Hansol Woo – ProQuest LLC, 2021
Teacher leadership (TL) research has often failed to investigate equity and social justice as well as to consider national contexts and cultural differences. This study examines the relationship between TL and student achievement while investigating the moderating role of TL on the association between school poverty and student achievement in two…

Borgonovi, Francesca; Han, Seong Won; Greiff, Samuel – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2023
Effective collaborative problem solving comprises cognitive dimensions, in which men tend to outperform women, and social dimensions in which women tend to outperform men. We extend research on between-country differences in gender gaps by considering collaborative problem solving and its association with two indicators of societal-level gender…

Xu, Kate M.; Cunha-Harvey, Anna Rita; King, Ronnel B.; de Koning, Bjorn B.; Paas, Fred; Baars, Martine; Zhang, Jingjing; de Groot, Renate – Compare: A Journal of Comparative and International Education, 2023
Research on grit indicates that perseverance positively predicts academic achievement. Yet, the mechanisms through which perseverance might lead to academic success remain less explored, particularly in cross-cultural research. The current study investigated such mechanisms by examining possible mediating effects of students' use of self-regulated…

Hanushek, Eric A.; Kinne, Lavinia; Lergetporer, Philipp; Woessmann, Ludger – National Bureau of Economic Research, 2020
Patience and risk-taking -- two cultural traits that steer intertemporal decision-making -- are fundamental to human capital investment decisions. To understand how they contribute to international differences in student achievement, we combine PISA tests with the Global Preference Survey. We find that opposing effects of patience (positive) and…

This paper compares the learning gain over one year of schooling among 15-year-old students in Austria and Scotland (United Kingdom). Common metrics for reading, mathematics and science learning, as established by the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), are used. In order to overcome the limitations of a cross-sectional,…

Hanushek, Eric A.; Piopiunik, Marc; Wiederhold, Simon – Education Next, 2019
Student achievement varies widely across developed countries, but the source of these differences is not well understood. One obvious candidate, and a major focus of research and policy discussions both in the United States and abroad, is teacher quality. Research and common sense tell that good teachers can have a tremendous impact on their…

Stankov, Lazar; Lee, Jihyun; von Davier, Matthias – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2018
We examine construct validity of the anchoring method used with 12 noncognitive scales from the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2012 project. This method combines individuals' responses to vignettes and self-rated scores based on Likert-type items. It has been reported that the use of anchoring vignettes can reverse…

Early years are a critical period for skill development. In this sense, the Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) programmes have an important role in promoting children's learning during this period. This study aimed to explore the effectiveness of ECEC programmes by analysing the relationship between students' ECEC attendance and their later…

Lam, Kelly Ka Lai; Zhou, Mingming – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2022
This review examined the relations between grit and academic achievement based on a meta-analysis of 137 studies yielding 156 dependent samples (N = 285,331). Using the robust variance estimation, we found that the correlations of overall grit level with academic achievement were generally weak to moderate (weighted r = 0.19). The correlation of…

Park, Seoyeon; Weng, Wenting – Educational Technology & Society, 2020
This study examined how information and communications technology (ICT) related factors and country-level economic status influence student academic achievement. Two-level structural equation modeling was employed to investigate both student-level and country-level variables, using the PISA 2015 data of ninth-grade students across 39 countries.…

Tan, Cheng Yong; Liu, Dian – Compare: A Journal of Comparative and International Education, 2018
The present study compared the contribution of familial cultural capital to the reading achievement of 116,508 15-year-old students who participated in PISA 2012 in six Confucian heritage cultures (CHCs) and nine non-CHCs with comparable educational and economic development. The different states of cultural capital examined comprised…

Every society invests enormous resources to ensure that children grow up with the skills, knowledge, and values that will enable them to be successful.

Lu, Yi; Bolt, Daniel M. – Large-scale Assessments in Education, 2015
In this paper, we consider a two-level multidimensional item response model that examines country differences in extreme response style (ERS) as a possible cause for the achievement-attitude paradox in PISA 2006. The model is an extension of Bolt & Newton (2011) that uses response data from seven attitudinal scales to assess response style and…
