The contributions give insight in the role of large-scale international assessments as change agents. As national leaders recognize the growing importance of human capital and how it is distributed, policymakers, economists and decision makers in education have become increasingly interested in results from comparative international surveys. These assessments offer important information on the development of cognitive skills and the consequences of differences in the distribution of these skills.  Researchers use the data to assess the role of human capital in predicting outcomes and to identify factors that may contribute to the development of more human capital.  An invaluable resource for researchers in international comparative education, policy studies, economics, civics education, educational technology, andpolicy makers. 606 $aEducational tests and measurements 606 $aEconomic policy 606 $aEducation and state 606 $aAssessment and Testing 606 $aEconomic Policy 606 $aEducational Policy and Politics 615 0$aEducational tests and measurements. 615 0$aEconomic policy. 615 0$aEducation and state. 615 14$aAssessment and Testing. 615 24$aEconomic Policy. 615 24$aEducational Policy and Politics. 676 $a371.26 700 $aDavier$b Matthias von$01764020 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910438333003321 996 $aThe role of international large-scale assessments$94204755 997 $aUNINA
