I dagens DN står att läsa att Estland sticker ut som ett gott exempel på länder där elevers läsförståelse är mycket god.

Det visar sig att vuxna estländare läser längst tid per dag i jämförelse med övriga europer. Där satsar man på bibliotek, både offentliga och skolbibliotek med utbildade bibliotekarier.

I think #COVID19 infection rates of student populations should also be taken into account. Students and households were affected differentially. Our paper on Ontario showed higher rates for student infections in schools in more deprived areas. This could have varied cognitive and policy effects, e.g., more closures in some areas or individual exclusion during infection periods.

Here's a useful commentary on #PIRLS by the UNESCO GEM Report Team.

2. This is generally true of international assessments. The last round of #PIRLS was conducted in 2021 during intermittent global #School closures which were very context specific. Meaning closures wouldn’t account for all differences as there were already existing differences.

3. Singapore, for example, coming out on top isn’t that surprising as it generally performs highly. Compare to South Africa where there has been disinvestment in #Education and #Reading for some years.

More on #PIRLS which has been getting a lot of attention over the last week.

To interpret results, important to note:

1. There were large discrepancies in reading scores coming into the pandemic. Globally, >400 million couldn’t perform basic literacy tasks after having attended school. There were country-level differences between low-income and high-income countries, and within country differences between income groups.

El pasado día 16 leí esta noticia en cadenaser.com: “La pandemia pasa factura a los alumnos de Primaria: España cae siete puntos en comprensión lectora". Se comentan los resultados del informe PIRLS que mide la #competencia #lectora en alumnos/as de 4º de primaria en 57 países.

Desde el #confinamiento de hace 3 años yo no he podido volver a #leer novelas según niveles previos. Incluso mi técnica para no perder la lectura ha sido #releer más que leer cosas nuevas.

En el informe #PIRLS plantean una regresión lineal muy interesante y comentan que "de la disminución de 7 puntos en el rendimiento medio experimentado por España entre 2016 y 2021, casi 5 puntos podrían estar explicados por el cierre de sus centros educativos durante 45 días lectivos"

Aquí lo comento en un post donde añado una breve recopilación de docs científicos sobre el impacto del #Covid en la #lectura:

The international #PIRLS #Reading test scores came out on the 2021 assessment.

Much attention has been on South Africa, where we learned that 81% of children in grade 4 could not read a few simple paragraphs and answer basic questions.

This is an interesting article by Nic Spaull on lessons South Africa and other countries can learn from Brazil.

👍»Jeg har generelt den holdning, at der ikke er det, som læsning ikke er godt for. Det, synes jeg, understøttes af forskningen, som viser, at det har en lang række gavnlige effekter at læse. Både psykisk og fysisk. Og så ved vi, at den, som læser, har bedre chancer for at klare sig godt i alle aspekter af livet«.

Fornuftig leder i information.
"Læselysten skal tilbage i skolen
Flere danske børn læser dårligere, og læseglæden er faldende, viser international læseundersøgelse. Det sætter streg under, at skolereformens ekstra timer ikke har gjort eleverne dygtigere"

The latest international rankings for reading levels among 9 and 10 year olds have been released - and England, Finland and Poland are among the top scorers.

The Progress in International Reading Literacy Study - known as PIRLS - was undertaken in 2021 and assessed 400,000 pupils in 57 countries.

The study was hampered by Covid-19, however, with some countries forced to delay testing due to disruption caused by the pandemic.
