This volume brings together educational effectiveness research and international large-scale assessments, demonstrating how the two fields can be applied to inspire and improve each other, and providing readers direct links to instruments that cover a broad range of topics and have been shown to work in more than 70 countries. The book’s initial chapters introduce and summarize recent discussions and developments in the conceptualization, implementation, and evaluation of international large-scale context assessments and provide an outlook on possible future developments. Subsequently, three thematic sections – “Student Background”, “Outcomes of Education Beyond Achievement”, and “Learning in Schools” – each present a series of chapters that provide the conceptual background for a wide range of important topics in education research, policy, and practice. Each chapter defines a conceptual framework that relates recent findings in the educational effectiveness research literature to current issues in education policy and practice. These frameworks were used to develop interesting and relevant indicators that may be used for meaningful reporting from international assessments, other cross-cultural research, or national studies. Using the example of one particular survey (the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA 2015)), this volume links all theoretical considerations to fully developed questionnaire material that was field trailed and evaluated in questionnaires for students and their parents as well as teachers and principals in their schools. The primary purposes of this book are to inform readers about how education effectiveness research and international large-scale assessments are already interacting to inform research and policymaking; to identify areas where a closer collaboration of both fields or input from other areas could further improve this work; to provide sound theoretical frameworks for future work in both fields; and finally to relate these theoretical debates to currently available and evaluated material for future context assessments.

Mit der PISA-Studie werden grundlegende Kompetenzen von Fünfzehnjährigen gegen Ende der Pflichtschulzeit erfasst. Ziel ist es, Aussagen darüber zu treffen, wie gut die Jugendlichen auf eine erfolgreiche Teilhabe an der modernen Gesellschaft vorbereitet sind. Die Ergebnisse der PISA-Studie ermöglichen alle drei Jahre den internationalen Vergleich von Kompetenzen Fünfzehnjähriger in den Bereichen Naturwissenschaften, Mathematik und Lesen und damit Aussagen über die Wirksamkeit von Bildungssystemen. Der nationale Berichtsband stellt die Ergebnisse der Schülerinnen und Schüler in Deutschland aus der PISA-Studie 2018 vor und setzt sie in Relation zu den Ergebnissen in anderen Staaten. Der Schwerpunkt der Erhebungen und Auswertungen liegt dabei auf der Lesekompetenz. Die Rahmenkonzeption der Lesekompetenz wurde für die PISA-Studie 2018 im Vergleich zu den vorigen Runden einer Revision unterzogen und berücksichtigt nun die sich verändernde Lesepraxis, die mit der Nutzung digitaler Medien einhergeht. Es werden leistungsbezogene Variablen genauso wie motivationale Orientierungen, Einstellungen und Verhalten erfasst, die für die Lesekompetenz wichtig sein können. Daneben wird der Beitrag der sozialen Herkunft und des Zuwanderungshintergrunds für die Lesekompetenzen untersucht. Darüber hinaus werden die Kompetenzen der Jugendlichen in der Mathematik und den Naturwissenschaften vorgestellt und diskutiert.

This book addresses challenges in the theoretically and empirically adequate assessment of competencies in educational settings. It presents the scientific projects of the priority program “Competence Models for Assessing Individual Learning Outcomes and Evaluating Educational Processes,” which focused on competence assessment across disciplines in Germany. The six-year program coordinated 30 research projects involving experts from the fields of psychology, educational science, and subject-specific didactics. The main reference point for all projects is the concept of “competencies,” which are defined as “context-specific cognitive dispositions that are acquired and needed to successfully cope with certain situations or tasks in specific domains” (Koeppen et al., 2008, p. 62). The projects investigate different aspects of competence assessment: The primary focus lies on the development of cognitive models of competencies, complemented by the construction of psychometric models based on these theoretical models. In turn, the psychometric models constitute the basis for the construction of instruments for effectively measuring competencies. The assessment of competencies plays a key role in optimizing educational processes and improving the effectiveness of educational systems. This book contributes to this challenging endeavor by meeting the need for more integrative, interdisciplinary research on the structure, levels, and development of competencies.
