Spaull, Nic – Assessment in Education: Principles, Policy & Practice, 2019
New evidence presented in this paper shows that existing accounts of Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) in developing countries underestimate both progress and inequality because they do not take into account the large proportion of 15-16-year olds who are ineligible for the PISA sampling frame, primarily due to dropout or…

Gender differences in reading seem to increase throughout schooling and then decrease or even disappear with age, but the reasons for this are unclear. In this study, we explore whether differences in the way "reading literacy" is operationalised can add to our understanding of varying gender differences in international large-scale…

When evaluating inequalities researchers tend to focus on one particular aspect and often use composite measures when evaluating…

Nagy, Gabriel; Nagengast, Benjamin; Frey, Andreas; Becker, Michael; Rose, Norman – Assessment in Education: Principles, Policy & Practice, 2019
Position effects (PE) cause decreasing probabilities of correct item responses towards the end of a test. We analysed PEs in science, mathematics and reading tests administered in the German extension to the PISA 2006 study with respect to their variability at the student- and school-level. PEs were strongest in reading and weakest in mathematics.…
