Formare alla valutazione fuori dall’accademia in Italia: una ricostruzione e qualche (prima) riflessione

This paper addresses non-academic training in evaluation with a two-fold perspective. The first one will focus on the reconstruction of a map of the existing training offer in Italy. This map, updated at September 2022, will propose an overview of the existing courses in terms of both main features (e.g.: duration, structure, providers) and macro-contents. The second perspective will match the results of this analysis with the profile, overall and by competences, of the Expert in Evaluation of Policies, Pro-grammes, Projects and Institutions as defined by the Italian Evaluation So-ciety (A.I.V.). This match intends to explore the correspondence between the courses and the A.I.V. proposal. In such a way, an attempt will be made, on the one hand, to contextualize the courses with respect to A.I.V. evaluator’s profile and competences and, on the other hand, to do the same with A.I.V. profile in relation to evaluation courses. Finally, some recommendations will be proposed on the basis of the evidence pro-duced by the analysis.

Parole chiave:Training; Courses; Evaluation; Competences; Knowledge; Evaluator.
