Comparing Learning Outcomes - International Assessment and Education Policy (Hardcover)

National education systems are under increasing pressure not only to demonstrate effectiveness through results, but also to compare favourably with those of other countries. New forms of assessment and evaluation, that are internationally comparative, have therefore come to be a major influence upon the development of education policy.

Comparing Student Achievement brings together reports of cross-national research into a range of key education issues, including gender difference in achievement and improving literacy. Written by researchers from eleven different countries, these accounts illustrate how international comparative assessment has moved away from being an academic research exercise to become a vital tool in the shaping and implementation of education policy. The accounts offer clear guidance on conducting different forms of international comparative research and valuable suggestions for new directions in such research.
