- PublicationOpen AccessSistemas de presentación de los resultados de las evaluaciones del rendimiento educativo: Aplicación al estudio internacional de la lengua inglesa en la Educación Secundaria(2003-01-01) Gil Escudero, Guillermo; Suárez Falcón, Juan CarlosIn this paper a procedure, based on Item Response Theory (IRT), to display achievement outcomes from international and national educational assessments is presented. This procedure, which combines normative and criterial evaluation, is compared with the classical approach which uses direct scores or the percentages of correct responses. As an example, the procedure is applied to the secondary level student’s outcomes from the International Study in Teaching and Learning of English Language. The obtained results and the advantages and limitations of classical and IRT procedures are described and discussed.
