Assessing Maths Literacy: Learning From The Pisa Experience, Ross Turner
Assessing Maths Literacy: Learning From The Pisa Experience, Ross Turner
Ross Turner
A new book that draws on ACER’s work on one of the world’s largest international surveys is providing educators with important insights about how assessment can be used to improve learning outcomes.
The 'Literacy' Idea, Ross Turner
The 'Literacy' Idea, Ross Turner
Ross Turner
A central reason why researchers and practitioners refer to domain literacy is to draw attention to the kinds of things students learn in the domain. In a traditional learning domain the focus might be on the acquisition of discrete facts, skills and procedures that have little obvious connection or utility. In a learning domain with a literacy orientation, the focus is on applying the domain’s facts, skills and procedures to support creativity and inventiveness, to solve novel problems and to deal with the kinds of challenges that life presents outside the classroom. In the case of mathematics, for example, a …
Described Proficiency Scales And Learning Metrics, Ross Turner
Described Proficiency Scales And Learning Metrics, Ross Turner
Ross Turner
We see the process of educational measurement as one of defining dimensions of educational progression and locating learners on those dimensions. Such dimensions are variously referred to as proficiency scales or learning metrics. When we measure something using a scale we can express how much of a given attribute is possessed by that something. We use a scale of centimetres or inches to describe the length of an object. We use a scale of hours and minutes to describe an amount of time. This is also the case for educational measurement: when we measure proficiency in a subject area we …

In 2012, the Ministry of Education, Afghanistan, engaged the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) as a partner to support the development of a national learning assessment program in Afghanistan. To achieve this goal, the Learning Assessment unit of the Ministry of Education and ACER have collaborated to design and implement the Monitoring Trends in Educational Growth (MTEG) program in Afghanistan. MTEG is designed as a long-term monitoring program with one focus on trends in achievement outcomes in single class levels over time, and another focus on the growth of achievement in cohorts throughout the school cycle, from Class 3 …

Some Drivers Of Test Item Difficulty In Mathematics : An Analysis Of The Competency Rubric, Ross Turner, Ray Adams
Ross Turner
This paper is concerned with the empirical validation of the competency rubric described in another paper presented at the same conference: Turner, Ross (April 2012). Some drivers of test item difficulty in mathematics. Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Educational Research Association (AERA), Vancouver, 13-17 April 2012 http://research.acer.edu.au/pisa/4/
Using items developed for the PISA 2012 survey, and data collected as part of an extensive field trial of the PISA tasks conducted during 2011 in some 67 countries, the authors use multidimensional Rasch modelling and latent regression to examine the following three questions: 1. What is the …

Some Drivers Of Test Item Difficulty In Mathematics, Ross Turner
Ross Turner
This paper is one of four contributions to the symposium session at the AERA’s 2012 Annual Meeting titled Exploring Reading and Mathematics Item Difficulty: Teaching and Learning Implications of PISA Survey Data. The author presents a rubric used to analyse mathematics test items developed for use in the OECD’s PISA survey. The rubric focuses on a set of mathematical competencies that are components of mathematical literacy. The work on which this report is based suggests that demand for activation of these competencies functions as a significant driver of item difficulty, which potentially has implications for the teaching and learning of …
