Book excerpt: The Southeast Asia Primary Learning Metrics (SEA-PLM) is a regional assessment which aims to set a common approach to assessing learning outcomes at primary Grade 5 students. SEA-PLM is a set of assessment and survey instruments for the Southeast Asian region. Designed to be a system level monitoring tool of educational quality and equity, SEA-PLM covers four domains including mathematics, reading and writing and global citizenship. The assessment also includes background questionnaires that gather key data from students, parents, teachers and school principals. A key feature of the SEA-PLM assessment is that it has been developed on the basis of an Assessment Framework that is specially developed to suit the context of ASEAN and SEAMEO Member Countries. The report begins by outlining the purpose and features of SEA-PLM and then describes the work already undertaken as part of the SEA-PLM field trials including some of the lessons learnt throughout this process. The second part of the report outlines the key findings from the field trial phase and next steps. The final section of the report provides a set of recommendations for SEA-PLM as it moves into the main survey phase. The report is intentionally brief so that it can act as a key summary of program activities and next step plans for the SEA-PLM initiative. [Executive summary, ed]
Book Synopsis Primer on Large-Scale Assessments of Educational Achievement by : Marguerite Clarke
Download or read book Primer on Large-Scale Assessments of Educational Achievement written by Marguerite Clarke and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2021-06-08 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To improve their education systems, countries around the world have increasingly initiated national largescale assessment programs or participated in international or regional large-scale assessment studies for the first time. Well-constructed large-scale assessments can provide credible information on student achievement levels, which, in turn, can promote better resource allocation to schools, stronger education service delivery, and improved learning outcomes. The World Bank developed this Primer on Large-Scale Assessments of Educational Achievement as a firststop resource for those wanting to understand how to design, administer, analyze, and use the results from these assessments of student achievement. The book addresses frequently asked questions from people working on large-scale assessment projects and those interested in making informed decisions about them. Each chapter introduces a stage in the assessment process and offers advice, guidelines, and country examples. This book also reports on emerging trends in large-scale assessment and provides updated information on regional and international large-scale assessment programs. DIRK HASTEDT, Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA) “A special feature of the publication is that it not only gives an overview of technical specifications, but also includes examples from around the world on how countries are conducting large-scale assessments, what they found, and how the results were used. With this perspective, the Primer on Large-Scale Assessments of Educational Achievement is an excellent and easy-to-read publication to get a comprehensive overview of large-scale assessments and how and why they are conducted.†? SILVIA MONTOYA, Director of UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UNESCO UIS) “If you are responsible for learning assessment in a country and are searching for a comprehensive, yet readable, guide on large-scale assessment, this is your book. Extremely well structured and written, this primer is easy to follow, and makes points clearly and concisely. It is an excellent resource that explores the steps for a good large-scale assessment with examples from all international large-scale assessment programs.†? ANDREAS SCHLEICHER, Director for the Directorate of Education and Skills and Special Advisor on Education Policy to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s (OECD) Secretary- General “Many countries have joined international educational assessments to benchmark quality, equity, and efficiency in their education systems. But what does it take to design and implement those efforts well and to draw value from this to help students learn better, teachers teach better, and schools to work more effectively? This Primer on Large-Scale Assessments of Educational Achievement helps policy makers and their technical teams to find answers to these questions.†? ANDREI VOLKOV, Director of the Institute for Public Strategy, Moscow School of Management SKOLKOVO “In 2008, when the Russia Education Aid for Development (READ) Program was launched, we determined its main goal as the improvement of the quality of basic education. Today, the READ Program keeps setting trends as the largest Russian initiative promoting educational assessment. Approaches developed within the READ Program, from building institutional and expert capacity to influencing educational reforms, have proven their efficacy in many countries. The Primer on Large-Scale Assessments of Educational Achievement brings together in a practical format the best experience and case studies in conducting assessments under the READ Program. An especially important feature of the book is an integrated capacity building component, which makes it a practical tutorial ready for use in different cultural contexts. Through this book, we hope that our collective experience gathered during READ will be widely shared, bringing us closer to achievement of the Sustainable Development Goal on education.†? evelopment Goal on Education.†?

Book Synopsis Education in Cambodia by : Vincent McNamara
Download or read book Education in Cambodia written by Vincent McNamara and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-05-14 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the most comprehensive account yet published about the education system in Cambodia. It covers all system levels and draws upon the knowledge and insights of a wide range of leading Cambodian and foreign scholars. The book focuses on how the system has developed and is making progress. Significant achievements over the past two decades are evident, but many problems remain, including the poor quality of teaching, research and institutional management. Under-funding is an ongoing obstacle, but so too is a bureaucratic culture of resistance to change, a history of weak governance, and an anti-reform sentiment deriving from a teacher-centred and exam-driven curriculum. Achieving international standards must now be the system’s highest priority. To this end, the system must rid itself of conservatism, complacency and manipulation by parochial vested interests.
Book Synopsis International Handbook of Comparative Large-Scale Studies in Education by : Trude Nilsen
Download or read book International Handbook of Comparative Large-Scale Studies in Education written by Trude Nilsen and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-09-21 with total page 1518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook is the first of its kind to provide a general and comprehensive overview of virtually every aspect of International Large Scale Assessment (ILSA). It includes historical, economic, and policy perspectives, theoretical foundations, methodology, and reviews of findings from analyses of ILSA data. After decades, during which ILSAs have generated knowledge within central areas of education research and gained increased and substantial impact on educational policy, practice and research, such a broad overview for a wide-ranging audience is much needed. With contributions from authors and editors from all continents, this handbook appeals to an international audience and keeps a neutral perspective, not favoring one ILSA over another. The handbook is suitable to be read by politicians, researchers and stakeholders who are seeking an overview of ILSAs, their history and development, and both potential benefits and limitations with regard to policy implications. The reviews of findings from studies analyzing ILSA data will be of interest to stakeholders, teachers, researchers, and policymakers. Considering that the reviews extend to all fields pertaining to educational research, the book will be valuable to all researchers interested in education. Students may use the book to learn about ILSAs in the context of policy, theoretical underpinnings, or research. Moreover, the methodology section is written in a manner that is understandable and accessible for students, stakeholders, or researchers not familiar with these data. This methodology part, however, is also a valuable resource for researchers who are familiar with ILSA data, as it provides overviews of the design and sampling procedures of several ILSAs, and includes advice on methods of analysis.Even the owners of the ILSAs may find the book valuable, as it contains overviews and insights into a number of ILSAs, provides information how the data is used by the research community, and includes recommendations for future instruments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Countries in middle-income East Asia and the Pacific were already experiencing serious learning deficits prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-related school disruptions have only made things worse. Learning poverty -- defined as the percentage of 10-year-olds who cannot read and understand an age-appropriate text -- is as high as 90 percent in several countries. Several large Southeast Asian countries consistently perform well below expectations on adolescent learning assessments. This report examines key factors affecting student learning in the region, with emphasis on the central role of teachers and teaching quality. It also analyzes the role education technologies, which came into widespread use during the pandemic, and examines the political economy of education reform. The report presents recommendations on how countries can strengthen teaching to improve learning and, in doing so, can enhance productivity, growth, and future development in the region.

Book Synopsis Manuel pour les évaluations à grande échelle des acquis scolaires by : Marguerite Clarke
Download or read book Manuel pour les évaluations à grande échelle des acquis scolaires written by Marguerite Clarke and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2023-06-30 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Des pays du monde entier se sont lancés dans de grandes évaluations nationales ou ont participé pour la première fois à de grandes évaluations régionales ou internationales dans le but d’améliorer leur systèmed’éducation. Lorsque les évaluations sont bien conçues, les informations crédibles qu’elles f ournissent au sujet de la performance des élèves peuvent contribuer à mieux répartir les ressources entre les établissements et à améliorer la qualité de l’enseignement et le rendement de l’apprentissage. Les services de la Banque mondiale ont rédigé le présent Manuel pour les évaluations à grande échelle des acquis scolaires dans le but de proposer un guide complet à ceux qui veulent en apprendre davantage sur la conception et l’administration de ce type d’évaluations et sur l’analyse et l’utilisation de leurs résultats. Cet ouvrage répond à des questions que se posent souvent les équipes chargées de grandes évaluations et les responsables politiques qui souhaitent prendre des décisions les concernant en toute connaissance de cause. Chaque chapitre aborde une étape du processus d’évaluation, prodigue des conseils, propose des orientations et donne des exemples de ce qui se fait dans des pays. Par ailleurs, cet ouvrage décrit les nouvelles tendances qui se dessinent dans les grandes évaluations et donne des informations à jour sur de grandes évaluations régionales et internationales. DIRK HASTEDT, Directeur exécutif de l’Association internationale pour l’évaluation du rendement scolaire (IEA) « Ce qu’il y a d’unique dans cet ouvrage, c’est qu’en plus de passer des spécifications techniques en revue, il donne des exemples de la façon dont des pays du monde entier administrent des évaluations à grande échelle, en tirent des enseignements et en utilisent les résultats. En ce sens, ce Manuel pour les évaluations à grande échelle des acquis scolaires est un excellent guide pratique à consulter pour obtenir une vue d’ensemble des grandes évaluations et mieux comprendre comment et pourquoi les administrer. » SILVIA MONTOYA, Directrice de l’Institut de statistique de l’UNESCO (ISU) « C’est l’ouvrage idéal pour les responsables d’évaluations scolaires à la recherche d’informations complètes, mais lisibles, sur le sujet. Il est extrêmement bien rédigé et parfaitement structuré, de sorte qu’il est facile à consulter et que tous les aspects y sont décrits clairement et avec concision. C’est l’ouvrage de référence par excellence pour tous ceux qui veulent explorer les étapes à enchaîner pour mener une grande évaluation, d’autant qu’il foisonne d’exemples sur toutes les grandes évaluations internationales. » ANDREAS SCHLEICHER, Directeur de la Direction de l’éducation et des compétences et conseiller spécial du Secrétaire général, chargé de la politique de l’éducation, de l’Organisation de coopération et de développement économiques (OCDE) « De nombreux pays ont décidé d’administrer des évaluations internationales pour comparer la qualité, l’équité et l’efficience de leur système d’éducation à des normes de référence. Mais retirent-ils vraiment de leurs efforts de planification, d’administration et d’analyse de quoi aider les élèves à mieux apprendre, les enseignants à mieux enseigner et les établissements à travailler plus efficacement ? Ce Manuel pour les évaluations à grande échelle des acquis scolaires aidera les responsables politiques et leurs équipes techniques à répondre à ces questions. » ANDREI VOLKOV, Directeur de l’Institut de stratégie publique, École de gestion de Moscou SKOLKOVO « En 2008, c’est en grande partie dans l’objectif d’améliorer la qualité de l’enseignement fondamental que le Fonds fiduciaire de l’assistance russe à l’éducation pour le développement (READ) a été créé. Le Fonds continue de donner l’exemple, c’est d’ailleurs la plus grande initiative russe visant à promouvoir l’évaluation des acquis scolaires. Les approches conçues à l’aide du Fonds, que ce soit celles visant à renforcer les capacités institutionnelles et spécialisées ou à orienter les réformes de l’éducation, ont prouvé leur efficacité dans de nombreux pays. Le Manuel pour les évaluations à grande échelle des acquis scolaires rassemble sous un format pratique les meilleures études de cas au sujet des évaluations à grande échelle. Cet ouvrage a un atout particulièrement important, celui de proposer un système intégré de renforcement des capacités, de sorte que c’est un guide pratique, facile à utiliser dans des contextes culturels différents. Nous espérons que cet ouvrage contribuera à faire connaître largement l’expérience collective rassemblée par le Fonds et nous rapprochera de la réalisation de l’objectif relatif à l’éducation dans le Programme de développement durable. »

Book Synopsis OECD Development Pathways Multi-dimensional Review of Lao PDR Financing Sustainable Development by : OECD
Download or read book OECD Development Pathways Multi-dimensional Review of Lao PDR Financing Sustainable Development written by OECD and published by OECD Publishing. This book was released on 2024-06-06 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR) has made significant headway on its development path over the past three decades. The country’s sustained economic growth has been led by booming commodity exports and substantial inflows of external financing. Many Laotians have seen significant improvements in their well-being. Poverty has declined as household income has increased, and many important development goals in education and health have been achieved. In the face of macroeconomic challenges, a shift from commodity-driven growth to a more inclusive prosperity paradigm that emphasises the creation of broad-based opportunities, human capital development and green sustainability can unlock Lao PDR’s future development. This report presents priorities for overcoming the country’s current fiscal constraints and finding ways to fund this shift. Recommendations address strengthening Lao PDR’s sustainable finance and debt management, revenue generation and tax reform, investment promotion, and data capacity in order to tap into green finance mechanisms.
