Associate Professor in Education (M-PED/04) since 2017.
My current research interests relate Documentation and Quality of ECEC and school, Integrated system 0-6 years old, and Alternative education.
I teach Quality organization and Evaluation (Italian), Models and Tools for School Assessment (Italian), and Early childhood and school evaluation for quality education (English).
I’m trying to deepen the facets of the school system, keeping together the topic of assessment and evaluation with the methodologies, the preservice and in-service teachers’ training, the quality models, and the homeschooling phenomena.
In the last five years, I have investigated ECEC and the ongoing building of an integrated system for children from 0 to 6 years old. I visited nurseries and kindergartens abroad (Berlin, Aachen, Vilnius) and am participating in two work groups about “pedagogical territorial coordination” in Padova and Rovigo. I am part of the Nursery and Childhood National Group Committee (GNNI), and I have the opportunity to meet many nursery educators and kindergarten teachers all over the country and colleagues from other Universities.
I am involved in the Data Child Map project (with Prof. Raffaghelli), which examines the uses (and abuses) of technologies that encompass privacy issues, manipulation, and surveillance during the early stages of life. The perspective is one of the Italian context, particularly emphasising the Veneto region. https://datachild.fisppa.it/home
I am a member of the Ph.D. Program in Pedagogical and Education Sciences (SPEF) and Responsible for International Mobility at the Primary Education Degree. I am a referee for some national and international Academic Journals. Already an Academic visitor in Germany, Spain, England, and Romania, I am a member of some scientific societies: BERA (British Educational Research Association), GNNI (Gruppo Nazionale Nidi e Infanzia), SIPED (Italian Pedagogical Society), SIRD (Italian Educational Research Society).
Teacher Education representative for Unipd in the project (2020-21) Measuring and Comparing Achievements of Learning Outcomes in Higher Education in Europe – Phase 2 (CALOHE2), TUNING Academy – Univ. Groeningen, NL.
I collaborated on the research project “Evaluating the Impact of the Infant Toddler Centers and Preschools on Children: The Reggio Approach” (James J. Heckman, University of Chicago) for the city of Padova (September-November 2016, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6052802/) and was a member of the Padova Unit of “GenderTime (Transferring, Implementing, Monitoring, Equality) funded by FP7 Science in Society (2013-2016).
I was formerly focused on digital narrative documentation and design and assessment in nurseries (2010-2018).
2010-2017: Researcher in Education (M-PED/04).
2000-2010: music teacher in the lower secondary school with workshop experiences in kindergarten and primary schools. I focused for a short period on music history education and the relationship between cinema and music education. Now I sing in some choirs as alt.
Master’s Degree in Education Sciences (2001), and PhD in Pedagogical and Education Sciences (2007) at the University of Padova. Qualification degree in special needs education, secondary school (University of Venice, 2008). Degree in Piano (1994) and Music Education (1996).

Research Area

ASSESSMENT FOR LEARNING
GRiFoVA (Gruppo di Ricerca e Formazione per la Valutazione e l'Apprendimento - Research and Training Group for Assessment and Learning) is composed of lecturers and researchers from the FISPPA Department(Philosophy, Sociology, Pedagogy and Applied Psychology) of the Padova University, and teachers from primary and secondary schools in the Veneto Region.
Professors Valentina Grion and Emilia Restiglian coordinate the group.
GRiFoVA was established in June 2017 with the primary aim of investigating the topic of assessment in schools through empirical research in connection with the school context and with teachers. There are currently three in-depth focuses being researched: Peer Evaluation, the focus on Differences in Evaluation Processes, and the construction of evaluation and self-evaluation environments.
Since 2023, I have started a working group dealing with peer feedback in pre-schools, on which a paper was presented at the EECERA 2023 conference.

CONSTRUCTION OF AN INTEGRATED EDUCATION SYSTEM FROM BIRTH TO SIX YEARS (territorial pedagogical coordination, initial education policies, and models, continuous education)

QUALITY OF THE SCHOOL AND INTEGRATED SYSTEM (school evaluation, teacher evaluation, school effect, school effectiveness, national and international surveys)

HOMESCHOOLING (models and good practices, interaction with the national school system)

Thesis proposals
