Lo studio presenta il processo di costruzione e validazione della scala delle Concezioni Valutative degli Insegnanti (CoVI), progettata per rilevare le concezioni degli insegnanti di scuola primaria e secondaria relative alle finalità della valutazione degli apprendimenti degli studenti. Il campione di validazione è costituito da 1.545 docenti in servizio, distribuiti su tutto il territorio nazionale. La scala CoVI, sottoposta ad analisi fattoriale esplorativa e confermativa, presenta buone proprietà psicometriche e si compone delle seguenti dimensioni: valutazione come accountability (Acc), valutazione come accertamento dei risultati di apprendimento (AoL), valutazione come miglioramento dell’insegnamento e degli apprendimenti (AfL), valutazione come autoregolazione e sostenibilità dell’apprendimento (AaL). Lo strumento colma una lacuna nell’ambito degli strumenti disponibili nel settore, poiché è in grado di mettere a fuoco le specificità dei diversi approcci valutativi, compresi l’AaL e il sustainable assessment, che sono stati meno esplorati empiricamente.
