This chapter presents the results of the research The development of cognitive and non-cognitive skills in Trentino students conducted on middle school students in the PAT. The research is based on a first survey carried out in May-June 2018 on eighth-grade students of the current school year (2017-2018), aimed at assessing the impact of NCS on CS and the effectiveness of activities implemented in the 2015-2018 school years with the aim of improving the level of NCS. The survey was conducted on more than 5,000 youth, i.e., the total number of students in 58 schools in Trentino who were in the eighth grade in 2017-2018. A second survey was then conducted based on two interviews, in December 2018 and May-June 2019, of eighth-grade students from the 2018-2019 school year ine- rence the outcome on NCS of educational programs prepared ad hoc as part of the research. After a brief review of the literature that echoes what was said in the first part of the volume and presents the most relevant research in the international landscape pertaining to the links between NCS and CS (para. 1), the research project initiated in 2017 for schools in the PAT is described (para. 2). Particular emphasis is placed on the criteria used to construct of the database, obtained by matching INVAL- SI data, PAT administrative data, and a direct survey of the student sample (par. 3). Paragraph 4 describes the statistical methodology applied, while paragraph 5 reports results and comments. Finally, the conclusions highlight further developments of the research findings, in terms of both educational systems analysis and policy (par. 6). The description of the ways in which, starting with the information obtained from the questionnaires administered during the research, the NCS considered in the analysis were found and quantified, and the educational programs to improve them were chosen, is given in the appendices.
Il capitolo presenta i risultati della ricerca Lo sviluppo delle competenze cognitive e non cognitive negli studenti trentini effettuata sugli studenti delle scuole medie della PAT. La ricerca si basa su una prima indagine svolta nel maggio-giugno 2018 su studenti di terza media dell’anno scolastico in corso (2017-2018), volta a valutare l’impatto delle NCS sulle CS e l’efficacia di attività realizzate negli anni scolastici 2015-2018 con lo scopo di migliorare il livello delle NCS. L’indagine è stata svolta su oltre 5.000 giovani, ossia l’insieme degli studenti delle 58 scuole trentine che nel 2017-2018 frequentavano la terza media. Si è poi svolta una seconda indagine basata su due interviste, in dicembre 2018 e nel maggio-giugno 2019, su studenti di terza media dell’anno scolastico 2018-2019 ine- rente l’esito sulle NCS di programmi educativi predisposti ad hoc nell’ambito della ricerca. Dopo una breve ripresa della letteratura che riprende quanto detto nella prima parte del volume e che presenta le ricerche più rilevanti nel panorama internazionale inerenti i legami tra NCS e CS (par. 1), si descrive il progetto di ricerca iniziato nel 2017 per le scuole della PAT (par. 2). Particolare enfasi viene posta sui criteri di costruzione del database, ottenuto mediante matching di dati INVAL- SI, dati amministrativi della PAT e un’indagine diretta sul campione di studenti (par. 3). Il paragrafo 4 descrive la metodologia statistica applicata, mentre nel paragrafo 5 sono riportati risultati e commenti. Infine, le conclusioni evidenziano gli sviluppi ulteriori dei risultati della ricerca, in termini sia di analisi dei sistemi educativi che di policy (par. 6). La descrizione delle modalità con cui, a partire dalle informazioni ottenute dai questionari somministrati durante la ricerca, sono state rilevate e quantificate le NCS considerate nell’analisi e scelti i programmi educativi atti a migliorarle viene riportata nelle appendici.

The survey was conducted on more than 5,000 youth, i.e., the total number of students in 58 schools in Trentino who were in the eighth grade in 2017-2018.
