Abstract

In Italy the standardized evaluation is always very lively debated, especially during the period of administration of INVALSI tests within the schools. To map the opinions and the beliefs published in the mainstream press and on the main websites and to follow the trend over time of these an exploratory survey was carried out. Therefore, we considered a large sample of articles and videos in the period 2012-2018. The results are presented in this work and provide an interesting food for thought to identify communication strategies to improve the relationship between school and standardized tests.
