LOSITO BRUNO
(syllabus)
The course will utilize a series of lectures and a workshop (36 and 18 hours in duration respectively).
The lectures will focus on the historical benchmarks and theoretical framework for testing and assessment techniques (docimology) and evaluation research, with particular reference to adult competencies.
The criteria for designing and arranging micro and macro-level survey researches will be illustrated and discussed, with a view to the basic features of evaluation validity and reliability, as well as to the construction of data collection tools.
The characteristics and the findings of the major national and international research studies on adult competencies will be presented and discussed. Beginning from the definition of key competencies, at European and international levels, the emphasis will be on the methodology used in this type of research studies.
The workshop will mainly focus on technical issues related to evaluation methodology, criteria and procedures, in a lifelong learning perspective. Students will not only participate in, but will also engage in applying both docimological principles and techniques and descriptive statistics to the analysis of major findings on adult literacy provided by international comparative surveys (ALL, PIAAC).
