NSSA 2015: 8th Grade Teachers of the Physics Study, 2015

The purpose of the study: to provide impartial information for the school, its students, and their parents (caregivers, foster parents) about the achievements to make decisions on the further improvements of teaching and studying on student, teacher, class, school, municipality, and national level. The objectives of National Survey of Student Achievement (NASA): to collect the information for monitoring the national students’ achievements, planning the novelties, and implementing the novelties for monitoring the success; to evaluate the educational content, and substantiating students’ achievement criteria based on collected data; to prepare the necessary tools (i.e., standardized tests, etc.) for students and teachers for the impartial evaluation of their work results; to prepare the necessary tools (i.e., standardized tests, etc.) for the municipality’s education subdivisions and school principals for collecting the required data of work result assessments and planning of activities. National Survey of Student Achievement, first implemented in 2002, became the responsibility of the Education Supply Centre. Due to economic reasons, the assessments were not provided from 2009 to 2011. In 2012, the renewed assessment implementation was consigned to the National Examination Centre. Since the 2nd of September, 2019, the National Agency of Education took over the activities of the National Examination Centre and continues to carry them on to this day. This dataset contains data from a survey of 8th grade teachers of the physics study. All the provided questionnaire answers from teachers appear in teacher databases from the 2015 National Survey of Student Achievement. The same questionnaire was given to all the teachers. The teacher questionnaire consisted of general questions (to analyse the educational context), as well as personal questions or questions about the objective field. Dataset "NSSA 2015: 8th Grade Teachers of the Physics Study, 2015" metadata and data were prepared implementing project "Disparities in School Achievement from a Person and Variable-Oriented Perspective: A Prototype of a Learning Analytics Tool NO-GAP" from 2020 to 2023. Project leader is chief research fellow Rasa Erentaitė. Project is funded by the European Regional Development Fund according to the 2014–2020 Operational Programme for the European Union Funds’ Investments, under measure’s No. 01.2.2-LMT-K-718 activity “Research Projects Implemented by World-class Researcher Groups to develop R&D activities relevant to economic sectors, which could later be commercialized” under a grant agreement with the Lithuanian Research Council (LMTLT).

本研究旨在为学校、学生及其家长（监护人、养父母）提供公正的信息，以促进学生、教师、班级、学校、市镇以及国家层面教学与学习的进一步改进决策。国家学生成就调查（National Survey of Student Achievement, NASA）的目标包括：收集信息以监控全国学生的成就，规划创新并实施创新以监控成功；评估教育内容，并基于收集到的数据确立学生成就标准；为学生和教师准备必要的工具（例如标准化测试等），以实现对其工作成果的公正评估；为学生市镇的教育部门和学校校长准备必要的工具（例如标准化测试等），以收集工作成果评估和活动规划所需的数据。国家学生成就调查自2002年首次实施以来，成为教育供应中心的责任。由于经济原因，2009年至2011年未提供评估。2012年，更新的评估实施工作委托给了国家考试中心。自2019年9月2日起，国家教育机构接管了国家考试中心的活动，并持续至今。此数据集包含了对物理学科8年级教师进行的调查数据。所有教师提供的问卷答案均出现在2015年国家学生成就调查的教师数据库中。所有教师均接受了相同的问卷。教师问卷包括一般性问题（用于分析教育背景），以及个人问题或关于目标领域的问题。数据集“NSSA 2015：物理学科8年级教师，2015”的元数据和数据是在2020年至2023年实施的“从个人和变量导向视角研究学校成就差异：学习分析工具原型NO-GAP”项目中准备的。项目负责人为首席研究员Rasa Erentaitė。该项目由欧洲区域发展基金根据2014-2020年欧盟资金投资运营计划资助，在立陶宛研究理事会（LMTLT）的拨款协议下，根据措施No. 01.2.2-LMT-K-718活动“由世界级研究团队实施的研究项目，以开发与经济部门相关的研发活动，这些活动可进一步商业化”进行资助。
