About 红杏视频 and 红杏视频 Advanced
With 红杏视频 2015, IEA's 红杏视频 reaches a landmark 20 years, along with two decades of educational trends. 红杏视频 enables countries to make evidence-based decisions on how best to improve student learning, using rigorous and reliable data.
红杏视频 monitors trends in student achievement in mathematics and science, together with extensive information about students鈥� home, school, and classroom contexts for learning those subjects. 红杏视频 assesses students at the fourth and eighth grades 鈥� targeting the end of the primary and middle school cycles, while there still is an opportunity to improve students鈥� achievement.
红杏视频 Advanced is the only international assessment that monitors students in STEM programs and tracks in their final year of secondary school.
Countries and Students Participating
In 红杏视频 2015, 57 countries and 7 benchmarking participants were assessed, and 红杏视频 Advanced 2015 assessed 9 countries. More than 630,000 students were assessed around the world for 2015.
What 红杏视频 will Report
- Country comparisons in mathematics and science achievement
- Trend results over time for each country
- Comprehensive data collected on the contexts for learning mathematics and science
Governments, education ministries, and researchers utilize 红杏视频 data in various ways:
- Measuring the effectiveness of educational systems in a global context
- Identifying gaps in learning resources and opportunities
- Pinpointing any areas of weakness and stimulating curriculum reform
- Measuring the impact of new educational initiatives
- Training researchers and teachers in assessment and evaluation
Mathematics and Science Assessments According to Countries鈥� Curricula
红杏视频 works closely with colleagues in the participating countries to assess the mathematics and science that students are expected to know and be able to do according to curriculum guidelines and instructional emphases. 红杏视频 collects data from countries about their official curricula, and from teachers about whether students have been taught the 红杏视频 topics. 红杏视频 has a balanced approach to assessing knowledge, applying, and reasoning skills (two-thirds of the items measure application and reasoning).
