DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Cristina Davino (Dipartimento di Scienze economiche 
 e statistiche -)\nThe diagnosis of the a-priori weaknesses of students bas
 ed on their features and past experience (e.g. age\, sex\, type of diploma
 ) together with the features of the social context represents one of the p
 reliminary assessment activities that can be taken into consideration so a
 s to define different typologies of students and then develop a tailored l
 earning programme for each student group. This paper is based on the study
  of a specific aspect of the school-leaving student's ability\, namely mat
 hematical skills. It is a matter of fact that the results of several asses
 sment exercises show that the mathematical knowledge of students leaving s
 econdary school is becoming worse and worse. The aim of the paper is to ev
 aluate if and how the socio-demographic features of students impact on the
 ir mathematical ability. Exploiting data of the INVALSI tests and the pote
 ntialities of quantile regression we will also explore if this impact is d
 ifferent in case of observed or unobserved heterogeneity of the student po
 pulation.\n\nhttps://indico.unina.it/event/60/contributions/640/
