The Sources Of The Evidence, Petra Lietz

Dr Petra Lietz

In this chapter, the data collected from two large international studies conducted by the IEA, namely the 1970-71 Reading Comprehension Study and the 1990-91 Reading Literacy Study ample have been described. Information gathered in eight countries that participated in both studies at itudy. the 14-year-old level, namely Belgium (French), Finland, Hungary, Italy, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden and the U.S., constitute the body of data under consideration. This international evidence is used in the present study in the search for general structural and causal models of reading comprehension that apply across countries. On the one hand, the two studies share …

Curriculum Provision In Rural Secondary Schools, Phil Mckenzie, Ross Harrold, Andrew Sturman

Dr Phillip McKenzie

This book investigates various views, including those that say students in rural secondary schools are disadvantaged by comparison with urban students, and that rural and remote schools are excessively expensive to operate. Using qualitative materials derived from case studies of schools in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria, together with qualitative analyses of recent, detailed information collected by schools, the authors provide evidence that rural and remote schools provide a curriculum directly comparable with urban schools, and that students (regardless of differences of gender or social grouping) are better served in the quality of their educational experience than many have …

International Comparative Research In Education, Petra Lietz

Dr Petra Lietz

Internationally comparative research in education which is aimed at investigating the relationships and processes that explain possible differences between educational systems has so far relied on the replication of the same analysis using different data sets. Patterns of results from these analyses have allowed for the examination of differences, uniquenesses or similarities of the way in which factors operated in various countries. However, it has not been possible to test the extent to which effects varied across countries. Recent technological and methodological advances have made it possible to move beyond replication to the systematic and rigorous testing of structural and …

In Search Of General Structural Models For Reading Comprehension Across Countries Using Simultaneous Analysis, Petra Lietz

Dr Petra Lietz

The previous chapter focused on the application of simultaneous analysis to investigate structural models of reading comprehension. Results of the simultaneous analysis of data sets from eight countries and on two occasions showed that it was consistent with the evidence to assume a general factor underlying the ability to read with comprehension at the 14-year-old level. Hence, it can be argued that reading comprehension beyond the initial stages involves a general ability that is similarly structured across cultures and across time. As a consequence, it is meaningful and of considerable interest to compare levels of reading achievement and examine the …

School Focused Professional Development And The Interaction Of Teachers, Elizabeth Hartnell-Young

Dr Elizabeth Hartnell-Young

This study is concerned with school focused professional development in Fairhills High School. Data from teachers in the school has been analysed in order to provide a basis for planning a professional development program in the light of government initiatives. In particular, the study analyses the communication patterns within the school in an attempt to ascertain the extent of collaboration which occurs between teachers, and the factors which influence professional interaction. Recommendations for professional development at Fairhills High School are based on discussion of the data. In addition, the study suggests implications for all schools. The results reported in this …

The Move Beyond Replication: What Are Its Benefits, Petra Lietz

Dr Petra Lietz

Results presented in this monograph have emphasized that analytical efforts should seek to apply techniques that are appropriate to the structure of the available data. Moreover, the application of simultaneous and conjunct analyses across countries has illustrated that the use of appropriate techniques does contribute important information to the understanding of educational phenomena that would not necessarily be revealed by the analysis of data within a particular country. In this way, the present study has shown that internationally comparative research can provide useful explanations of phenomena involving educational outcomes as well as the processes influencing such outcomes. In summary, the …

Gender Differences In Reading Comprehension Across Countries, Petra Lietz

Dr Petra Lietz

In this chapter, hierarchical linear modeling is applied to investigate possible gender differences in reading achievement. First, a two-level hierarchical linear analysis is undertaken for each country on each occasion separately. This application of analysis serves to examine the robustness of relationships among variables and to prepare for the subsequent conjunct analysis in which gender differences across countries are examined. The results of the analyses provide evidence with respect to (a) differences in the reading comprehension of female and male students within countries, (b) differences in the reading comprehension of mainly female and mainly male instructional groups within countries; (c) …

International Comparisons Through Simultaneous And Conjunct Analysis: A Search For General Relationships Across Countries, Petra Lietz

Dr Petra Lietz

The results presented here indicated that it was not unreasonable to assume that factor loadings and factor correlations should be invariant across the eight countries. When item uniquenesses were set to be invariant, a decrease in fit according to the RNI and TLI was observed. The PRNI, in contrast, showed the highest value for the model in which invariance was assumed for all parameters in the model. The overall superiority of the no invariance model, however, suggests that while the parcels and items which were used to form indicators demonstrate consistently high loadings on their respective factors across all groups, …

Changes In Reading Comprehension Across Cultures And Over Time, Petra Lietz

Dr Petra Lietz

Two internationally comparative studies of reading were conducted by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), namely the Reading Comprehension Study in 1970/71 and the Reading Literacy Study in 1990/91. Eight educational systems participated in both studies at the 14- year-old level, namely Belgium (French), Finland, Hungary, Italy, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden, and the United States of America. The information on student, teacher, and school variables that were common to both studies provided the core evidence used for analysis in this thesis. The major results are described. A general factor, reasoning, could be identified as pertaining …

Review Of Statistical Data For Research On Vocational Education And Training, Gerald Burke, Phil Mckenzie, Aija Grauze

Dr Phillip McKenzie

This review was prompted by rapid changes in the vocational education and training (VET) sector, the introduction of new data collections relating to VET, and initiatives to expand and focus research on VET. The Australian National Training Authority Research Advisory Council (ANTARAC) established a working group to examine existing databases and to advise on the data needed to underpin emerging VET research priorities. The review involved consideration of VET policy concerns, the major statistical data collections, a survey of and interviews with researchers who are extensive data users, the data problems in four major research areas, and discussions on developments …
