- Summary:
-
The International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), an independent cooperative of research centers from about 45 countries, performs the type of research that provides data which can be used by policymakers as a basis for decision making about educational improvements. This paper describes: (1) IEA's mission and history; (2) the design and structure of a typical IEA achievement study, using the Second International Mathematics Study as an illustration (including discussions of the conceptual framework on which the study is built, the process by which populations and samples are selected, and the development of achievement tests); (3) some exemplary results of IEA studies which compare total test scores internationally, illustrate the relationship between achievement and other variables, and analyze a national educational system; and (4) IEA's organization, relationship to other national and international organizations, and future plans. Four recent IEA studies are cited and references are provided for forthcoming publications. (24 references) (GL)
