A new version of the AMOS 8-15 test, graphically revised and enriched with case studies and scoring: battery of evaluation and self-assessment of the study skills, cognitive styles and motivational components of students aged 8 to 15 years. The battery allows you to recognize the strengths and weaknesses of your pupils’ study strategies, and to initiate activities aimed at promoting effective study methods to support the motivation components linked to learning processes.

The battery consists of easy-to-use tools for evaluating the different aspects involved in study, self-regulation, strategic awareness, beliefs, attributions, cognitive abilities, etc., and is aimed at teachers, educators, school psychologists, psycho- pedagogists and parents of children aged 8 to 15. The battery of tests can be administered in full or individually, depending on the strategic components of learning that are being considered and evaluated.

EOT Platform – Erickson Online Tests
The volume includes free access to the EOT – Erickson Online Tests platform, a dedicated digital environment with a guided procedure that supports the user from the administration of the tests, to the scoring and the final report.

School assessment tools and tests
The series, with the scientific direction of Cesare Cornoldi and Luigi Predabissi, proposes tests and tools which, alongside the ease of administration, present an in-depth theoretical elaboration, rigor in standardization and description of the reference standards and solid psychometric properties. It has been developed for the school context and includes tools that can be used not only by professionals in the clinical-health area, but also by teachers and professionals in the educational field, to bring out difficulties or excellence in specific areas.
