With the growing attention on large-scale educational testing and assessment, the ability to process substantial volumes of response data becomes crucial. Current estimation methods within item response theory (IRT), despite their high precision, often pose considerable computational burdens with large-scale data, leading to reduced computational…

Mau, Steffen – International Studies in Sociology of Education, 2020
The process of quantification is a powerful development shaping many domains of life today. In the area of education, for example, performance measurement, testing and ranking have become common tools of governance. Quantification is not a neutral way of describing society, but a process of valorisation. It has three sociologically relevant…

Melissa Dan Wang – Large-scale Assessments in Education, 2025
Although self-report surveys are widely used for data collection, data quality can vary across populations because certain groups are more likely to engage in insufficient effort responding (IER). Our study examined how different levels of the educational system--student groups, schools, and cultural contexts--affect data quality due to IER, using…

Lin, Pei-Ying; Lin, Yu-Cheng – Policy Futures in Education, 2019
Over the decades, it is evident that exceptional learners have been excluded from participating in international assessments such as OECD's PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) due to their disabilities. Drawing on the interdisciplinary theories and perspectives of educational assessment, measurement, and early childhood special…

Guo, Hongwen – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2022
Many educational summative and formative assessments have been transferred to a remote online setting because of the pandemic. Educational professionals and stakeholders have shown interest in learning how this change in the test mode influenced test takers; that is, whether test-taking experiences in a remote test setting were different from…

Lundahl, Christian; Serder, Margareta – Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education, 2023
How can we understand the uncertainties in high-stake measures such as PISA in relation to the claims that different authorities make from them? In this paper, we use a rather remarkable case from Sweden involving conflicting interpretations of the PISA 2018 results at a national political level and a fight over statistics between two national…

Fraillon, Julian, Ed.; Ainley, John, Ed.; Schulz, Wolfram, Ed.; Friedman, Tim, Ed.; Duckworth, Daniel, Ed. – International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement, 2020
IEA's International Computer and Information Literacy Study (ICILS) 2018 investigated how well students are prepared for study, work, and life in a digital world. ICILS 2018 measured international differences in students' computer and information literacy (CIL): their ability to use computers to investigate, create, participate, and communicate at…

Rowe, Emma – Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education, 2019
This paper explores third-wave post-neoliberalism as an assemblage, fractured and dis/embodied, a mobile tool of governance articulated in various shapes across geopolitical sites. Post-neoliberalism is assembled alongside other key cultural shifts, such as post-truth, posthuman and the computational turn. In light of this Special Issue, this…

Hartong, Sigrid – Globalisation, Societies and Education, 2018
The ongoing trend towards educational globalisation has brought about various dynamics of education policy "rescaling," resulting in a growing number of governmental arrangements, which are operating across traditional scales, levels or sectors of policy. This contribution takes up the conceptual frameworks of topological spatialisation…
