ICILS 2023 International Database: International Computer and Information Literacy Study

The ICILS study measures international differences in students’ computer and information literacy (CIL). This type of literacy refers to students’ ability to use computers to investigate, create, and communicate in order to participate effectively at home, at school, in the workplace, and in the community. In addition to student achievement, the study collects a rich array of contextual data on students' home and school environments.
ICILS 2023 directly linked to the previous, 2018 cycle, allowing countries that participated in both assessments to monitor changes over time in their students' computer and information literacy achievement and its teaching and learning contexts. For first-time participants, ICILS shed light on the contexts and outcomes of ICT-related education programs, and the role of schools and teachers in supporting students’ computer and information literacy achievement.
ICILS 2023 also reported on the computational thinking domain, understood as the process of working out exactly how computers can help us solve problems. This domain included not only programming but also structuring and manipulating data sets.

ICILS研究旨在衡量学生计算机与信息素养（Computer and Information Literacy，CIL）的国际差异。此类素养指学生运用计算机开展探究、创造与交流的能力，以助力其在家中、学校、职场及社区中有效参与各类活动。除学生学业表现外，该研究还收集了关于学生家庭与学校环境的丰富情境数据。

ICILS 2023与前一轮（2018年）评估直接关联，使参与两次评估的国家能够监测学生计算机与信息素养表现及其教与学情境随时间的变化。对于首次参与的国家而言，ICILS揭示了信息与通信技术（Information and Communications Technology，ICT）相关教育项目的情境与成果，以及学校和教师在支持学生计算机与信息素养发展中的作用。

ICILS 2023还报告了计算思维（Computational Thinking）领域的相关内容，该领域被定义为探究计算机如何助力解决问题的过程。此领域不仅涵盖编程，还包括数据集的结构化处理与操作。
