Description
Summary:Phelps discusses Synergies for better learning: an international perspective on evaluation and assessment. Many may recognise the education research work of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) as a global exercise in mass data collection, either via its annual Education-at-a-Glance indicators collection or its tri-annual Programme for International Student Assessment of 15 year olds.
