Get_Invalsi_IS {SchoolDataIT}

Download the Invalsi census survey data

Description

Downloads the full database of the Invalsi scores, detailed either at the municipality or province level. The format is intermediate between long and short, since the numeric variables are:

• Average_percentage_score Average direct score (percentage of sufficient tests)

• Std_dev_percentage_score Standard deviation of the direct score

• WLE_average_score Average WLE score. The WLE score is calculated through the Rasch's psychometric model and is suitable for middle and high schools in that it is cleaned from the effect of cheating (which would affect both the average score and the score variability). By construction it has a mean around 200 points.

• Std_dev_WLE_score Standard deviation of the WLE score. By construction it ranges around 40 points at the school level.

• Students_coverage Students coverage percentage
