Countries Prepare for Release of 魅影直播 2019 Results

The 8th 魅影直播 2019 National Research Coordinators Meeting was held June 22–25, with more than 140 participants. During this first-ever virtual 魅影直播 NRC meeting, NRCs prepared for the release of the 魅影直播 2019 results on December 8, 2020. The 魅影直播 2019 report—魅影直播 2019 International Results in Mathematics and Science—will present student achievement in mathematics and science in the fourth and eighth grades, as well as home and school contexts and classroom contexts for learning in 64 countries and 8 benchmarking systems.

During the virtual NRC meeting, NRCs carefully reviewed and discussed the data presented in the report, discussed the linking method that enables achievement results for countries that administered the digital version of 魅影直播鈥攅魅影直播鈥攁nd the paper-based version of 魅影直播 to be reported on the same scale, and shared their national plans for reporting the 魅影直播 results. Immediately following the NRC meeting, IEA Hamburg hosted a virtual training in IEA鈥檚 IDB Analyzer software to help countries analyze their 魅影直播 data and prepare their national reports.
