International Handbook of Comparative Large-Scale Studies in Education Published

International Handbook of Comparative Large-Scale Studies in Education provides a comprehensive overview of topics related to International Large-Scale Assessments (ILSA). This handbook is the first of its kind to provide a general and comprehensive overview of virtually every aspect of International Large-Scale Assessments (ILSA). It includes historical, economic, and policy perspectives, theoretical foundations, methodology, and reviews of findings from analyses of ILSA data. With contributions from authors and editors from all continents, this handbook appeals to an international audience and keeps a neutral perspective, not favoring one ILSA over another. The handbook is suitable to be read by politicians, researchers, and stakeholders who are seeking an overview of ILSAs, their history and development, and both potential benefits and limitations regarding policy implications.

Fourteen of the book chapters have been already made available to readers while more chapters will be published in the coming period.
