Lovely to see this new chapter (with Emer Delaney, Adrian O’Flaherty, Rachel Perkins & Rachel Cunningham) in the 2024 CIDREE Yearbook! We describe the evolution of digital assessment in Ireland over 20 years in PISA, TIMSS, PIRLS & national standardised tests: 👉🏻 lnkd.in/eDZRSQY3


Ahead of the TIMSS 2023 national report release on Weds 4th, here is a reminder of some findings from the previous TIMSS study (2019). Two short summaries of the relative strengths & weaknesses of students in Ireland are available at erc.ie/studies/timss/… NCCA Oide Schools' Support Service, Ireland


A useful discussion on the topic of student experiences & barriers to full participation in Transition Year on Lunchtime Live today (tinyurl.com/mu9x77bh) prompted by this article in The Irish Times (tinyurl.com/4pmysbb5) Gerry Jeffers NCCA Oide Transition Year

👉 Ireland's TIMSS 2023 national report is now available at lnkd.in/eq3zG3Fg ✔️ You can also see infographics on the main findings for Fourth Class and Second Year maths and science, like the one below, at lnkd.in/eya-F3Mi ERC - Educational Research Centre IEA - Education TIMSS & PIRLS


This was a lovely brief to work on with Emer Delaney and colleagues at IEA - Education. Hopefully the Irish experience will yield some useful examples for researchers and policymakers in other countries to consider in their own contexts. ERC - Educational Research Centre


📢Listen to ERC - Educational Research Centre researchers Aidan Clerkin and Emer Delaney discussing how data from national and international large-scale assessments (ILSAs) has informed education reform policy in Ireland. You can also read the report here 👉 bit.ly/3ErhLVV
