Session Type: Symposium
The symposium will examine results from the International Study of City Youth (ISCY) baseline survey, which was completed by over 30,000 15-year-old students in 12 cities around the world in 2013-2014. The symposium will focus on the development of 21st century skills, which were measured through various scaled items in the ISCY survey. Five cities involved in ISCY will present results for their city, including analysis of school-level differences in student outcomes, and consideration of contextual factors that may have bearing on student results. The symposium will also include a paper synthesising outcomes across the ISCY cities, using multi-level analysis to identify factors that impact at school and system level.
