Education Expenditure In Australia, James Mahmud Rice, Daniel Edwards, Julie Mcmillan
Dr Daniel Edwards
Australia invested $111.8 billion in education in 2015. The sources of this funding and the pathways it follows through various systems are complex. Rarely are all the components of this system captured in the one place. This report offers a detailed insight into investment in Australian education, capturing data from all levels – from early childhood to higher education – and all funding sources – the federal government, state governments, private contributions and the transfers that take place between these. The complex picture shown in this report offers an important reference point for policy-makers, educators, researchers and economists. It draws …

The Influence Of Equating Methodology On Reported Trends In Pisa, Eveline Gebhardt, Ray Adams
The Influence Of Equating Methodology On Reported Trends In Pisa, Eveline Gebhardt, Ray Adams
Prof Ray Adams
In 2005 PISA published trend indicators that compared the results of PISA 2000 and PISA 2003. This paper explores the extent to which the outcomes of these trend analyses are sensitive to the choice of test equating methodologies, the choice of regression models and the choice of linking items. To establish trends, PISA equated its 2000 and 2003 tests using a methodology based on Rasch Modelling that involved estimating linear transformations that mapped 2003 Rasch-scaled scores to the previously established PISA 2000 Rasch-scaled scores. This paper compares the outcomes of this approach with an alternative, which involves the joint Rasch …
The Impact Of Differential Investment Of Student Effort On The Outcomes Of International Studies, J Butler, Ray Adams
The Impact Of Differential Investment Of Student Effort On The Outcomes Of International Studies, J Butler, Ray Adams
Prof Ray Adams
International comparative assessments of student achievement, such as Trends in Mathematics and Science (TIMSS) and Programme for International Student Achievement (PISA) are becoming increasingly important in the development of evidence-based education policy. The potentially far-reaching influence of such studies underscores the need for these assessments to be valid and reliable. In education, increasing recognition is being given to motivational factors which impact on student learning. This research considers a possible threat to the validity of such studies by investigating the influence the amount of effort invested by test-takers has on their outcomes. Reassuringly, it is found that the reported expenditure …
