ABSTRACT Decreasing performance in several core subjects among students in Sweden and the increasing segregation of schools are urgent issues in relation to equity in education, which has been a long-term goal in Sweden. The aim of this study is to identify factors in the school environment associated with student performance in PISA in mathematics at different performance levels in the Nordic countries. In order to separate the effects of school-level variables from the effects of student background factors,… Continue Reading →

ABSTRACT Value-added models (VAMs) of student test scores are used within education because they are supposed to measure school and teacher effectiveness well. Much research has compared VAM estimates for different models, with different measures (e.g., observation ratings), and in experimental designs. VAMs are considered here from the perspective of graphical models and situations are identified that are problematic for VAMs. If the previous test scores are influenced by variables that also influence the true effectiveness of the school/teacher… Continue Reading →
