Dr Petra Lietz
he influence of large-scale group score assessments on research, policy, and practice in education has increased dramatically over the past few decades. The goal of this chapter is to provide an overview of the value and scope of this program of research. The chapter begins by providing an overview of the history of large-scale assessment. Next, it focuses on current research and development surrounding the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP, a government-mandated assessment in the United States) and the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA, a large-scale survey and assessment commission by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, …

The Relationship Between School Resources And Grade 8 Mathematics Achievement: A Comparison Of Palestinian Authority, Israeli Hebrew And Israeli Arab Schools In Timss 2007, Yasin Afana, Petra Lietz, Mollie Tobin
The Relationship Between School Resources And Grade 8 Mathematics Achievement: A Comparison Of Palestinian Authority, Israeli Hebrew And Israeli Arab Schools In Timss 2007, Yasin Afana, Petra Lietz, Mollie Tobin
Dr Petra Lietz
The relationship between school resources such as learning materials, computers, and student-teacher ratio and student performance has been shown to be important. In this article, school resources and their relationship with student achievement are compared for Israeli and Palestinian Authority (PA) schools using data from the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement’s (IEA) 2007 Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) in the context of eff orts aimed at reducing the differences in resources in schools in Israel. Results of bivariate analyses show some differences regarding the availability of school resources between the three groups of schools …
On The Use Of Rotated Context Questionnaires In Conjunction With Multilevel Item Response Models, Petra Lietz
On The Use Of Rotated Context Questionnaires In Conjunction With Multilevel Item Response Models, Petra Lietz
Dr Petra Lietz
While rotated test booklets have been employed in large-scale assessments to increase the content coverage of the assessments, rotation has not yet been applied to the context questionnaires administered to respondents. This paper describes the development of a methodology that uses rotated context questionnaires in conjunction with multilevel item response models and plausible values. In order to examine the impact of this methodology on the continuity of the results, PISA 2006 data for nine heterogeneous countries were rescaled after having been restructured to simulate the outcomes of the use of different rotated context questionnaire designs. Results revealed negligible differences when …
