  • Students´ attitudes, beliefs and expectations.
  • Parental Attitudes and beliefs (only 4º grade).
  • Teacher socio – demographic characteristics and teaching strategies.
  • Principals´ characteristics and strategies.

2. PIRLS (PROGRESS IN INTERNATIONAL READING LITERACY STUDY).

The PIRLS target population is the grade that represents four years of schooling, counting from the first year of ISCED (International Standard Classification of Education) Level 1, which corresponds to the fourth grade in most countries. Internationally comparative data on how well children read by assessing students´ reading achievement with standardized tests. Years: 2001, 2006, 20 11, 2016. INFORMATION IN PIRLS (2011).

3. PISA (PROGRAMME FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS ASSESSMENT)

The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) is a triennial international survey which aims to evaluate education systems worldwide by testing the skills and knowledge of 15 – year old students.

Students were assessed in science, mathematics, reading, collaborative problem solving and financial literacy. Rich information on students, parents, schools and (from the last edition) teachers (similar to TIMMS/PIRLS).
