Method of laying out data in some kind of table or spreadsheet
Article states that the data were analyzed using a "griglia di rilevazione". A search on Google gives many hits, many of them from universities describing their courses. A search of these hits indicates that the "griglia" (grid) is a table or spreadsheet. But why not use "tabella" / "foglio elettronico" (table / spreadsheet)? Is there something special, a special term?

data collection grid / grid for data collection
but... analyzed or collected? in my own experience, una griglia di rilevazione is normally a simple sheet prepared in a grid format, or as a table if you want, to be filled in with data while collecting them. once collection is done, you can count and you have the number of this at the end of a certain row (and/or column) and the number of that on the end of another, and so on. but your text says "data were analyzed", and this sounds strange to me. if "analyzed" is correct, then "griglia di rilevazione" might be not. and viceversa. hth

Comment: "Since there is no additional information in the document, apart from the statement that the grid was used to survey (= collect data from) existing documents as part of a larger analysis, I think this fits the picture reasonably well. What was confusing to me was its use by so many Italian schools to set out their courses. We would call that a chart or table. "

survey form
These are usually forms used for surveys. You could just call them forms. Obviously, once they are filled in they are tables.
Note from asker:
| Good response, except that it is more general than I would like. You deserve 3-4 points in any case. |
