Symposium, Continued in 09 SES 06 A
Contribution
The aim of the paper is to compare the results gained in the OECD PISA study with the assessment data on the quality of Latvian national general education and the indicators characterizing the school. The research goal is to explore the relationships between the students’ achievement in PISA 2006 and the results of Grade 9 students in the national examinations of mathematics and science. The paper will also study associations between students’ achievement and some background indicators, for example school funding (funding per one pedagogical fulltime load and funding per student), the number of students at school per one pedagogical fulltime load and other socioeconomic indicators of the school and family. Analyses will apply both the statistic data on education in Latvia and the PISA 2006 data. Finally, the authors will provide the evaluation of the correspondence between the results of the international and state measurements of the education quality. Also the recommendations for improving the procedures of implementing the state examinations and other recommendations for the policy makers concerning a common monitoring system of education quality in Latvia will be worked out.
