eBook 정보
By examining longitudinal data and international assessments like PISA and TIMSS, the book analyzes academic achievement trends across various national systems.
Interestingly, simplistic interpretations of test scores can be misleading; a nuanced understanding requires considering contextual factors and methodological limitations.
The book emphasizes that educational policies based on inaccurate interpretations of these scores may lead to ineffective interventions.
The book unfolds systematically, beginning with methodological challenges in comparing academic achievement across nations.
It then examines trends in reading, mathematics, and science literacy.
For example, the book explores how changes in curricula correlate with observed performance trends.
A key focus is the relationship between educational equity and overall performance, highlighting how disparities impact student subgroups.
Ultimately, School Performance Trends synthesizes findings to offer practical recommendations for improving educational systems and promoting equitable outcomes.
This interdisciplinary approach connects educational research with sociology, economics, and public policy, making it valuable for researchers, policymakers, and educators interested in understanding and addressing educational trends and social inequalities.
