Translation And National Adaptations Of Iccs 2009 Instruments, Barbara Malak, Alana Yu, Wolfram Schulz, Tim Friedman
Translation And National Adaptations Of Iccs 2009 Instruments, Barbara Malak, Alana Yu, Wolfram Schulz, Tim Friedman
Dr Tim Friedman
In close collaboration with the participating countries, the international study center (ISC) developed an international English version of the ICCS assessment and questionnaires. These materials were subsequently translated and adapted by countries to their languages of instruction. Throughout this translation and adaptation process, the overarching aim was to create high-quality instruments that were internationally comparable yet also appropriate to each country’s national context and education system. The ICCS instruments were administered in 31 languages, the most common being English and Spanish. Even when the language of testing was English, adaptations were still required to suit the cultural setting and the …

Iccs Questionnaire Development, Wolfram Schulz, Bruno Losito, David Kerr
Dr Wolfram Schulz
This chapter describes the development of the International Civic and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS) international questionnaires for students, teachers, schools, and national research centers. The student questionnaire was designed to measure both learning outcomes and contextual information. The teacher questionnaire was designed to gather teacher perspectives on the general school and community environment, teaching methods, and civic and citizenship education. School principals were asked to report on the school context for learning, on school characteristics, including school climate, as well as aspects of civic and citizenship education at their schools. An online questionnaire for national research coordinators (NRCs)—the national contexts …

This paper describes a plausible values imputation approach for deriving population scores on several language proficiency domains. The approach harnessed a multi-dimensional item response analysis combining student responses, rater judgements and student background variables. The target population was grade one and grade two primary school students enrolled in the Hong Kong schooling system. The raters were local teachers of English employed within the sampled schools. The primary objective of this research was to impute plausible values for data where no data was provided or where rater data was deemed suspect. By necessity, a secondary objective of this study was to …
The Timss 1999 Video Study And Its Relevance To Australian Mathematics Education Research, Innovation, Networking, And Opportunities., Hilary Hollingsworth
The Timss 1999 Video Study And Its Relevance To Australian Mathematics Education Research, Innovation, Networking, And Opportunities., Hilary Hollingsworth
Dr Hilary Hollingsworth
Results from the mathematics portion of the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) 1999 Video Study, comparing videotaped Year 8 mathematics lessons from seven countries, were released in March 2003. This paper presents selected findings from that study, with a focus on those results that might be of particular interest to Australian educators. In addition, the paper considers ways in which the results and products from this study can make a lasting contribution to the field of mathematics education. Three areas are described: the innovation associated with the study's 'video survey' research methodology; the networking possibilities for mathematics educators …

Assessing Principals' Interpersonal Behaviour, John Cresswell, D Fisher
Dr John Cresswell
In the past 25 years much attention has been given to the development and use of instruments to assess the qualities of the classroom and school environment from the perspectives of students and teachers. This paper describes the development and validation of an instrument, the Principal Interaction Questionnaire, to measure principals' interpersonal behaviour in a school. The instrument was based on the Questionnaire on Teacher Interaction, which was first devised in The Netherlands and contains eight scales of measurement such as Leadership and Understanding. The questionnaire was sent to 60 schools throughout Australia where it was completed by the principal …

Conjoint Analysis: A Study Of The Effects Of Using Person Variables, John Fraas, Isadore Newman
John W. Fraas
Three statistical techniques -- conjoint analysis, a multiple linear regression model, and a multiple linear regression model with a surrogate person variable -- were used to estimate the relative importance of five university attributes for students in the process of selecting a college
