Teachers are essential in the learning process: at first, they are facilitators, thanks to their emphatic abilities, expert in building successful and fruitful relationships and in creating a context of cooperation, in order to promote a harmonious development of each student and a peaceful learning environment.
This book collects some paper submitted during the V edition of the Seminar "INVALSI data: a tool for teaching and scientific research" and talks about the training of teachers.
Papers collected in this book are a limited and non-exhaustive example of the utility of INVALSI data. Year by year, the catalogue of the open-access series "INVALSI PER LA RICERCA" has been greatly enriched as a further confirmation of a worthwhile mutual dialogue between academics and school actors. As Statistical Service we hope this partnership could last and may generate many other research works.
