Author Description

<p>This open access book presents the conceptual and operational foundations of the</p> <p>IEA International Computer and Information Literacy Study (2023), which is designed</p> <p>to assess how well students are prepared for study, work, and life in a digital world.</p> <p>The study measures international differences in students’ computer and information</p> <p>literacy (CIL): their ability to use computers to investigate, create, participate and</p> <p>communicate at home, at school, in the workplace and in the community. Participating</p> <p>countries also have an option for their students to complete an assessment of</p> <p>computational thinking (CT).</p> <p> </p> <p>The ICILS assessment framework articulates the basic structure of the study. It</p> <p>provides a description of the field and the constructs to be measured. It outlines the</p> <p>design and content of the measurement instruments, sets down the rationale for</p> <p>those designs, and describes how measures generated by those instruments relate</p> <p>to the constructs. In addition, it hypothesizes relations between constructs so as to</p> <p>provide the foundation for some of the analyses that follow.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
