Handbook of International Large-Scale Assessment

Background, Technical Issues, and Methods of Data Analysis

International large-scale assessments (ILSAs) of educational achievement such as the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study and the Programme for International Student Assessment are an increasingly important part of the educational research and policy landscape in the U.S. and internationally. This book will bring together recognized scholars in the field of ILSA, behavioral statistics, and policy to develop a detailed guide for ILSA users that goes beyond ILSA user manuals.
