Citations in the corpus
- Assessment and learning: fields apart? (2017, background): “…population is not controversial, the sample of students tested can be controversial due to issues such as response rates (Elvers, 2010; OECD, 2010a; Prais, 2004, 2007), the grades that the students are in (Wagemaker, 2008) or the extent to which exclusions for issues such as disabilities have been…”
- Comparing the Similarities and Differences of PISA 2003 and TIMSS (2010, background): “Prais (2003) made a number of conjectures in a comparison of PISA and TIMSS results for the United Kingdom.”
- Education policies for raising student learning: the Finnish approach (2007, background): “Nagy (1996) and, more recently, Prais (2003, 2004), Riley and Torrance (2003) and Goldstein (2004) have raised concerns about how data are used and interpreted as well as about the robustness of these studies.”
- The g‐factor of international cognitive ability comparisons: the homogeneity of results in PISA, TIMSS, PIRLS and IQ‐tests across nations (2007, background): “METHODOLOGICAL PROBLEMS International student assessment and intelligence test studies suffer from different problems of sample representativeness and statistical methods; mainly the comparability across nations is questioned (e.g. Collani, 2001; Prais, 2003; Wuttke, 2006).”
- Poverty and worklessness in Britain (2004, unknown): “There is some scepticism about this, not least because the results are at variance with most of the many previous investigations and it is very hard to pinpoint any significant reasons for such a dramatic change ( Prais, 2003 ).”
- International comparisons of student attainment: some issues arising from the PISA study (2004, background): “Sampling problems are also a concern, especially where response rates were low as in England (Prais, 2003), and the absence of longitudinal data is also commented upon (Fertig, 2003).”
