Theme
Promoting the use of INVALSI data for scientific research and teaching.
Dal 29 novembre all’1 dicembre 2019 si terrà a Roma il Seminario “I dati INVALSI: uno strumento per la ricerca e la didattica”. Lo scopo di questo appuntamento, arrivato alla quarta edizione, è quello di promuovere lʼutilizzo dei dati INVALSI nella ricerca scientifica e nella didattica. I dati raccolti annualmente dallʼIstituto costituiscono un prezioso strumento per indagare le caratteristiche del sistema scolastico e per definire gli eventuali interventi di sostegno o potenziamento. Tutti i soggetti interessati sono invitati a presentare lavori di ricerca che utilizzano dati INVALSI.

- concise: each sentence should be maximally informative, include in the abstract only four or five of the leading concepts, observations or implications; do not include bibliographic references.
The abstract of an empirical study should describe:
- the problem under investigation, possibly in one sentence;
- the participants;
- the essential characteristics of the experimental method;
- the main results.
The abstract of a methodological paper should describe:
- the field of application;
- the essential features of the proposed method;

Accomodation
When, while the lovely valley teems with vapour around me, and the meridian sun strikes the upper surface of the impenetrable foliage of my trees, and but a few stray gleams steal into the inner sanctuary, I throw myself down among the tall grass by the trickling stream; and, as I lie close to the earth, a thousand unknown plants are noticed by me: when I hear the buzz of the little world among the stalks, and grow familiar with the countless indescribable forms of the insects and flies, then I feel the presence of the Almighty.
