TIMSS and PIRLS: The International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement's Global Benchmarks of Achievement

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

"The International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement, more widely known as IEA, supports the theme of the WERA 2021 Focal Meeting by showcasing the advances of its flagship TIMSS and PIRLS in their transition to digital assessments. Digital assessments mirror the need of educational systems to prepare students around the world for the realities of a changing world. Students are living, learning, and will at some point be working in a world that relies on digital technologies at an almost universal level. Educational systems cannot ignore that a vast majority of students in many countries spend hours online every day.
