This volume brings together educational effectiveness research and international large-scale assessments, demonstrating how the two fields can be applied to inspire and improve each other, and providing readers direct links to instruments that cover a broad range of topics and have been shown to work in more than 70 countries. The book’s initial chapters introduce and summarize recent discussions and developments in the conceptualization, implementation, and evaluation of international large-scale context assessments and provide an outlook on possible future developments. Subsequently, three thematic sections – “Student Background”, “Outcomes of Education Beyond Achievement”, and “Learning in Schools” – each present a series of chapters that provide the conceptual background for a wide range of important topics in education research, policy, and practice. Each chapter defines a conceptual framework that relates recent findings in the educational effectiveness research literature to current issues in education policy and practice. These frameworks were used to develop interesting and relevant indicators that may be used for meaningful reporting from international assessments, other cross-cultural research, or national studies. Using the example of one particular survey (the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA 2015)), this volume links all theoretical considerations to fully developed questionnaire material that was field trailed and evaluated in questionnaires for students and their parents as well as teachers and principals in their schools. The primary purposes of this book are to inform readers about how education effectiveness research and international large-scale assessments are already interacting to inform research and policymaking; to identify areas where a closer collaboration of both fields or input from other areas could further improve this work; to provide sound theoretical frameworks for future work in both fields; and finally to relate these theoretical debates to currently available and evaluated material for future context assessments.

This book addresses challenges in the theoretically and empirically adequate assessment of competencies in educational settings. It presents the scientific projects of the priority program “Competence Models for Assessing Individual Learning Outcomes and Evaluating Educational Processes,” which focused on competence assessment across disciplines in Germany.The six-year program coordinated 30 research projects involving experts from the fields of psychology, educational science, and subject-specific didactics. The main reference point for all projects is the concept of “competencies,” which are defined as “context-specific cognitive dispositions that are acquired and needed to successfully cope with certain situations or tasks in specific domains” (Koeppen et al., 2008, p. 62). The projects investigate different aspects of competence assessment: The primary focus lies on the development of cognitive models of competencies, complemented by the construction of psychometric models based on these theoretical models. In turn, the psychometric models constitute the basis for the construction of instruments for effectively measuring competencies.The assessment of competencies plays a key role in optimizing educational processes and improving the effectiveness of educational systems. This book contributes to this challenging endeavor by meeting the need for more integrative, interdisciplinary research on the structure, levels, and development of competencies.

In der Reihe der thematischen Berichte zur PISA-2000-Studie geht dieser Band der Frage nach, wie die Problemlösekompetenz von Jugendlichen im Rahmen von large-scale assessments definiert und erfasst werden kann. Für die Erfassung analytischer Aspekte werden Papier-und-Bleistiftverfahren entwickelt und evaluiert, dynamische Aspekte werden mittels computergestützter Verfahren erhoben. Zudem wird ein Verfahren zur Erfassung kooperativen Problemlösens vorgestellt. Die Kompetenzstruktur von Problemlösen wird im Zusammenspiel mit schulischen Kompetenzen und familiären Merkmalen analysiert.

Vor dem Hintergrund DFG-geförderter Grundlagenforschung reflektiert das Sonderheft den aktuellen Stand der Diskussion um Kompetenzen und Kompetenzmodelle in Deutschland. Die Autoren der Beiträge sind führende Vertreter der Bildungsforschung, die sich aus erziehungswissenschaftlicher, psychologischer und fachdidaktischer Perspektive mit Fragen der Erfassung individueller Lernergebnisse und der Bilanzierung von Bildungsprozessen befassen.

In diesem Sonderheft der ‚Zeitschrift für Erziehungswissenschaft‘ werden in einer Follow up-Studie Aussagen über Lernfortschritte vom Ende der neunten bis zum Ende der zehnten Klassenstufe getroffen. Besonders interessant sind die Möglichkeiten einer Erhebung über zwei Messzeitpunkte, die die Prüfung von Vermutungen zu Einflussfaktoren zur Kompetenzentwicklung erlaubt. Die Studie wurde vom Zentrum für internationale Bildungsvergleichsstudien (ZIB) und dessen drei Trägereinrichtungen – TUM School of Education, DIPF und IPN – in Zusammenarbeit mit dem IQB Berlin durchgeführt.

Mit dem Ländervergleich zu ,PISA 2000' liefert das Deutsche PISA-Konsortium vergleichende Analysen von Schulleistungen in den einzelnen Ländern der Bundesrepublik. Untersuchungsgegenstand ist das Niveau der Lesekompetenz sowie der mathematischen und naturwissenschaftlichen Grundbildung von Jugendlichen im nationalen Vergleich und sein Platz im internationalen Leistungsspektrum. Zur Einordnung der Ergebnisse werden die unterschiedlich hohen Anteile an Jugendlichen aus Migrationsfamilien, die unterschiedliche Sozialstruktur der Länder und die soziale Herkunft der 15-jährigen Schülerinnen und Schüler berücksichtigt. Die Analysen stehen im Zusammenhang von Bildungspolitischen Bemühungen, die Gleichwertigkeit der schulischen Ausbildung und die Durchlässigkeit der Bildungssysteme in den verschiedenen Bundesländern zu sichern und die Vergleichbarkeit ihrer Schulabschlüsse zu gewährleisten.

Der Bildungsbericht für Deutschland: liefert einen systematischen Gesamtüberblick über die derzeitige Situation des deutschen allgemein bildenden Schulwesens.
