Abstract: Exploring ways teachers assess their pupils in primary and secondary schools following the removal of national curriculum levels. The removal of national curriculum levels in 2014 was designed to complement the introduction of a revised, more challenging national curriculum. The Commission on Assessment without Levels (CAWL) was set up to advise schools on the principles of effective assessment and to support and guide schools in developing their assessment policies and practice. This qualitative research set out to gather evidence on the types and range of nonstatutory assessment approaches in use in primary and secondary schools following the
removal of levels. It focused exclusively on non-statutory assessment and did not include statutory assessment. This report is based on 118 semi-structured qualitative telephone interviews (42 with senior leaders and 76 with teachers) in 42 primary and secondary schools in England. Interviews took place in October and November 2017. There were remarkably few differences of view in relation to the role or phase of the interviewees. However, although the research team approached schools with a wide range of assessment practices, senior leaders who were not confident in their school’s approach to assessment tended to decline the invitation to take part. For this reason, schools with less well-developed.
approaches are likely to be under-represented in this research. [Abstract]

Title: Australia : using open school data to improve transparency and accountability.
Author(s): Rabinowitz, Stanley | Unesco
Published: Paris : UNESCO, International Institute for Educational Planning : 2018
Abstract: This case study focuses on the My School website, managed by the Australian Curriculum Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA), and is the platform for the country's 'school report cards'. The approach taken was to generate new knowledge regarding My School and to utilize existing data based on two recent relevant reports on My School, namely the Review of My School website: Final report to the Australian government Department of Education and the market research report, Perspectives on the My School website. New data were acquired from three main groups of actors: a sample of school actors (principals or, in some cases, assistants, deputy principals, or other school leaders), parent and community actors (representatives from peak parent organizations and community stakeholder organizations), and policy actors who work at a jurisdictional level in the analysis and reporting of school performance data. The mixed-method research methodology applied to this study involved an examination of key source documents (including the two recent reports on My School), the analysis of data obtained from the semi-structured interviews with the policy, parent, and community actors, and data obtained from the written survey of school actors. Analysis of the source material and survey data were coded and categorized to identify patterns, similarities, and differences through a process of comparative analysis. Nine key themes were developed from this process: Usage; Purpose; Usefulness; Limitations; Enhancements (proposed by ACARA); Enhancements (proposed by actors); Transparency; Accountability; Risks.

Author(s): Vista, Alvin | Kim, Helyn | Care, Esther | Brookings Institution | Brookings Institution
Published: Washington DC USA : Brookings Institution Centre for Universal Education : October 2018
Abstract: This report looks at how data from 21st century skills assessment can be used and interpreted to inform teaching and learning. It provides guidance on how data from 21st century skills assessment can be used and interpreted in terms of learning outcomes to inform teaching and learning. It puts forth recommendations applicable and to the current state of assessing 21st century skills to enhance learning outcomes, and anticipating the future of assessment. It discusses the purposes of collecting student achievement data associated with 21st century skills, and how these data are currently used in various contexts and the challenges associated with each. Key principles for effective data use specific to major stakeholders are provided. Beginning with a discussion of what demarcates 20th and 21st century skills in the context of assessment, the main purposes are roughly dichotomized across formative and summative types of assessment. With the learning goals of education shifting to include a broader range of skills, the challenge globally is how to support students in developing these skills. [Abstract]

Abstract: This report was created in collaboration between the Australian National University and Data61 within the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation. It was funded by the Australian Government Department of Industry, Innovation and Science, with raw data provided by SEEK Limited. The project aimed to produce data and methods to address the following two key challenges for Australia: (1) helping universities prepare graduates for workplaces outside academia, and (2) helping industry to recognise the value of the research skills developed by graduates of PhD and Mphil programs. The project successfully used Machine Learning to analyse job ads in order to better understand Australian industry demand for highly skilled researchers. Though further research and development work is required, The Machine developed in this project can be used to perform a longitudinal examination of Australian industry response to the innovation agenda.

<b>ISBN:</b> 9781760288204 (print ed)<br />Abstract: Business analytics refers to skills, methods and technologies that enable managers to make swift, quality decisions based on large amounts of data generated and collected by their organisations. Given the pressures of modern management practice, business analytics has become the foundation for management and information systems courses despite the inherent complexity of its curriculum. It is slowly moving into the early years of the business curriculum, where low numeracy skills and the fundamental lack of business knowledge impede student learning of abstract concepts. This problem was addressed by structuring learning tasks to take advantage of students' general world-knowledge, their intuitive approach to problem solving, preference for learning by experimentation and their eagerness to share personal experiences with peers. This project developed a visual business analytics collaboratory -a web-based facility, shared and maintained by the two partner universities, and open to community learners, where 3D visualisation techniques and immersive interfaces would allow intuitive learning of business analytics.

<b>ISBN:</b> 9789264228368 (PDF)<br />Abstract: The structure of education systems varies widely between countries. In order to produce internationally comparable education statistics and indicators, it is necessary to have a framework to collect and report data on education programmes with a similar level of educational content. UNESCO’s International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED) is the reference classification for organising education programmes and related qualifications by education levels and fields. The basic concepts and definitions of ISCED are intended to be internationally valid and comprehensive of the full range of education systems. ISCED 2011 is the second major revision of this classification (initially developed in the 1970s and first revised in 1997). It was adopted by the UNESCO General Conference in November 2011. Prepared jointly by the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS), the OECD and Eurostat, this operational manual provides guidelines and explanatory notes for the interpretation of the revised classification, by each education level. It also includes country examples of programmes and qualifications that have been classified to ISCED 2011. This manual will be useful for national statisticians collecting and reporting data on education to international organisations, as well as for policymakers and researchers interested in better understanding of these data.

This project explored the extent to which providing open access to these data through digital technology allows students to re-configure and re-use data in order to address real-world problems relating to their learning behaviours and learning decisions. The project took a participatory design approach to: (i) support small groups of students to build-their-own open data systems and practices, and (ii) then evaluate how these open data tools and techniques are adopted and adapted by wider student communities. The immediate outcome of the project was a set of protocols that can be used by other institutions. More lastingly, the project developed realistic understandings of the opportunities and limitations of open data use within student cohorts.

ISBN: 9781742496016
Abstract: This paper provides a summary of who uses data about and for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population of Australia and how these data are used : Indigenous community and other organisations use data for reflection and advocacy. Government and other policy makers use data for allocating resources, identifying needs, monitoring, evaluation and planning. The wider Australian community uses data for accountability (of politicians and policies) and to provide more information about the circumstances of non-Indigenous people. Academics and researchers use data for understanding and explaining. This paper discusses the availability, strengths and weaknesses of 5 types of data: cross-sectional surveys, longitudinal data, qualitative data, administrative data and community-controlled collections. The extent to which the data sets and types of data meet the uses of the data varies considerably. While the needs of governments and researchers are generally well provided for, the needs of Indigenous community and other organisations who work with and for Indigenous Australians are not as well met due to their reliance on community-controlled collections that are relatively poorly resourced.

ISSN: 1442-3871
Abstract: This paper considers the increasing representation of Indigenous people in professional occupations. While the predominant focus in Australian scholarship remains contexts of Aboriginal disadvantage, there is a steadily increasing number of Indigenous professionals in Australia among whom many reside in urban locales. In 2006, Indigenous professionals totalled more than 14,000 people, equivalent to 13 per cent of the Indigenous workforce in Australia. Despite being largely overlooked, Aboriginal people themselves are aware of this trend with some debating its relation to emerging ideas of a new Aboriginal middle class. This paper begins by summarising data concerning Aboriginal professionals: their fields of work, education levels and location. It then considers Aboriginal discussion of the term middle class, reflecting on attitudes to this expression as a mode of self-description and/or ascription, and its implications within narratives of Aboriginal culture and identity. The paper suggests that greater research engagement with Aboriginal professionals is needed to enlarge understandings of occupational aspirations and social mobility as envisaged among Aboriginal people, in addition to contributing a more complete picture of Aboriginal engagements with work and a clearer appreciation of the diverse shapes of contemporary Aboriginal lives.

Abstract: Information and communications technology (ICT) is arguably the key driver of productivity growth and innovation in the twenty-first century. The uptake and effective utilisation of ICT services has facilitated innovation across an increasingly diverse range of areas. This workforce study looks at all the different ways of using ICT and how it can affect different workplaces in different ways. The ICT sector is characterised by fluidity in various domains including in organisational structures, job designs and recruitment strategies. Human capital is the key to realising the innovative potential of ICT. Whatever the future holds, the challenge for industry will be to enable innovation by attracting workers with the specialist skills and capabilities required to deliver and manage technological change, investing in ongoing skills development to promote the deepening and broadening of skills, and committing to flexible organisational practices to facilitate retention and the effective utilisation of skills.

Abstract: This review synthesised evidence by employing a framework synthesis approach to accommodate the anticipated diverse types and quality of literature. The use of an initial conceptual framework effectively guided analysis to consider established evidence as well as policy considerations. At the same time, the use of a preliminary conceptual framework allowed for the development of new evidence to emerge, as on a global scale, little is known about the impact of these assessment programmes in economically developing countries. The review examined the available literature on the use of data from large-scale assessments in education policy-making in developing countries. An extensive literature search initially identified close to 1,500 records. Ultimately, 54 studies were included in this review, with 73 countries represented out of 151 countries that fall under the reviews definition of an economically developing country.

Abstract: This report card provides a set of baseline indicators for each key result areas (KRA) indicators that are strongly guided by the realities of 'what wellbeing looks like' for children and youth. The indicators provide a point-in-time snapshot of child and youth wellbeing in Australia, including how Aboriginal (Indigenous or Torres Strait Islander) young people are faring. By looking at where we are now, using a set of consistent indicators, it is envisaged that unified approaches can be taken to 'turn the curve' to improve child and youth wellbeing. Subsequently, these indicators can be used to track and measure the progress of our actions over time. The second Report Card builds on the first, in that it not only includes these parameters, but most importantly, reflects what young people and families say is important to them in improving child and youth wellbeing. It focuses on the outcomes we want from each of the KRAs, and is based on evidence gained from The Nest expert consultations and The Nest Summit (Phase 1), together with the views of young people and families themselves.

Title: Using data to enhance 21st century skill development in VET : discussion paper for the summit on data for quality improvement in VET.
Author(s): Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER)
Published: Melbourne : Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) : April 2013
Abstract: The National Summit on Data for Quality Improvement in VET is a unique opportunity for senior decision makers and stakeholders in policy, industry, training and research to come together to focus on the use of data to drive quality improvement. A joint initiative of the Australian Workforce and Productivity Agency (AWPA), the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) and the National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER), summit participants will engage actively with policy and practice issues supported by the latest research on collecting and using data for quality improvement. In response to the increasing demands of modern workforce and general life participation and perceptions of poor or declining educational standards, governments around the world are emphasising the important role of education systems in developing in learners a broader set of skills that will meet the challenges and demands of work, study and life in the 21st century. In many cases this has led education systems to focus increasingly on learning outcomes as a measure of system quality in addition to more traditional measures of inputs and outputs. In refocusing the notion of quality around this proximate purpose of education (student learning outcomes), systems have been able to set ambitious agendas on improvements in outcomes and monitor and evaluate progress against those agendas.

Published: Melbourne : ACER Press : 2013
ISBN: 9781742861678
Abstract: Using Data to Improve Learning explains how teachers can incorporate 'no-frills' engagement with data, collected by themselves and others, into day-to-day teaching so that the process is useful, empowering and enjoyable. It presents strategies that are practical enough to attract teachers' interest, feasible enough to implement in ongoing and sustainable ways and rigorous enough to make immediate and positive differences to teaching and learning.

Title: Flexible imputation of missing data.
Series: (Chapman & Hall/CRC interdisciplinary statistics series)
Author(s): Buuren, Stef van |
Published: Boca Raton, Fla : CRC Press : 2012
ISBN: 9781439868249 (hardback)
Abstract: Missing data form a problem in every scientific discipline, yet the techniques required to handle them are complicated and often lacking. One of the great ideas in statistical science multiple imputation fills gaps in the data with plausible values, the uncertainty of which is coded in the data itself. It also solves other problems, many of which are missing data problems in disguise. Flexible Imputation of Missing Data is supported by many examples using real data taken from the author's vast experience of collaborative research, and presents a practical guide for handling missing data under the framework of multiple imputation. This graduate-tested book avoids mathematical and technical details as much as possible: formulas are accompanied by a verbal statement that explains the formula in layperson terms.

Abstract: This report forms part of the Longitudinal Surveys of Australian Youth (LSAY) suite of research. The particular focus of this report was an examination of the LSAY survey instruments vis-a-vis their coverage of wellbeing questions. Wellbeing is an area of significant interest to policy-makers, because, at the end of the day, it is what policy-makers are trying to achieve. Having a valid set of wellbeing questions in LSAY will enhance the capacity to research the links between wellbeing and other domains of interest for young people in Australia. [p. 3]

Title: Lower-level qualifications as a stepping stone for young people.

Author(s): Oliver, Damien | National Centre for Vocational Education Research (Australia) (NCVER)
Published: Adelaide : NCVER : 2012
ISBN: 9781922056016
Abstract: Lower-level qualifications (certificate I and II programs) provide little or no immediate return to the individual in terms of increased wages. However, lower-level qualifications are intended to prepare students who would otherwise not be capable of enrolling in and completing a higher-level qualification or making a successful transition into the workplace, because of their ability, social circumstances, or previous educational experiences. The aim of this report is to test whether lowerlevel qualifications serve a broader purpose by functioning as a stepping stone to further study or into the labour market. - [p. 3]

Author(s): Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) | Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA)
Published: Paris : OECD : 2012
ISBN: 9789264174917 (print)
<b>ISBN:</b> 9789264175006 (PDF)<br />Abstract: In most PISA-participating countries and economies, the average socio-economic background of students who attend privately managed schools is more advantaged than that of those who attend public schools. Yet in some countries, there is little difference in the socio-economic profiles between public and private schools. Why? An analysis of PISA results finds that while the prevalence of privately managed schools in a country is not related to socio-economic stratification within a school system, the level of public funding to privately managed schools is: the higher the proportion of public funding allocated to privately managed schools, the smaller the socio-economic divide between publicly and privately managed schools. This report also shows that those countries with narrow socio-economic stratification in their education systems not only maximise equity and social cohesion, but also perform well in the PISA survey.

Title: A big apple for educators : New York city's experiment with school wide performance bonuses : final evaluation report.
Author(s): Marsh, Julie A. | Springer, Matthew G. | McCaffrey, Daniel F. | Yuan, Kun | Epstein, Scott | Koppich, Julia | Kalra, Nidhi | DiMartino, Catherine | Peng, Art |

Abstract: In the 2007/2008 school year, the New York City Department of Education and the United Federation of Teachers jointly implemented the Schoolwide Performance Bonus Program in a random sample of the city's high-needs public schools. The program lasted for three school years, and its broad objective was to improve student performance through school-based financial incentives. To examine its implementation and effects, the department tasked a RAND Corporation-led partnership with the National Center on Performance Incentives at Vanderbilt University to conduct a two-year study of the program that would offer an independent assessment. This report describes the results of our analyses for all three years of the program, from 2007 to 2008 and through 2009 to 2010. This work built on past research and was guided by a theory of action articulated by program leaders. Researchers examined student test scores; teacher, school staff, and administrator surveys; and interviews with administrators, staff members, program sponsors, and union and district officials. The researchers found that the program did not, by itself, improve student achievement, perhaps in part because conditions needed to motivate staff were not achieved (e.g., understanding, buy-in for the bonus criteria) and because of the high level of accountability pressure all the schools already faced. - [publisher website]

Abstract: The International Civic and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS) studied the ways in which countries prepare their young people to undertake their roles as citizens. It investigated student knowledge and understanding of civics and citizenship as well as student attitudes, perceptions, and activities related to civics and citizenship. It also examined differences among countries in relation to these outcomes of civic and citizenship education, and it explored how differences among countries relate to student characteristics, school and community contexts, and national characteristics. ICCS gathered data from more than 140,000 Grade 8 (or equivalent) students in over 5,300 schools from 38 countries. These student data were augmented by data from more than 62,000 teachers in those schools and by contextual data collected from school principals and the study's national research centers.

Published: Sydney : Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority : 2010
Abstract: This report presents the findings from the 2009 round of the National Assessment Program - Science Literacy (NAP-SL). It was carried out under the auspices of the national council of education ministers, the Ministerial Council for Education, Early Childhood Development and Youth Affairs (MCEECDYA). The National Assessment Program - Science Literacy is one of a suite of national assessments (with Civics & Citizenship and ICT) which are conducted with a random sample of students on three-year cycles. The findings allow the measurement and reporting on how our students are progressing towards the achievement of the Educational Goals for Young Australians. This third report on Year 6 Science Literacy provides a national comparison of student performance against the science literacy scale, and an analysis of various findings across states and territories and student sub-groups. It also allows the achievement of Year 6 students to be compared with the findings from the previous 2003 and 2006 science assessments.

Published: Sydney : Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority : 2010
Abstract: This technical report aims to provide detailed information with regard to the conduct of the 2009 National Assessment Program Science Literacy so that valid interpretations of the 2009 results can be made, and future cycles can be implemented with appropriate linking information from past cycles. Further, a fully documented set of the National Assessment Program Science Literacy procedures can also provide information for researchers who are planning assessments of this kind. The methodologies used in the 2009 National Assessment Program Science Literacy can inform researchers of the current developments in large-scale assessments. They can also highlight the limitations and suggest possible improvements in the future. Consequently, it is of great importance to provide technical details on all aspects of the assessment. - [p. 10]

Abstract: In 2010 Mission Australia conducted its ninth annual survey of young Australians. The primary purpose of the survey, as in previous years, was to identify both the values and issues of concern to young people. This year the latter included both the personal concerns of young people and the issues they identified for Australia as a whole. There was also a new question that asked young people how they felt about the future. 50,240 young people aged 11 to 24 participated in the survey in 2010, the largest number of respondents in the surveys history. 7,577 completed the survey online, with the remainder being completed in hard copy.

Author(s): Sook-Lee, Jung | National Centre for Vocational Education Research (Australia) (NCVER) | Australia. Dept of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR)
Published: Adelaide : NCVER : 2010
Abstract: This study focuses on occupational prestige as a measure of the individual return from education | for young people aged 16 to 26 years. The main objectives of the study were to investigate whether a rise in occupational prestige is predicted by the level of education and whether the effect of education on the rise in occupational prestige differs by individual characteristics and family backgrounds. This study also examined whether there are gender differences in the trajectories of occupational prestige. The study used the 1995 cohort of the Longitudinal Surveys of Australian Youth (LSAY).1 The 1995 cohort comprises a nationally representative sample of young people who were in Year 9 in 1995.
