This book explores the often controversial international
large-scale assessments (ILSAs) in education and offers
research-based accounts of international testing as a social
practice. Assessment exercises, such as the Organisation for
Economic Co-operation and Development's Programme for International
Student Assessment (PISA), produce comparable international
statistics and rankings on educational performance, and are
influential practices that shape educational policy on a global
scale. The chapters in this volume, written by expert researchers
in the field, take the reader behind the scenes to document a broad
range of ILSA practices - from the recruitment of countries into
ILSAs, to the production and performance of large-scale testing,
and the management, media reception and use of test data. Based on
data that is only available to expert researchers with inside
access, the international case study material includes examples
from Australia, Ecuador, Germany, Japan, Mexico, Norway, Russia,
Scotland, Slovenia, Sweden, the UK and the USA. The volume provides
important insights for teachers, researchers and policy-makers who
use and study assessment data and who wish to evaluate its
significance for educational policy and practice.
