NOTE: Education systems are ordered by the percentage of students reaching the Advanced international benchmark. Germany, Phone: +49 (0)40 48 500 500 Countries whose fourth-grade students are still developing fundamental reading skills can participate in the PIRLS Literacy assessment and still have their results reported on the PIRLS achievement scale. Relative Achievement in Reading Purposes and Comprehension Processes, School Composition, Resources, and Climate, Students Reading Attitudes and Behaviors, Transitioned to digital assessment (discussed here), Implemented a group adaptive design (see later section. For more information on the bridge study, refer to the PIRLS 2021 International Methods and Procedures. The ePIRLS online reading achievement scale enables countries to examine their fourth-graders' online reading performance relative to their performance on the PIRLS reading achievement scales. PIRLS and TIMSS have built a reputation for reporting high quality data, but not all data collected meet the expected guidelines. Each task involved navigating to and obtaining information from two to three different simulated websites, totaling 5 to 10 web pages. The countries with delayed testing and older students are highlighted in pink. The results from previous administrations can be obtained by clicking on the instructions on the banner on the same page. First, the usual concurrent calibration approach (described in Chapter 11 of Methods and Procedures: PIRLS 2021 Technical Report) was applied to the paper-based data from PIRLS 2016 and PIRLS 2021, ensuring that the PIRLS 2021 paper data was linked to the PIRLS trend scale. The PIRLS 2016 design linked PIRLS blocks of passages and items with less difficult PIRLS Literacy blocks through blocks common to both assessments (see Chapter 3 of PIRLS 2016 Assessment Frameworks). Next, Finland, Poland, Chinese Taipei, and Sweden had lower average reading achievement than the top four countries, but these four countries did not have different average achievement from each other and both Finland and Poland had higher estimated average reading achievement than each of the other countries. To maintain trend with previous PIRLS cycles, in 2016 Norway also collected data from fourth-grade students, which is used in trend tables. Since 2021, PIRLS has provided high-quality data for monitoring progress in students' reading achievement at the fourth grade, covering 20 years of trends. The tests for significance take into account the standard error for the reported difference. In such cases, PIRLS and TIMSS use annotations to identify results based on data that for some reason fell short of meeting the expected guidelines. All rights reserved. Exhibit 1.3 includes all the countries presented according to average achievement, with the delayed assessment countries that assessed the fourth grade cohort at the beginning of the fifth grade highlighted in pink. 5 Administered the PIRLS 4th-grade assessment to both 4th-grade students and 5th-grade students in 2006. The more difficult booklets include difficult and medium texts and items, and the less difficult booklets include easy and medium texts and items. The background questionnaire is used to determine the reading behaviors and attitudes. Nearly 60 countries around the world participated in PIRLS 2021, the fifth cycle of IEA's PIRLS since its inception in 2001. Score is lower than U.S. average score. These background data include information about the following: national curriculum policies in reading; how the education system is organized to facilitate learning; students' home environment for learning; school climate and resources; and how instruction actually occurs in classrooms. 16 May 2023 England came fourth internationally for primary reading proficiency in the highly anticipated Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) results. PIRLS collects background information on how education systems provide educational opportunities to their students as well as the factors that influence how students use these opportunities. The international median represents all participating PIRLS education systems, including the United States. There are a total of 8 passage. NOTE: OECD member countries are shown in bold. Exhibit 1.2 is based on a traditional approach of testing for significance of differences and does not provide information about practical significance. 1016 EE Amsterdam To ensure all target levels were successfully met, twice as many12 text and items setswere developed for the field test. The assessments were administered to nationally representative and well-documented probability samples of students in each country. Similar to previous PIRLS assessments, to prepare for PIRLS 2021, the TIMSS & PIRLS International Study Center, IEA Hamburg, and Statistics Canada worked to select a carefully designed random sample of schools within each country and trained countries in data collection procedures designed to yield high quality data. In addition, questionnaires are given to PIRLS adapted rapidly to the situation and included context questionnaire items specifically targeted to collect information about the challenges faced by the PIRLS 2021 schools and students during COVID-19. It can be said that the pandemic affected almost all countries to some extent, and no assessment can provide data on how students would have performed without COVID-19 affecting schools. PIRLS has used well-established psychometric scaling approaches to derive achievement distributions and transform the assessment results of each PIRLS data collection to the PIRLS trend scale. Students in the main sample took the 2021 digital assessment, while the bridge sample was administered the PIRLS 2021 trend items in the PIRLS 2016 paper format. Introduction Curriculum Questionnaire Exhibits Country Chapters Introduction Download Introduction PDF The PIRLS 2021 Encyclopedia: Education Policy and Curriculum in Reading presents a profile of reading and language instruction in PIRLS 2021 countries and benchmarking systems. > Findings from PIRLS 2021 Digital Assessment PIRLS 2021 Participants Major Publications PIRLS 2021 Progress in International Reading Literacy Study 2021 20 Years of Trends in Reading Achievement IEA's PIRLS 2021 is the fifth cycle in the PIRLS assessment. 7 Administered the PIRLS 4th-grade assessment to both 4th-grade students and 6th-grade students in 2011. Also, two ePIRLS tasks were published on the PIRLS 2016 website, so two new tasks for PIRLS 2021 were developed to replace them. The fourth grade students in almost three-fourths (30 out of the 43 countries) had higher achievement than the scale centerpoint of 500 (a point that is stable across assessment cycles, see History of the PIRLS Reading Achievement Scale). The TIMSS & PIRLS International Study Center conducted a series of analyses to establish that there was little or no difference in the responses to the Context Questionnaires between the bulk of the PIRLS 2021 countries that assessed students at the end of fourth grade and the countries with delayed testing of the fourth grade cohort at the beginning of fifth grade. Sumar. Although these two countries had lower average achievement () than Singapore, each had higher estimated average achievement than the rest of the other countries in the exhibit. The study examined three aspects of reading literacy: processes of comprehension, purposes for reading, and reading literacy behavior and attitudes. The United States administered the PIRLS 2021 digital assessment and the PIRLS 2021 paper bridge assessment. For more information on PIRLS 2026, refer to the PIRLS 2026 brochure. The results show that a number of countries performed quite well in PIRLS 2016, with 34 countries having higher achievement than the centerpoint of 500. https://doi.org/10.6017/lse.tpisc.tr2103.kb5342, Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 2023906665, Please read our Copyright Notice and Disclaimer , TIMSS & PIRLS International Study Center Despite the many challenges of conducting a school-based assessment during the COVID-19 pandemic, countries remained committed to participating in PIRLS 2021. Despite not being able to identify the impact of the delayed assessment, it is clear that the students in these five countries are very capable readers. The overall achievement results for the 57 PIRLS 2021 participating countries and 8 benchmarking participants are presented in three exhibits. Although collecting data in schools faced many disruptions, most countries met the standards for high-quality data collection. Looking across the row for Singaporethe first country listedshows an entire row of up arrows (), indicating that Singapore had higher average achievement (significant at p < = 0.05) than each one of the other countries. Exhibit 3 shows the percentages of students in the PIRLS 2021 countries by the number of weeks their principals reported that normal primary school operations were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. a questionnaire that addresses their attitudes toward reading and their reading habits. [3], PIRLS[1] provides internationally comparative data on how well children read by assessing students' reading achievement. Relative Achievement in Reading Purposes and Comprehension Processes, School Composition, Resources, and Climate, Students Reading Attitudes and Behaviors, Previous: Countries Reading Achievement Introduction, Next: Average Reading Achievement by Gender , Impacts of Modifying the Assessment Schedule on Students Achievement, Average Reading Achievement and Scale Score Distributions. Position. For PIRLS 2016, Norway revised its assessed population to students in the fifth grade to obtain better comparisons with Sweden and Finland. Together with the TIMSS & PIRLS International Study Center, IEA Hamburg staff worked closely with NRCs to organize data collection operations and to check all data for accuracy and consistency within and across countries. Trend results across assessments permit countries to monitor the effectiveness of their educational systems in a global context, and PIRLS 2021 marks 20 years of trends. Including the newly developed blocks for 2021, the group adaptive design in PIRLS 2021 led to a lower item non-response rate and more precise achievement estimates than the non-adaptive design in PIRLS 2016 (see Chapter 9 in Methods and Procedures: PIRLS 2021 Technical Report). Benchmarking Entities Exhibit 1.3 includes the average reading achievement and scale score distribution for all 57 countries and 8 benchmarking entities, including the results for the students in the 14 countries and 3 benchmarking entities (half a year older) that delayed data collection until the beginning of the fifth grade (highlighted in pink). For example, the study collects detailed information about curriculum and curriculum implementation, instructional practices, and school resources. The scale has a typical range of achievement between 300 and 700. The PIRLS Reading Development Group (RDG) and National Research Coordinators (NRCs) from the participating countries collaborate to develop the reading assessments. A major purpose of PIRLS is to provide background information that can be used to improve teaching and learning. To maintain trend with previous PIRLS cycles, in 2016 Norway also collected data from students in their 4th year of schooling. Compared to 15% in the US and England. By this time in their education, students typically have learned how to read and are now reading to learn. The student test of reading comprehension addressed four processes: PIRLS 2006 assessed students enrolled in the fourth grade. as well as school and teacher practices related to instruction. The PIRLS 2021 group adaptive design provides better measurement through better alignment across countries between the assessment difficulty and the students levels of reading achievement. PIRLS 2016 was released on December 5, 2017.

Fax +1-617-552-1203. The extensive efforts to maintain PIRLS quality standards during the COVID-19 pandemic were largely successful. ", SchoolsThis questionnaire includes questions about "enrollment and school characteristics, school organization for reading instruction, school staffing and resources, home-school connections, and the school environment. 8 Starting in PIRLS 2016, Norway chose to assess students in the 5th year of schooling, so students would be compared with similar age students in Sweden, Denmark, and Finland. However, as it is well known, many schools around the world faced considerable disruptions to their operations due to COVID-19, with a good number shifting to remote learning or reduced classroom sizes. This resulted in equivalent samples of students in each country responding to the trend items in the paper and digital formats, which enabled bridging the trend scale from paper-based PIRLS 2016 to digitally-based PIRLS in 2021. Although COVID-19 impacted data collection, resulting in less questionnaire data included here than in previous assessment cycles, all of the PIRLS 2021 Context Questionnaire data are included in the PIRLS 2021 International Database.

The PIRLS 2021 Context Questionnaire Framework (see Chapter 2 of PIRLS 2021 Assessment Frameworks) describes the topics covered by the PIRLS 2021 Context Questionnaires. In terms of trends, the PIRLS results for student achievement by country states that 18 countries had higher average achievement, 13 countries had the same average achievement, and 10 countries had lower average achievement; and girls had higher reading achievement than boys in 48 of the 50 countries. In PIRLS 2021, 26 countries and 7 benchmarking entities transitioned to digital assessment as their primary mode of data collection, while also administering the paper-based trend texts replicated from PIRLS 2016 to a bridge sample. Five education systems participated in PIRLS Literacy (Egypt, Iran, Kuwait, Morocco, and South Africa); two of these education systems completed both PIRLS and PIRLS Literacy (Iran and Morocco). PIRLS 2021 INTERNATIONAL RESULTS IN READING PIRLS 2021 is the fifth cycle of the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study. Reporting the achievement data from each successive PIRLS assessment on the PIRLS scale enables monitoring increases or decreases in achievement across assessment cycles. Second, the digital assessment data from the digital countries was linked to the PIRLS trend scale through population-based linking, which capitalizes on the availability of equivalent samples from the same populations between the digital and bridge samples. It has been conducted every five years since 2001 by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA). Email: mail@iea-hamburg.de PIRLS uses the scale centerpoint as a point of reference that remains constant from assessment to assessment. Going down the exhibit, looking across each row in turn, England (with its assessment conducted in 2022 as noted by the bowtie, ) had lower average achievement than Singapore, Hong Kong SAR, and the Russian Federation but higher achievement than the rest of the other countries.

Significance in the statistical sense means that the size of the difference is surprising compared to the standard error of the difference. PIRLS 2021 is the only international assessment of educational achievement that successfully collected data during COVID-19s disruption in students schooling. The achievement distributions in Exhibit 1.1 show a large within-country range in many of PIRLS 2021 countriesabout 200 points or even larger between lower- and higher-performing students. Other Uses and Activities 7. Italics indicate participants identified as a non-national entity that represents a portion of a country. The PIRLS 2021 Reading Assessment Framework provides information that emphasizes the growing importance of ePIRLS, the world leading assessment of online reading that was successfully launched in 14 countries in 2016 (see ePIRLS 2016 International Results in Online Informational Reading). 188 Beacon St., Chestnut Hill, MA 02467, USA is an international assessment and research project designed to measure reading achievement at the fourth-grade level, Despite the initial emergence of COVID-19 in 2020 at the time scheduled for the field test, more than half the countries were able to collect field test data. "[2] The PIRLS target population is the grade that represents four years of schooling, counting from the first year of ISCED Level 1, which corresponds to the fourth grade in most countries. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. The exception is the 14 Northern Hemisphere countries that necessarily had to delay testing and assessed students at the beginning of the fifth grade. Complete documentation of the many technical activities required to conduct PIRLS 2021 is provided in the Methods and Procedures: PIRLS 2021 Technical Report documentation. Concerns about the comparability of the data resulting from COVID-19 school disruptions and delayed testing complicated reporting the PIRLS 2021 results. The United States opted to report the paper bridge scores. PIRLS complements what we learn from national assessments by providing valuable benchmark information on how U.S. students compare to students around the world. For PIRLS 2016, Norway revised its assessed population to students in the fifth grade to obtain better comparisons with Sweden and Finland. 2019 TIMSS & PIRLS International Study Center, Lynch School of Education, Boston College, and International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement. 2023 TIMSS & PIRLS International Study Center, Lynch School of Education and Human Development, Boston College, and The PIRLS reading assessment is based on a comprehensive framework that focuses on two overarching purposes for . The PIRLS reading achievement scale was established in PIRLS 2001, based on the achievement across all participating countries, treating each country equally. PIRLS 2021 International Results in Reading. The benchmarking participants are in a separate section at the bottom of the exhibit for ease of comparison. Ranked against 42 other countries, England has climbed up the rankings since coming joint eighth in the previous Pirls study in 2016. PIRLS 2021 evolves further from PIRLS 2016 in allowing countries to administer the full PIRLS reading assessment, including both PIRLS Informational and Literary (the previous standard PIRLS assessment), and the ePIRLS Online Informational (the previous ePIRLS), as one digitally based endeavour. 3 Administered the PIRLS 4th-grade assessment to 6th-grade students in 2011. Students were then asked to complete a series of comprehension questions based on these tasks. 188 Beacon St., Chestnut Hill, MA 02467, USA PIRLS 2021 International Results in Reading. In Exhibit 1.2, reading across a country row provides a way to compare that countrys average achievement to the average achievement of each of the other PIRLS 2021 countries shown across the top of the exhibit. Hong Kong SAR and the Russian Federation had the next highest average reading achievement. 9 Administered the PIRLS 4th-grade assessment to 3rd-grade students and 4th-grade students in 2001.
