In questo lavoro si presenta un’integrazione di un modello adattativo per la stima delle abilità in matematica su larga scala implementato nell’ambito di una ricerca della Sapienza. Oltre a ricordare le caratteristiche di questo tipo di prova e i vantaggi che presenta rispetto a quelle lineari, come la maggiore precisione della stima per ogni studente indipendentemente dal suo livello di abilità, si illustra un modello automatico di feedback connesso alla prova stessa e i risultati di letteratura che mostrano come modelli simili siano notevolmente apprezzati dagli studenti, nell’ambito sia della valutazione formativa sia di quella sommativa. Il modello è strutturato in accordo con i principali risultati di ricerca sul feedback e potrebbe essere per i docenti uno strumento essenziale per la valutazione formativa, l’individuazione di misconcezioni o errori sia dei singoli sia della classe. Merita osservare che l’uso di modelli adattativi è generalmente connesso all’attenzione all’equità del sistema.

Abstract
This paper will present an integration of an adaptive model for the estimation of ability in mathematics implemented as part of a consortium research project of Sapienza University. In addition to recalling the characteristics of this type of test and the advantages it has over linear tests, such as the greater precision of the estimation for each student regardless of his or her ability level, an automatic feedback model connected to the test itself will be illustrated, as well as the results from the literature that shows how similar models are appreciated by students, in formative and summative assessment. The model is structured in accordance with the main research results on feedback and it could be an essential schools' tool for formative assessment, the detection of misconceptions or errors of individuals and groups of students. The use of adaptive models is connected to the focus on equity in the system.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
