Luis Alejandro Lopez-Agudo; Claudia Prieto Latorre; Oscar David Marcenaro-Gutierrez – Educational Assessment, Evaluation and Accountability, 2024
There is a wide debate on the convenience of grade retention for students' future cognitive development. Nevertheless, due to the endogenous characteristics of grade retention to explain students' academic performance, most of the literature fails in capturing its actual influence. In the present research, we intend to get as close as possible to…

Gerard Ferrer-Esteban; Marcel Pagès – Educational Assessment, Evaluation and Accountability, 2024
Based on the theoretical approaches of social capital and institutional trust, this paper seeks to identify contextual factors and conditions behind teacher behaviours which aim to alter the results of standardised tests in the Italian low-stakes accountability system. Numerous studies report significant factors associated with student cheating,…

Cherry Zin Oo; Dennis Alonzo; Ria Asih; Giovanni Pelobillo; Rex Lim; Nang Mo Hline San; Sue O'Neill – Educational Assessment, Evaluation and Accountability, 2024
Viewpoints on different assessment systems used in many educational bureaucracies are diverse and continually evolving. Schools are tasked with translating those reforms' philosophies and principles into school-based assessment practices. However, it is unclear from research evidence what approach and factors best support the implementation of…

Paulina Contreras; Eduardo Santa Cruz; Jenny Assaél; Evelyn Palma; Natalia Albornoz; M. Beatriz Fernández; Jesús Redondo – Educational Assessment, Evaluation and Accountability, 2024
Accountability policies through standardized testing are widespread in diverse educational systems. Based on an ethnographic research study, we sought to understand how a learning assessment policy, used for over three decades in primary and lower secondary education, is lived and interpreted in daily school life in Chile. This article analyzes…

Mark White; Kirsti Klette – Educational Assessment, Evaluation and Accountability, 2024
Scores from observational measures of teaching have recently been put to many uses within school systems, including communicating a standard of practice and providing teacher feedback, identifying teachers for professional development, monitoring system equity, and making employment decisions. In each of these uses, observation scores are…

Margarita Pivovarova; Audrey Amrein-Beardsley – Educational Assessment, Evaluation and Accountability, 2024
In this study, we estimated the relationship between two popular measures of teacher effectiveness--teachers' value-added model (VAM) estimates, represented in this study via median growth percentiles (MGPs), and teachers' observational scores, derived from the TAP System for Teacher and Student Advancement. We examined the relationship between…

Kevin Proudfoot – Educational Assessment, Evaluation and Accountability, 2024
This article examines a national policy of performance-related pay for teachers in the educational context of England, as understood in relation to the concept of New Public Management. Using a mixed methods approach employing surveys and in-depth interviews, the article considers the perspectives of working teachers, thus engaging directly with…

Huiming Ding; Innocent Tasara – Educational Assessment, Evaluation and Accountability, 2024
The increasing concerns of the impact of the Programmes for International Student Assessment (PISA) on education policymaking along with its global reach call for the need of evaluating PISA's impact on student learning. However, most extant studies focus on arguing its impact at the policy level, without taking a further look into it at the local…

Dennis Alonzo; Val Quimno; Geraldine Townend; Cherry Zin Oo – Educational Assessment, Evaluation and Accountability, 2024
The use of information and communication technology-based data systems to support teachers in data-driven decision-making (DDDM) remains limited. Despite the growing number of data systems available, their uptake remains limited, and there is a limited understanding of what data system characteristics increase and factors that influence teacher…

Kseniia Marcq; Johan Braeken – Educational Assessment, Evaluation and Accountability, 2024
Gender differences in item nonresponse are well-documented in high-stakes achievement tests, where female students are shown to omit more items than male students. These gender differences in item nonresponse are often linked to differential risk-taking strategies, with females being risk-averse and unwilling to guess on an item, even if it could…

Umut Atasever; John Jerrim; Sabine Tieck – Educational Assessment, Evaluation and Accountability, 2024
Cross-national comparisons of educational achievement rely upon each participating country collecting nationally representative data. While obtaining high response rates is a key part of reaching this goal, other potentially important factors may also be at play. This paper focuses on one such issue--exclusion rates--which has received relatively…

Linda Borger; Stefan Johansson; Rolf Strietholt – Educational Assessment, Evaluation and Accountability, 2024
PISA aims to serve as a "global yardstick" for educational success, as measured by student performance. For comparisons to be meaningful across countries or over time, PISA samples must be representative of the population of 15-year-old students in each country. Exclusions and non-response can undermine this representativeness and…

Andrés Christiansen; Rianne Janssen – Educational Assessment, Evaluation and Accountability, 2024
In international large-scale assessments, students may not be compelled to answer every test item: a student can decide to skip a seemingly difficult item or may drop out before the end of the test is reached. The way these missing responses are treated will affect the estimation of the item difficulty and student ability, and ultimately affect…

Sabine Meinck; Jörg-Henrik Heine; Julia Mang; Gabriel Nagy – Educational Assessment, Evaluation and Accountability, 2024
This study uses evidence from a longitudinal survey (PISA Plus, Germany) to examine the potential of bias in international large-scale assessments (ILSAs). In PISA Plus, participation was mandatory at the first measurement point, but voluntary at the second measurement point. The study provides evidence for relevant selection bias regarding…
