Frank Fernandez – Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies, 2022
This paper examines the prevalence of incomplete educational qualifications and consider the importance of both background characteristics and numeracy skills as predictors of non-completion. The paper analyzes data from the Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) to address the following research questions:…

Lucena Barbosa, Flávia; Borges-Andrade, Jairo Eduardo – Journal of Workplace Learning, 2022
Purpose: This paper aims to find a measurement model with better evidence of validity, with data extracted from the Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC). To test a parsimonious model in which dispositional and workplace context characteristics are predictors of informal learning behaviors (ILBs).…

Fogg, Neeta; Harrington, Paul; Khatiwada, Ishwar; Kirsch, Irwin; Sands, Anita – ETS Center for Research on Human Capital and Education, 2022
As with the previous reports in the series, this new report relies on the rich source of data from the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC), including direct assessment of literacy and numeracy skills and a host of information on education, income, and other demographic characteristics. But what is unique in…

Korshunov, Ilya; Lubnikov, Sergei; Miroshnikov, Maxim; Tyunin, Arkadii – Adult Education Quarterly: A Journal of Research and Theory, 2023
Using the PIAAC data, we show how exposure to various dimensions of nonformal and informal learning relates to the problem-solving capacity in a technology-rich environment for working adults. The sample included permanent staff from various economic sectors, self-employed individuals, and casual employees doing fixed-term contracts (n = 1248)…

Adult numeracy is one of the essential skill sets to navigate through numeric information-rich labour markets in general, and STEM industries in particular. Yet, relatively little is known about how numeracy skills are used in different settings in the USA. This study examined numeracy skill use patterns of STEM and non-STEM workers at work and…

Susu Zhang; Xueying Tang; Qiwei He; Jingchen Liu; Zhiliang Ying – Grantee Submission, 2024
Computerized assessments and interactive simulation tasks are increasingly popular and afford the collection of process data, i.e., an examinee's sequence of actions (e.g., clickstreams, keystrokes) that arises from interactions with each task. Action sequence data contain rich information on the problem-solving process but are in a nonstandard,…
