(Tutor: Prof.Giuliano Vivanet, Dott.ssa Marta Pellegrini )

I am a Primary school teacher and a Ph.D. student in Philosophy, Epistemology, and Human Sciences at the University of Cagliari. I obtained a Master’s degree in Primary Education at the University of Florence in 2015. Since then, I have worked in primary schools, developing a particular interest in the Evidence-Based Education (EBE) approach. Therefore, my research interests the development and evaluation of educational practices and programs with strong evidence of effectiveness (‘what works under what circumstances’). Supervised by Profs. Giuliano Vivanet and Marta Pellegrini, my research project concerns effective practice to prevent school dropout (i.e., ESL or Early School Leaving). In particular, my work aims at discovering what has been experimented in the prevention of this phenomenon, synthesising the empirical research results. An ESL prevention program designed from both scientific evidence and analysis of the school context will be planned, implemented, and evaluated.
