A government body performs an annual rating of schools. The rating is given a score (called performance rating). In addition, there are the PISA and TIMSS ranking and other global competitiveness ranking shows the education performance of the country. I want to test if there is an impact of the schools rating on those indicators. Does the improvement in the annual assessment scores (increase or decrease) impact the PISA, TIMSS and GCI ? Longitudinal analysis, but I am strutting to plug in the data in SPSS and to identify the test tool to use. I have 3 years schools assessment scores, the indicators results.
One thing to keep in mind is that while schools have an effect on students in the present, there is a lag of maybe 20 years between their scores and their contributions to global competitiveness. There are a number of other difficulties that Larry Suter and I considered in the recent paper "International Student Achievement Comparisons and US STEM Workforce Development." We make a few other related points in the paper "Multidimensional National Profile ..." Of course, this post doesn't help you get the data into SPSS, but it does provide some context for interpreting the ultimate results of your analysis.
How many schools do you have, grades, sample size, etc.?
Thank you Gregory, I have 224 schools, grade 8-12, been rated since 2011. I want to exam if the authority performance review is worth it and relevant to improving the country ranking.
