The chapters in this book were prepared during the second phase of a study conducted by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development to develop a set of International Indicators of Education Systems (INES). They were among the many studies presented at the General Assembly of the INES Project in Lugano (Switzerland), September 16-18, 1991. Taken together, these papers present what is currently known about the organization, development, measurement, and uses of international education indicators. Attention is given to the political contexts within which education indicators are used for informing policy-makers. The 18 chapters deal mainly with conceptual and analytical issues in the organization of education indicators. They are grouped thematically into four parts. Part I, "History and Definition of Indicators," presents a framework for the other contributions. Part II, "Development of Indicators," discusses issues in the development and implementation of different types of indicators. Part III, "Indicators of Outcomes of Education," is concerned with indicators of learning, student achievement, and other educational outcomes, such as labor market destinations. The five chapters in Part IV, "Interpreting Indicators for Policy," focus on the uses and abuses of reporting and interpreting international education indicators. Each chapter contains references. (Contains 10 tables and 16 figures.) (SLD)

International education indicators provide the opportunity to compare America's performance with that of other countries, to identify similarities and differences between our systems and others, and to suggest new approaches to the challenge of providing a world class education. Comparisons are among Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the U.K. and the U.S. Students in the U.S. perform well in comparison with their peers in other countries in reading and less well in geography and science; their weakest area is math. Public financial investment in education in the U.S. is among the highest.

The final report of the congressionally-mandated Special Study Panel on Education Indicators (SSPEI) that was transmitted to Congress as required by the Hawkins-Stafford Education Amendments of 1988 is presented. This report is divided into two sections. Part I--"Education Counts"--presents the SSPEI's overall conception of how an indicator information system should be developed; provides recommendations for improvements in Federal data collection and reporting in six major issue areas; and includes information of direct interest to general readers, educators, policymakers, and business leaders. Part II--"An Indicator System To Monitor the Nation's Educational Health"--presents more detailed information about the six issues. It is designed to provide analysts and researchers with more substantive guidance on the six issues, identify existing data sources, and cite gaps in currently available data. The six issues relate to the six national education goals proposed by the President and governors in 1989 concerning: readiness for school; high school completion; student achievement and citizenship; science and mathematics; adult literacy and lifelong learning; and safe, disciplined, and drug-free schools. It is concluded that: a comprehensive data, information, and research system is needed to guide education policymakers' decisions; statistical indicators are powerful tools for identifying problems and galvanizing public support to address them, but a limited set of indicators can be misleading; and the information system for developing education indicators should be organized around learner outcomes, quality of educational institutions, readiness for school, societal support for learning, education and economic productivity, and equity among other factors.

Moves to develop indicators about school effectiveness and performance have been driven by national trends and debates about performance and accountability. Nationally set indicators – such as the standard assessment tasks, or the publication of performance in public examinations – have increasingly become part of the new education currency: a medium for exercising choice and decision-making in the new education market place. As contributors to this book suggest, such a framework is not unproblematic. Originally published in 1994, this book offers a number of insights into the general debate about performance indicators at the time. It explores the background to the debate; the differing perspectives of policy-makers and practitioners; and the purpose, audiences and values of education indicators, both in the UK and elsewhere.

In this text, the author draws on her experience as creator of the ALIS project (A-Level Information System), a quality monitoring and feedback system in use in many parts of the UK. She asks the question "how do we get quality into education?" and uses the positive lessons of ALIS to analyze the requirements of an effective, "value-added" monitoring system.

In the push to bring data to bear on all of the important education issues of the day, one essential fact is often overlooked: Not all indicators are created equal. This bookprovides a comprehensive approach for understanding how statistical measures of achievement are developed, evaluated, and interpreted. Given the extent to which accountability measures determine outcomes for schools and students, this practical introduction is essential reading for a wide audience that includes school administrators, teachers, policymakers, and the media. The authors strive to increase “statistical literacy” by engaging readers in the process of becoming thoughtful and critical users of data. With the practitioner in mind, this hands-on primer: Outlines a viable approach to interpreting the vast array of available data about education in the United States.Uses clear, jargon-free language with real examples from local, national, and international indicator systems.Offers a website (www.educationindicator.com) with additional resources, examples, and a forum for up-to-the-minute policy discussions.Mike Planty is a statistician at the U.S. Department of Justice, Washington, DC. Deven Carlson is a Ph.D. candidate in political science and a graduate research fellow at the Wisconsin Center for Education Research at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. “Mike Planty and Deven Carlson have taken pity on nonexpert readers of the glut of information about schools and, in this incisive and clearly written book, show how to figure it all out.” —Jay Mathews, Washington Post education columnist “In a data-driven world where competing experts will cite conflicting stats and figures to make their case, Planty and Carlson have penned a volume that will prove invaluable to parents, practitioners, and policymakers trying to separate fact from fiction. If you want to know what’s really going on in education today, read this book.” —Frederick M. Hess, Director of Education Policy Studies at the American Enterprise Institute “Education researchers, policy analysts, and journalists interested in understanding what really is going on behind the ‘simple’ data that drive the education policy debate need this book.” —Jack Buckley, New York University and former Deputy Commissioner of the National Center for Education Statistics

This volume contains some of the many studies undertaken during the initial phase of activity by the Centre for Educational Research and Innovation (CERI) of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) concerning international education indicators. The studies trace the preparation of a set of international indicators as they illuminate the complexity of such indicators and the wariness with which decision makers approach indicators. The first inquiries were aimed at circumscribing the field of intervention of the CERI and they illustrate that the most complex problem is not the calculation of valid indicators but the classification of concepts. After an Introduction, "What Are International Education Indicators For?" (N. Bottani and H. J. Walberg), the following articles are included: (1) "The Functions and Limitations of International Education Indicators" (D. Nuttall); (2) "Conceptual Models in Use for Education Indicators" (M. van Herpen); (3) "Process Indicators of School Functioning" (J. Scheerens); (4) "Do Common Values Produce Common Indicators?" (A. Ruby); (5) "Statistical and Indicators Work in the OECD Directorate for Science, Technology and Industry" (G. Westholm); (6) "Standardizing Data in Decentralised Educational Data Systems" (R. W. Selden); and (7) "What Can Be Learned from All This?" (I. Delfau and R. W. Selden). (SLD)
