Second Information Technology in Education Study: SITES 2006 Technical Report

SITES 2006 examined how teachers and students used ICT and the extent to which certain pedagogical practices considered to be conducive to the development of ""21st century"" skills were present in comparison to traditionally important ones. These 21st century skills were defined in terms of students' abilities to engage in lifelong learning (collaborative and self-directed inquiry) and their connectedness (ability to collaborate with and learn from peers and experts). In addition, analyses were conducted to identify conditions at the system, school, and teacher level that were associated with different pedagogical practices and different ways of using ICT for teaching and learning. The study used questionnaires to collect information from school principals, technology coordinators, and mathematics and science teachers; a national context questionnaire gathered policy information on education and ICT use. For 15 countries that participated in SITES Module 1, SITES 2006 also provided an opportunity to examine changes in pedagogy and ICT use since 1998. The main data collection took place in 2006. In 18 countries, the data were collected online

Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) 2018 Conceptual Framework

The Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) is an ongoing large-scale survey of teachers, school leaders and their learning environments, with the first survey taking place in 2008. The survey is administered in lower secondary schools (ISCED 2) and, as an option, is administered in primary (ISCED 1) and upper secondary (ISCED 3) schools. The survey is also optionally administered in PISA sampled schools, forming a TALIS - PISA link. Therefore, this TALIS 2018 conceptual framework builds on the previous two cycles in 2008 and 2013 and underpins the survey’s focus on effective instructional and institutional conditions that enhance student learning, while describing how these vary both within and across countries, and over time. The 2018 framework addresses enduring themes and priorities related to professional characteristics and pedagogical practices at the institutional and individual levels: teachers’ educational background and initial preparation; their professional development, instructional and professional practices; self-efficacy and job satisfaction; and issues of school leadership, feedback systems, and school climate. It also addresses emerging policy and research interests related to innovation and teaching in diverse environments and settings. The document provides scientific foundations for each area, along with the major influences from related research in education at the OECD and beyond. Finally, the conceptual framework provides a general overview of the survey’s operations and its implementation process through its different stages

Online data collection in SITES 2006: paper survey versus web survey - do they provide comparable results?

Family income and parents\u27 educational background are strong predictors of a student reading achievement. Schools with children from wealthier and better educated families have easier job to do - in terms of teaching children how toread and write. They are not always successful, though. On the other hand, there are schools where students come from economically disadvantaged homes and yet schools tend to have reading achievement above the national levels or,above the expected level according to the environmental factors. We were interested in schools which exceeded the expectations according to the family income and parents\u27 educational background. Various variables were tested to find out which are relevant for the effective schools in various countries

Changing interests and sustained knowledge in the TALIS 2018 framework

TALIS 2018 is the third cycle of this international survey of teachers and school leaders. The main data were collected in late 2017/early 2018, and initial results and data are expected to be published in June 2019. The survey’s conceptual framework reflects major concepts from research literature, as well as policy interests, and was developed by researchers in consultation with international stakeholders and participating countries/economies. The 2018 framework is organised under 11 themes that address both emerging issues in teaching and learning – including new themes of equity and diversity and innovation – and enduring issues from the two previous cycles in 2008 and 2013. TALIS 2018 focuses on lower secondary education, but also provides information about primary and upper secondary education for those countries that choose either of the options that address these levels
