Gabriella Colajanni; Alessandro Gobbi; Marinella Picchi; Alice Raffaele; Eugenia Taranto – INFORMS Transactions on Education, 2024
In this paper, we continue describing the project and the experimentation of "Ricerca Operativa Applicazioni Reali" (ROAR; in English, Real Applications of Operations Research), a three-year project for higher secondary schools, introduced. ROAR is composed of three teaching units, addressed to Grades 10, 11, and 12, respectively, having…

Silvia Galano; Lucio Palazzo; Italo Testa – International Journal of Science Education, 2024
Astronomy is seen as a "gateway" science, inspiring students to pursue Science-Technology-Engineering-Mathematics (STEM) related careers. However, there is little evidence that students' attitudes towards astronomy remain stable over time. By integrating Self-Determination Theory (SDT) and Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), we identified…

Barana, Alice; Boetti, Giulia; Marchisio, Marina – Education Sciences, 2022
Self-assessment, in the education framework, is a methodology that motivates students to play an active role in reviewing their performance. It is defined as "the evaluation or judgment of 'the worth' of one's performance and the identification of one's strengths and weaknesses with a view to improving one's learning outcomes". The goal…

Agnoli, Franca; Melchiorre, Francesca; Zandonella Callegher, Claudio; Altoè, Gianmarco – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Many studies have found that males, on average, perform better than females in mathematics, although the size of this gender gap is small and varies considerably across countries. Stereotype threat has been proposed as a principal cause of this gender gap. From this perspective, females' performance is affected by fear of confirming a negative…

Ferrarello, Daniela; Mammana, Maria Flavia; Taranto, Eugenia – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2020
A classroom activity for high-school students, aiming at introducing space geometry from plane geometry has been introduced back in 2009 by Mammana, Margarone, Micale, Pennisi and Pluchino (2009a). The activity was based on the use of a Dynamic Geometry System and of the analogy between figures. Several aspects of the activity have been studied in…

Tasquier, Giulia; Levrini, Olivia; Dillon, Justin – International Journal of Science Education, 2016
The scientific community has been debating climate change for over two decades. In the light of certain arguments put forward by the aforesaid community, the EU has recommended a set of innovative reforms to science teaching such as incorporating environmental issues into the scientific curriculum, thereby helping to make schools a place of civic…

Bellettini, Carlo; Lonati, Violetta; Malchiodi, Dario; Monga, Mattia; Morpurgo, Anna; Torelli, Mauro; Zecca, Luisa – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2014
This article describes the state of informatics education in the Italian secondary schools, highlighting how the learning objectives set up by the Ministry of Education are difficult to meet, due to the fact that the subject is often taught by teachers not holding an informatics degree, the lack of suitable teaching material and the expectations…

Mason, Lucia; Pluchino, Patrik; Tornatora, Maria Caterina; Ariasi, Nicola – Journal of Experimental Education, 2013
This study investigated the online process of reading and the offline learning from an illustrated science text. The authors examined the effects of using a concrete or abstract picture to illustrate a text and adopted eye-tracking methodology to trace text and picture processing. They randomly assigned 59 eleventh-grade students to 3 reading…

Oppedisano, Veruska; Turati, Gilberto – Education Economics, 2015
This paper provides evidence on the sources of differences in inequality in educational scores and their evolution over time in four European countries. Using Programme for International Student Assessment data from the 2000 and the 2006 waves, the paper shows that inequality decreased in Germany and Spain (two "decentralised" schooling…
