The most widely adopted studies, PISA and TIMSS, are now administered regularly and include participating countries from every region around the world. These international studies, now include cross-national studies of multiple subject areas, teachers and teaching, and a developing focus on higher education. This information has been used to make decisions about resource distribution both within and across national educational systems, but some of the most productive uses of TIMSS and PISA data by policymakers have been to create agendas for innovation and equity in national educational systems. The chapters in this volume will (1) discuss the uses of international achievement study results as a tool for national progress as well as an obstacle, (2) provide recommendations for ways that international achievement data can be used in real-world policymaking situations, and (3) discuss what the future of international achievement studies holds. 410 0$aInternational perspectives on education and society ;$v13. 606 $aEducation$xGeneral$2bisacsh 606 $aEducation$xComparative$2bisacsh 606 $aEducational strategies & policy$2bicssc 606 $aOrganization & management of education$2bicssc 606 $aEducational statistics 606 $aEducational planning$xStatistical methods 615 7$aEducation$xGeneral. 615 7$aEducation$xComparative. 615 7$aEducational strategies & policy. 615 7$aOrganization & management of education. 615 0$aEducational statistics. 615 0$aEducational planning$xStatistical methods. 676 $a379 676 $a379 701 $aWiseman$b Alexander W.$f1968-$0851927 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814524403321 996 $aThe impact of international achievement studies on national education policymaking$94078946 997 $aUNINA
