This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
Please include a section about IEA's major studies and a list of institutional members(see below). I was recently alerted to that fact that much of the information on IEA-related Wikipedia pages are outdated and missing/not reflecting some of the latest information (such as, latest study cycles, current country members, existing publications), hence why I created this request.

18:38, 16 April 2021 (UTC)Since its founding in 1958, IEA has conducted more than 30 research studies of cross-national achievement. IEA studies focus on subjects of particular interest to IEA members. These include mathematics and science studies, reading studies, civic and citizenship education, computer and information literacy, and teacher education, among others. A regular cycle of studies in basic school subjects includes:
In 2005, IEA also initiated its first study in tertiary education:
IEA repeats assessments in specific subjects on regular (e.g., PIRLS and TIMSS) and irregular (e.g., ICCS, ICILS) intervals. The cycle of studies enables countries to monitor changes in education and educational achievement over time. IEA studies consider the processes and effects of education, using the notion of 'opportunity to learn' in order to understand the linkages between:
To investigate these relations, IEA collects student achievement data, as well as background information from school principals, teachers, students (in some studies, also from parents), and policymakers about the contexts of teaching and learning.
IEA also runs the Literacy and Numeracy Assessment (LaNA) to provide educators with experience in standardized assessment, implementation of the assessment procedures, and capacity building in planning and administering assessments, and reporting outcomes. A short basic assessment at the end of primary school, LaNA is intended for developing education systems where the IEA’s Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study and Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (TIMSS and PIRLS) may be too difficult to implement.
The IEA currently has more than 65 institutional members around the world, most which represent one national system of education, although a few countries have representation for more than one education system. [2]
Institutional Members include:
Africa
Asia
Australasia
Europe
North Africa and Middle East
The Americas
