Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diane Shorrocks-Taylor School of Education, University of Leeds,UK In September 1998, a conference was held at the University of Leeds entitled ‘International comparisons of pupil performance: issues and policy’. It was arranged by two groups within the School of Education at the University, the newly formed Assessment and Evaluation Unit and the Centre for Studies in Science and Mathematics Education. Thejoint interest in international comparisons of performance had itself arisen from earlier involvement in a follow-up study of the 1995 TIMSS work in England, reported in a later chapter in this book, in which the TIMSS assessment outcomes were studied alongside the outcomes from the National Curriculum testing programme in England. Some of the results of this investigation had proved both interesting and challenging so the decision was made to promote wider discussion of some key issues by inviting contributors from all over the world to a meeting the major aims of which were to promote an exploration of : - the theoretical foundations of international comparative studies of student performance; - the practical problems of carrying out such studies; - the appropriateness of the assessment models and approaches used in international comparisons; - the role of international comparative studies in raising standards of student performance; - and how international studies affect the shaping of national policy on education.

Book excerpt: This paper is designed to be a layperson's primer on sources for and factors to consider in making sense of comparative performance measures of postsecondary education. It is not meant to present a comprehensive discussion about all aspects of international comparisons, nor does this paper diagnose the state of U.S. postsecondary performance in the world. The material presented here is designed to give a short overview of some major headlines, with information about the issues underlying several of the measures. The report discusses factors to consider in making sense of international comparisons, including data sources, definitions, and differences in degree or certificate structures and classification systems. Some of the more commonly cited indicators are presented, in the categories of educational performance (that is, measures by enrolment, retention, and attainment data); production of scientists and engineers; finances; spending on science and technology; student mobility and international enrolments; and international rankings of institutions. The report suggests questions to ask when working with the data and includes a listing of some of the major sources of international comparative data. [p.vii, ed].

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1960's, the United States has participated actively in international projects that are designed to provide key information about the performance of the U.S. education system relative to education systems in other countries. With the long-term growth in the trade of goods and services in the global economy, policymakers have turned to international comparisons to assess how well national systems of education are performing. These comparisons shed light on a host of issues, including access to education, equity of resources, and outcomes such as education attainment and performance on standardised tests. This book provides the opportunity to compare different aspects of countries' education systems, assess these systems' performance, and identify potential strategies to improve student achievement and system outputs.

Download or read book International Comparisons of China’s Technical and Vocational Education and Training System written by Zhenyi Guo and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-07-03 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China is experiencing an unprecedented phenomenon: breakneck industrialization on a scale and at a pace not seen before. It is trying to achieve in just a few decades what Western nations took more than a century to do. The arrival in the country’s cities of tens of millions of rural dwellers, at most semi-skilled, has put huge strain on the country’s system of vocational education, known as TVET. How have the Chinese authorities and their education administrators responded? Is China’s TVET system adapting to the rapidly evolving needs of its industry? Using the province of Yunnan as a subject, this detailed case study is a closely argued and sanguine analysis of the operation of TVET in China. The authors deployed a set of internationally comparable criteria to offer a searching assessment of current performance, at the same time documenting areas of strength and weakness. The question the authors’ methodology answers is how well China’s TVET system is performing compared to technical and vocational education structures in other countries. In fact, they discover that in Yunnan, a province representative of the challenges faced nationwide, much has indeed been done, from a wholesale overhaul of programs to make them relevant to industry requirements, to major investment in infrastructure. Teacher training has been reformed, and take-up of professional master’s and doctoral courses has been encouraged. Joint initiatives with bodies such as UNESCO have improved training and vocational education at high school level. While there is a strong international history of such comparative evaluations, which are essential for policy makers to benchmark their administration, few studies have included China despite the enormous amount of value that can be learned from that country’s experience. This work will provide vital material for researchers, governments and development agencies alike.
