NSSA 2012: 8th Grade Teachers of the Lithuanian Language Study, 2012
No full textThe purpose of the study: to provide impartial information for the school, its students, and their parents (caregivers, foster parents) about the achievements to make decisions on the further improvements of teaching and studying on student, teacher, class, school, municipality, and national level.
The objectives of National Survey of Student Achievement (NASA):
to collect the information for monitoring the national students’ achievements, planning the novelties, and implementing the novelties for monitoring the success;
to evaluate the educational content, and substantiating students’ achievement criteria based on collected data;
to prepare the necessary tools (i.e., standardized tests, etc.) for students and teachers for the impartial evaluation of their work results;
to prepare the necessary tools (i.e., standardized tests, etc.) for the municipality’s education subdivisions and school principals for collecting the required data of work result assessments and planning of activities.
National Survey of Student Achievement, first implemented in 2002, became the responsibility of the Education Supply Centre. Due to economic reasons, the assessments were not provided from 2009 to 2011. In 2012, the renewed assessment implementation was consigned to the National Examination Centre. Since the 2nd of September, 2019, the National Agency of Education took over the activities of the National Examination Centre and continues to carry them on to this day.
In 2012, 5 NASA surveys were carried out. One line in SPSS Statistics from the 2012 National Survey of Student Achievement coincides with the achievements or questionnaire answers of one particular student or a teacher. The information provided in databases is impersonal - a student or a teacher is identified based on code, without providing the class or school’s name. Each school that has participated in the 2012 National Survey of Student Achievement received a unique five-number school code. The code used for identifying the schools of both grade 4 and grade 8 students and teachers consists of a school code and the numbers identifying a class and a student. The class code in the student’s database coincides with the code in the teacher’s database. To connect these databases, the variable named “ID_klase” would have to be used as an identifier.
This dataset contains data from a survey of 8th grade teachers of the lithuanian language study.
All the provided questionnaire answers from teachers appear in teacher databases from the 2012 National Survey of Student Achievement. The same questionnaire was given to all the teachers. The teacher questionnaire consisted of general questions (to analyse the educational context), as well as personal questions or questions about the objective field.
