International large-scale assessment analysis in R workshop

January 20^th University of Bath, 10:00 – 16:30

This is a workshop for analysing data from international large-scale assessments. The workshop will focus on the International Civic and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS), but the content is applicable for other assessments (e.g. TIMSS, PISA, PIRLS).

The goal of the workshop is to support students from any discipline interested in analysing data from international large-scale assessments. We will cover all stages in the analysis cycle, including downloading the data, identifying variables of interest, descriptive statistics, and basic analytical statistics.

The workshop focuses on using R for analysis. Basic familiarity with the software would be useful but support can be given for those less familiar. R code for example analyses will be provided so that students can use it as a reference in the future.

Lunch will be provided. This workshop is supported by the SWDTP and developed in collaboration with the ICCS international study centre in the Department of Education at the University of Bath.
