It considers the role of contextual factors which impinge on the use of assessment findings. The attachment of sanctions to performance on a national assessment and use of assessment results for accountability are discussed. Key components of a national assessment report are specified . Other instruments to communicate findings are described. Uses of national assessment findings for policy, management, teaching, and raising public awareness are described. A number of ways in which the use and value of national assessments could be optimized are proposed. This volume is intended primarily for teams who are responsible for conducting national assessments and policy makers responsible for the dissemination and use of national assessment results.CC BY 3.0 IGOABILITY OF STUDENTSACHIEVEMENT DATAACHIEVEMENT SCORESACHIEVEMENT STANDARDSACHIEVEMENT TESTSACHIEVEMENTSAPPROACH TO TEACHINGASSESSMENT ACTIVITYASSESSMENT FRAMEWORKASSESSMENT INSTRUMENTSASSESSMENT PROCEDURESASSESSMENT REPORTSAVERAGE CLASS SIZEBOARD OF EDUCATIONBOOK DESIGNCLASSROOMCLASSROOM INSTRUCTIONCLASSROOM LEVELCLASSROOM TEACHERSCLASSROOM TEACHINGCLASSROOMSCOGNITIVE ACHIEVEMENTCOGNITIVE OUTCOMESCOGNITIVE SKILLSCOMPETENCIESCONTEXTUAL FACTORSCURRICULACURRICULUMCURRICULUM DEVELOPERSCURRICULUM REVISIONCURRICULUM SPECIALISTSDATA ON STUDENT ACHIEVEMENTDATA ON STUDENTSDECISION MAKINGEDUCATION COMMUNITYEDUCATION FOR ALLEDUCATION MANAGERSEDUCATION OUTCOMESEDUCATION POLICIESEDUCATION QUALITYEDUCATION STATISTICSEDUCATION SYSTEMEDUCATION SYSTEMSEDUCATIONAL ACHIEVEMENTEDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIESEDUCATIONAL ACTIVITYEDUCATIONAL ASSESSMENTEDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCESEDUCATIONAL MANAGEMENTEDUCATIONAL MATERIALSEDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIESEDUCATIONAL PROGRESSEDUCATIONAL QUALITYEDUCATIONAL RESEARCHEDUCATIONAL SYSTEMEDUCATIONAL TESTSEDUCATORSEFFECTIVE EDUCATIONEMPLOYMENTENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCEFACTUAL KNOWLEDGEFEMALE STUDENTSFIRST LANGUAGEGENDER DIFFERENCESGENDER EQUITYGIRLSGRADE LEVELSGRADE REPETITIONHEAD TEACHERHIGH ACHIEVEMENTHUMAN DEVELOPMENTINDEXESINSTRUCTIONINSTRUCTIONAL CHANGEINSTRUCTIONAL TECHNIQUESINTERNATIONAL STUDENT ASSESSMENTINTERNATIONAL STUDIESINTERVENTIONSLEARNINGLEARNING DIFFICULTIESLEARNING ENVIRONMENTSLEARNING LEVELSLEARNING OUTCOMESLEVEL OF ACHIEVEMENTLEVEL OF SKILLLIFE SKILLSLITERACYLOW ACHIEVEMENTMATHEMATICSMATHEMATICS COMPETENCIESMATHEMATICS SKILLSMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONNATIONAL ASSESSMENTNATIONAL ASSESSMENT DATANATIONAL ASSESSMENTSNATIONAL CURRICULUMNATIONAL EDUCATIONNATIONAL EXAMINATIONSNUMBER OF SCHOOLSNUMBER OF STUDENTSNUMBER OF TEXTBOOKSNUMERACYOPEN SYSTEMSOUTCOMES OF EDUCATIONPARITYPEDAGOGIESPERFORMANCE INDICATORSPERFORMANCE OF SCHOOLSPERFORMANCE OF STUDENTSPHYSICAL EDUCATIONPRIMARY SCHOOLSPROBLEM SOLVINGPROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLSPROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENTPROFICIENCYPUBLIC AWARENESSPUBLIC EDUCATIONPUBLIC EXAMINATIONSPUBLIC SCHOOLSPUBLISHERSQUALITY ASSURANCEQUALITY OF EDUCATIONRATE OF STUDENTSREADERSREADINGREADING ACHIEVEMENTREADING COMPREHENSIONREADING SKILLSREASONINGREPETITION RATESRESEARCHERSSCHOOL BUILDINGSSCHOOL EFFECTIVENESSSCHOOL FACILITIESSCHOOL FACTORSSCHOOL FAILURESCHOOL IMPROVEMENTSCHOOL LEVELSCHOOL PERFORMANCESCHOOL PERSONNELSCHOOL READINGSCHOOL SYSTEMSCHOOLINGSCHOOLSSCIENCE EDUCATIONSCIENCE STUDYSKILL LEVELSSMALL SCHOOLSSOCIAL COHESIONSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL RELATIONSSOCIAL SCIENCESSOCIAL STUDIESSTATISTICAL ANALYSESSTUDENT ABILITYSTUDENT ACHIEVEMENTSTUDENT LEARNINGSTUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMESSTUDENT PERFORMANCESTUDENT SCORESSTUDENTS WITH LEARNING DIFFICULTIESTEACHERTEACHER COMPETENCETEACHER EDUCATIONTEACHER EFFECTIVENESSTEACHER PREPARATIONTEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENTTEACHER QUALIFICATIONTEACHER QUALIFICATIONSTEACHER TRAINERSTEACHER TRAININGTEACHERSTEACHINGTEACHING EXPERIENCETECHNICAL ASSISTANCETECHNICAL KNOWLEDGETEST DEVELOPMENTTEST SCORESTEXTBOOKTEXTBOOK PUBLISHERSTEXTBOOKSWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-7929-5
