primary school context;
- Ability to design evaluation tools for the promotion of transverse skills for primary school context.
In terms of Making judgements:
- Ability to design education project in the field of Experimental Pedagogy and School Evaluation;
- Ability to formulate judgements on learning assessment and evaluation tools, taking into consideration the INVALSI test and other international investigations on students assessment;
In terms of Communication skills:
- Ability to present the main characteristics of learning evaluation tools for primary school pupils in an orderly and reasoned way;
- Ability to critically expose the analyses carried out between different learning evaluation tools.
In terms of Learning skills:
- Willingness to explore the perspectives of Experimental Pedagogy and School Evaluation in educational research context.

The Laboratory will provide each lesson with a first part in which the teacher will provide students with some basic theoretical and practical references with respect to the topics covered by the teaching program and then a second part of work in groups in which students will be engaged in the practical and effective exploration of what will be gradually discussed in the lesson, engaging in a project work on the assessment of skills. In addition to classroom meetings, a virtual laboratory space has also been activated on the Formonline platform, conceived as an extension of the classroom and of the hours of activity in the classroom, through which to keep track of the didactic and exercise activity that will be conducted together in the classroom during the lessons and at the same time to share additional tools and materials to support and for an in-depth study of the issues covered. The online channel is a tool strictly connected to the lessons for the interaction between students-teacher and students-students, in order to build a repository of materials useful for the learning process and workprojects of the laboratory.Type of evaluation
The project work carried out in the group work of the laboratory will be the subject of evaluation of the skills built by the students with attendance at the Laboratory of Experimental Pedagogy and School Evaluation
