2012 National Assessment of Information Acquisition and Processing in Primary Education in Flanders

In 2012 a national assessment was carried out, which was commissioned by the Flemish Government, to assess whether pupils have sufficient skills to acquire and process information at the end of primary education. Data were collected through two written tests: a test on working with tables and graphs and a test on working with plans and drawings. A representative sample of 2383 pupils from 92 Flemish primary schools participated. In addition, the extent to which pupils have mastered certain ICT competencies was assessed through a ICT prformance assessment. A subsample of six pupils from each school participated in this performance assessment. Tests were supplemented with background questionnaires for pupils, parents, teachers and ICT coordinators. The pupil and parent questionnaires collected, among other things, information on socio-economic background, diagnosis of disabilities and circumstances that may stimulate learning. The questionnaire for teachers collected, among other things, information on their teaching experience, the use of educational materials and ICT during the classes. The questionnaire for the ICT coordinator asked about the ICT policy and infrastructure at school. The response rates to these questionnaires were almost 100% for the pupil questionnaire, 93% for the parent questionnaire, 95% for the teacher questionnaire and 93% for the ICT coordinator.2012年，受佛兰芒政府委托开展了一项全国性评估，旨在评估初等教育结束阶段的学生是否具备充足的信息获取与处理能力。本次评估通过两项笔试收集数据：一项为表格与图表操作测试，另一项为平面图与制图操作测试。来自佛兰芒地区92所小学的2383名学生组成代表性样本参与了此次评估。 此外，评估还通过信息与通信技术（ICT）绩效评估，对学生掌握特定ICT技能的程度进行了考察。每所学校抽取6名学生组成子样本参与本次绩效评估。 本次测试配套了面向学生、家长、教师及ICT协调员的背景调查问卷。其中，学生与家长问卷除常规调研内容外，还收集了学生的社会经济背景、残疾诊断情况及可能助力学习的相关环境等信息；教师问卷涵盖了教师教学经验、课堂教学材料使用情况及课堂ICT应用情况等内容；ICT协调员问卷则用于了解学校的ICT政策与基础设施建设情况。 各类问卷的回收率分别为：学生问卷近100%，家长问卷93%，教师问卷95%，ICT协调员问卷93%。
