| Title | Applications of statistical methods in education research |
| Participants | Adriana Cornea-Madeira (Principal Investigator), Nuno Crato |
| Summary | Building on the previous phases of this research program, the 2025 project continues the analysis of International Large Scale Assessment (ILSA) studies, with a particular focus on statistical methodologies for assessing educational outcomes. The release of PISA 2022 and PIRLS 2021 has provided a wealth of data, and this project aims to refine the understanding of the statistical relationships between education policies, socioeconomic factors, and student performance. A key methodological contribution of this phase will be an in-depth exploration of the statistical methods (such as the Difference-in-Differences, DiD) in educational studies. The project will result in a collective book featuring contributions from invited researchers, showcasing applications of statistical methods in various ILSA contexts. By fostering international collaboration, the project will further enhance the robustness of comparative education studies and provide policy-relevant insights into post-pandemic education challenges. |
