Assessment of Reading in International Studies
Editat de Jenny Lenkeit, Knut Schwipperten Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 dec 2020
Some chapters focus on technical aspects, exploring opportunities for drawing causal inferences from the data, and investigating biases originating in distributional scale properties. Others are of a more conceptual nature, addressing changes in the relevance of socio-economic indicators across time and countries, examining the exposure of mother-tongue and English instruction on performance and investigating the effects of test construction on gender difference.
The discussion takes a much-needed meta-perspective on the usefulness of international large-scale assessments for educational research and allows reflection upon possibilities and opportunities for their improvement. This book was originally published as a special issue of Assessment in Education.

Introduction – Doing research with international assessment studies: methodological and conceptual challenges and ways forward 1. Addressing omitted prior achievement bias in international assessments: an applied example using PIRLS-NPD matched data 2. Distributional properties of the PIRLS-home resource for learning scale and observed effects on reading achievement: are measurements of educational inequalities by latent indices without bias? 3. Configurations of multiple disparities in reading performance: longitudinal observations across France, Germany, Sweden and the United Kingdom 4. Understanding language in education and grade 4 reading performance using a ‘natural experiment’ of Botswana and South Africa 5. Can test construction account for varying gender differences in international reading achievement tests of children, adolescents and young adults? – A study based on Nordic results in PIRLS, PISA and PIAAC 6. Improving international assessment through evaluation
