Niehues, Wenke; Kisbu-Sakarya, Yasemin; Selcuk, Bilge – Educational Psychology, 2020
Turkey is an interesting context to study the applicability of the Expectancy-Value-Theory (EVT), since it is a less well-studied research context with a highly selective, centralised, and competitive education system and a more collectivistic-orientated population. In such a context, well-established factors known to drive students' achievement,…

Tienken, Christopher – AASA Journal of Scholarship & Practice, 2014
Pundits and bureaucrats use the results from international tests, particularly the PISA, to make claims about the quality of the public education system in the United States and make policy recommendations. In this article I argue, with evidence, that the scores and rankings from PISA are not important and that they cannot give policy makers or…
